具体描述

Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, pogroms, gruesome punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened?

This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives- the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away-and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.

从进化心理学的角度来说,所谓善恶无非是人类在漫长的演化过程中为适应生存而筛选出的心理本能。我们谈论人性中善的发扬就要探讨恶是如何被限制的,也就是本书的副标题——暴力为什么会减少。 首先,本书以详实浩繁的资料数据证实了人类社会暴力事件的减少,特别是近几百年甚...

关于人道主义革命的起因 十七世纪以来的人道主义革命的起因,一个可能的解释是人们在自己生活改善的同时变得更有同情心了。原来廉价的生命变得越来越珍贵了。这一假说大致符合历史的大潮流,一千多年的时间里,世界一步步摆脱了人祭和酷刑处决等野蛮习俗,也是在这一千多年的时...

很长的一本书;相比后三分之一的分析,反而是前半对于暴力与战争历史的综述更引人思考。

人类爬到食物链顶端当然也要占据道德至高点,但是对非人类以及整个生态圈的纵向暴力就不是暴力吗?此书版税要抵多少智商税。
