pinker越來越暢銷書作傢瞭,滾迴去好好寫專業書
評分大概用瞭兩個月讀完,生詞不少,有的領域不熟悉,很妨礙理解,特彆是看的英文。前麵舉證的地方會看得很震驚,人類竟然做過這麼可怕的事情?!後麵的論述(反復對比與分析)又覺得看到瞭希望。平剋應該對人類是有大愛的,否則也不能剋製情感泛濫地完成這本書。
評分花瞭兩個多月時間啃完這本英文的大部頭,感覺像是研究生修瞭一門哲學課。觀點上其實也不稀奇,簡單說就是a smarter world is a less violent world,關鍵是Pinker對古今各種學術觀點和證據的淵博,以及論證的縝密謹嚴太厲害瞭,擱在中國這就是錢鍾書量級的大學者。我讀過文筆好的當代學術大明星,社會學的Steven Pinker,曆史的Niall Ferguson,人類學的Jared Diamond,經濟學的Paul Krugman,政治學的Francis Fukuyama,生物學的Richard Dawkins,讀他們的書感覺就像吃聰明豆,學瞭什麼已經不重要瞭,純粹地長智力。

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.
随着人类狩猎采集的方式出现,大型杀戮就开始了。为了生存,人类残杀动植物,甚至同种族;后来,为了争夺土地,为了族人更好的团结生活,逐渐形成了国家、文明。而现代各国家安定的发展,其实正是从古代的杀戮,经过文明的洗礼,才走向了和平,完成了人类自我的救赎。 《人性...
評分 評分关于本书的赞誉很多,就不多说了,谈谈个人觉得最有趣的部分。 这本书不仅仅谈论暴力的下降,它还讲了很多权力革命的来龙去脉和所有的推动因素,所以每当那些还嫌权力革命进程速度不够快怎么办的性情急躁的朋友们,问我以往的民权运动是怎么发生的,我都强烈地推荐人性中的善良...
評分文 / 西闪 读到史蒂芬·平克(Steven Pinker)的巨著《人性中的善良天使》,颇感兴奋。平克是我一直关注的科学家,他的《语言本能》《心智探奇》等书,都给我的阅读带来极大的愉悦。几年前听闻他写了一本讨论人类暴力史的大部头,中文版权已由严搏非先生引进,我就一直期待着...
