The biologist Edward O. Wilson is a rare scientist: having over a long career made signal contributions to population genetics, evolutionary biology, entomology, and ethology, he has also steeped himself in philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences.

读这本书是痛苦并快乐着。 快乐是因为初看书名,在这个信息爆炸的时代,出于功利主义,被关键词“知识”加“融通”吸引。以为可以获得一种融汇跨界知识的方法论。 痛苦是因为书真的太专业, 许多章节都要看十分钟书,百度二十分钟,硬着头皮反复啃才能啃下来 ,看了才知道,哪...
评分评价此书为“一部让人痛苦而着迷的知识巨作”,说他是巨作,不是因为字数多(33万字),而是内容太宏大,横跨科学、人文、社科、伦理、宗教,威尔逊为这些原本独立而专业的孤岛,构建起一座座融通的桥梁,最后收归人类存在的意义,博大精深又妙趣横生。 之所以说阅读此书是痛苦...
评分历史上某些杰出人物,多才多艺的程度,直教人五体投地。文艺复兴时期的达·芬奇,俨然一个时空穿越者,信手涂鸦都是走在医学前沿的解剖学、组织结构学抑或身后百年才有的机械设计图;二十世纪的爱因斯坦面对自己的非凡成就,只感慨倘非如此,他一定是个杰出的小提琴演奏家;当...
评分读书笔记401:知识大融通 对于学科的细分,老先生提出了反对意见。他更认同启蒙时代学者们的观点,他相信所有学科,无论是社会科学还是自然科学,文化艺术都是共同的,可以融合的。以前的学者试图去找寻那个终极,而现在,老先生调侃了当今的学术界。 成书其实挺早上个世纪末期...

An enormous intellectual adventure. In this groundbreaking new book, the American biologist Edward O. Wilson, considered to be one of the world's greatest living scientists, argues for the fundamental unity of all knowledge and the need to search for consilience--the proof that everything in our world is organized in terms of a small number of fundamental natural laws that comprise the principles underlying every branch of learning. Professor Wilson, the pioneer of sociobiology and biodiversity, now once again breaks out of the conventions of current thinking. He shows how and why our explosive rise in intellectual mastery of the truths of our universe has its roots in the ancient Greek concept of an intrinsic orderliness that governs our cosmos and the human species--a vision that found its apogee in the Age of Enlightenment, then gradually was lost in the increasing fragmentation and specialization of knowledge in the last two centuries. Drawing on the physical sciences and biology, anthropology, psychology, religion, philosophy, and the arts, Professor Wilson shows why the goals of the original Enlightenment are surging back to life, why they are reappearing on the very frontiers of science and humanistic scholarship, and how they are beginning to sketch themselves as the blueprint of our world as it most profoundly, elegantly, and excitingly is.
这本书值得欣赏。intellectual mastery要求太高了暂且不提EOW数学真的差啊。朴素的阅读心得如下:知识本不应该人为划分切割,由此带来的狭隘会极大制约人的思维(很简单的事情需要花费大把青春来理解) 作为个体我们需要奋力保持对人和世界的认知和观察力以及健康的人格和情感。万物静观皆自得,四时佳兴与人同。看惯悲喜交加让人寂寞..寂寞能让人明朗通达,冷静也不乏温情.体会人性怡悦爱意流连..人的知识比所谓的专业知识更重要吧。
