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.
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.

評分這本書值得欣賞。intellectual mastery要求太高瞭暫且不提EOW數學真的差啊。樸素的閱讀心得如下:知識本不應該人為劃分切割,由此帶來的狹隘會極大製約人的思維(很簡單的事情需要花費大把青春來理解) 作為個體我們需要奮力保持對人和世界的認知和觀察力以及健康的人格和情感。萬物靜觀皆自得,四時佳興與人同。看慣悲喜交加讓人寂寞..寂寞能讓人明朗通達,冷靜也不乏溫情.體會人性怡悅愛意流連..人的知識比所謂的專業知識更重要吧。
