評分Pinker在歪路上益行益遠
評分人類爬到食物鏈頂端當然也要占據道德至高點,但是對非人類以及整個生態圈的縱嚮暴力就不是暴力嗎?此書版稅要抵多少智商稅。
評分this is by far my favorite among all of the steven pinker books, but so long. Gosh. Very rich in info though
評分有一次教授舉著此人寫的一本關於語言的書咆哮這個SoB搶先寫瞭她的idea ╮(╯_╰)╭
Steven Pinker is one of the world's leading authorities on language and the mind. His popular and highly praised books include Words and Rules, How the Mind Works, and The Language Instinct. The recipient of several major awards for his teaching and scientific research, Pinker is Peter de Florez professor of psychology in the department of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
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.
文 / 郑渝川 1981年,政治学家泰德·罗伯特·戈尔利用英国档案中法庭和郡政府的记录,估算了英国历史上不同时代的凶杀率。数据显示,从13世纪到20世纪,英国各地的凶杀率逐渐下降,20世纪中叶的数据是14世纪的1/50,甚至1%。 这一发现击破了一个旧有观念,即过去的世界是一派田...

評分善、正义与快播案 有人说,自由主义的道德立场就是正义比善更重要。 什么是善呢?善就是好的生活。 什么是正义呢?正义就是好的社会。 因此,正义比善更重要,意思就是好的社会比好的生活更重要。 为什么?因为自由主义者认为,一个好的社会必然是一个自由的社会,而在一...
