An important and timely message about the biological roots of human kindness.
—Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape
Are we our brothers' keepers? Do we have an instinct for compassion? Or are we, as is often assumed, only on earth to serve our own survival and interests? In this thought-provoking book, the acclaimed author of Our Inner Ape examines how empathy comes naturally to a great variety of animals, including humans.
By studying social behaviors in animals, such as bonding, the herd instinct, the forming of trusting alliances, expressions of consolation, and conflict resolution, Frans de Waal demonstrates that animals–and humans–are "preprogrammed to reach out." He has found that chimpanzees care for mates that are wounded by leopards, elephants offer "reassuring rumbles" to youngsters in distress, and dolphins support sick companions near the water's surface to prevent them from drowning. From day one humans have innate sensitivities to faces, bodies, and voices; we've been designed to feel for one another.
De Waal's theory runs counter to the assumption that humans are inherently selfish, which can be seen in the fields of politics, law, and finance, and whichseems to be evidenced by the current greed-driven stock market collapse. But he cites the public's outrage at the U.S. government's lack of empathy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as a significant shift in perspective–one that helped Barack Obama become elected and ushered in what may well become an Age of Empathy. Through a better understanding of empathy's survival value in evolution, de Waal suggests, we can work together toward a more just society based on a more generous and accurate view of human nature.
Written in layman's prose with a wealth of anecdotes, wry humor, and incisive intelligence, The Age of Empathy is essential reading for our embattled times.

说在前面的话: 对果壳的印象一直很好:接地气,说人话,很靠谱;读罢此书,这种印象进一步加深了。 科学的温情面,动物的“人性”观 ——评《共情时代》 文|杜子腾 最近读了很多译作,翻译风格千差万别,十分影响阅读的效率。然果壳阅读的这本《共情时代》是目前唯一一本读...
評分一直以来,社会中对人性的主导思潮都认为,人与人之间是充满着利益关系的,自私性与竞争性构成了我们所熟知的人类社会,各个领域的书籍都教会我们如何采取行之有效的手段来取得更大的利益,这个时候,谈及感情,难免显得扭扭捏捏,天真不已。 人性或许天生就充满着某种自私性...
評分从达尔文《物种起源》将人从万物之灵的神坛拉下变成猴子的后代开始,人的动物本质逐渐被世人接受,到了以竞争为核心动力的经济时代,“物竞天择,适者生存”更是成为竞争者的最佳座右铭,尽管这几个字并非达尔文所言。在人文社科领域,进化论促进了进化心理学、行为经济学...
評分(啊,题目好烂俗……但感觉就是酱紫的……) 在看这本书之前,我自己其实并没有真的思考过这方面的事情。共情心?同情?自私?博爱?公平意识?这些心理或感情,多少显得有点太熟悉,似乎已经嵌入了意识深处,以至于平时都想不起来要思考一下这些心理产生的根源。而且,即使是...
