Richard Dawkins, Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science and Fellow of New College, Oxford.
Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands of readers to rethink their beliefs about life.
In his internationally bestselling, now classic volume, The Selfish Gene , Dawkins explains how the selfish gene can also be a subtle gene. The world of the selfish gene revolves around savage competition, ruthless exploitation, and deceit, and yet, Dawkins argues, acts of apparent altruism do exist in nature. Bees, for example, will commit suicide when they sting to protect the hive, and birds will risk their lives to warn the flock of an approaching hawk.
This 30th anniversary edition of Dawkins' fascinating book retains all original material, including the two enlightening chapters added in the second edition. In a new Introduction the author presents his thoughts thirty years after the publication of his first and most famous book, while the inclusion of the two-page original Foreword by brilliant American scientist Robert Trivers shows the enthusiastic reaction of the scientific community at that time. This edition is a celebration of a remarkable exposition of evolutionary thought, a work that has been widely hailed for its stylistic brilliance and deep scientific insights, and that continues to stimulate whole new areas of research today.

我其實是斷斷續續讀過些彆的進化論、基因和進化心理學的流行讀物以後纔看瞭這本經典的。雖然懸念少些,但經典就是經典,每頁都非常值得。 基因和進化論放在一起,完全可以詮釋生命的來龍去脈。這是一個大體上自洽的體係,雖然很多細節還可以不斷完善。Dawkins其實說,隻要是碰...
評分維特根斯坦說語言是哲學最後的領地 因為隻有語言和思維的相互作用暫時還無法用科學的方法來研究 語言是思維的産物,但是反過來又會影響思維 我們現實中很多時候用的是“自私”這個詞,實際上我們想錶達的是“自我”這個意思 比如一個人隻專注於自己的生活,對周圍的人和事...
評分原文自本人新浪博客(http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_538f46f70100hn7s.html),轉載請注明。 豆瓣上文字無格式。 《鼕吳相對論》的梁鼕兩次在節目裏提到瞭他在看這本書。引起瞭我的興趣,於是從圖書館藉來翻瞭一翻。我讀的其實不是左圖這本,是科學齣版社1981年12月的版本...
評分作者理查德·道金斯聲名遠播,是著名的“無神論四騎士”成員,粉絲眾多,我知道寫這篇文章會得罪他的影迷,所以我必須聲明本人也是無神論者,而且對亞伯拉罕一神教厭惡至極,所以本人全力支持道金斯對宗教的批判。但這不等於我認同他所有的觀點,比如這本書,我認為他寫的很爛...
評分自私不是人性的定語 《自私的基因》的作者說過這樣一句話: “我打算在我的《自私的基因》一書之後補寫第二捲,對人類作一些論述。而我發現《美德的起源》一書正與我想象的第二捲的內容一模一樣。” —這句話是他對《美德的起源》這本書的推薦,而這本書正是說人類的閤作本...

20世紀思想史上極少數幾個需要認真對付的觀點之一,這本書對於我本科時代的影響是決定性的
評分補瞭遍英文版,比起自私的基因,meme概念更有趣、
評分Some allegories are so shoddy they're better off gone, and Mr Dawkins does whine too much at times.
評分:無
評分其實一直沒看完,總覺得哪裏不對勁,昨天看到一個詞豁然開朗,這根本就是亞裏士多德式的目的論!!給無生命的東西人為填上意識,即使能自圓其說但是無視客觀事實和論證也就沒有說服力
