对比一下各种学科,发现自然科学与技术在单个问题上的理论最少,对于人类已知的问题往往一个理论就解释了,接下来是社会科学,在接下来是人文艺术。离人越近的问题,越是人产生的问题,人们越容易随意解释乃至胡说八道,产生公说公有理,婆说婆有理的情况。很高兴看到越来越多...
评分人性善恶的问题也算是道德心理学的探讨范畴,关于人性的善恶问题,大致有如下几种观点:性善论、性恶论、混合论、白板说。这几种论点也不难理解。性善论认为人性本质上是善良的,孟子就持此观点;性恶论认为人性本质上是败坏的,基督教就秉持这种伦理;混合论认为人性本性既有...
评分【曾小媛读书营·一年100本】14-善恶之源 人生来既有善也有恶,关键在于社会环境、教育、自我发展等等对善恶的教化程度,才让人分化出了好人与坏人。 当我们面对他人给予我们的恶时,大部分人会选择等待时机报复回去,也包括我,因为我们不是圣人,也并非佛祖。佛常说放下屠刀...
评分 评分这本书的作者保罗·布鲁姆,是当年公开课流行的时候,我在 Coursera听的第一门课《耶鲁大学的心理学导论》的主讲人,当时就超喜欢那个又帅又聪明的教授。这回翻开他的书,一种时空错乱感扑面而来,结伴而来的还有三个字,他!胖!了!…… 善恶之源是个很有关注度的话题,人性...

From John Locke to Sigmund Freud, philosophers and psychologists have long believed that we begin life as blank moral slates. Many of us take for granted that babies are born selfish and that it is the role of society—and especially parents—to transform them from little sociopaths into civilized beings. In Just Babies, Paul Bloom argues that humans are in fact hardwired with a sense of morality. Drawing on groundbreaking research at Yale, Bloom demonstrates that, even before they can speak or walk, babies judge the goodness and badness of others’ actions; feel empathy and compassion; act to soothe those in distress; and have a rudimentary sense of justice.
Still, this innate morality is limited, sometimes tragically. We are naturally hostile to strangers, prone to parochialism and bigotry. Bringing together insights from psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Bloom explores how we have come to surpass these limitations. Along the way, he examines the morality of chimpanzees, violent psychopaths, religious extremists, and Ivy League professors, and explores our often puzzling moral feelings about sex, politics, religion, and race.
In his analysis of the morality of children and adults, Bloom rejects the fashionable view that our moral decisions are driven mainly by gut feelings and unconscious biases. Just as reason has driven our great scientific discoveries, he argues, it is reason and deliberation that makes possible our moral discoveries, such as the wrongness of slavery. Ultimately, it is through our imagination, our compassion, and our uniquely human capacity for rational thought that we can transcend the primitive sense of morality we were born with, becoming more than just babies.
Paul Bloom has a gift for bringing abstract ideas to life, moving seamlessly from Darwin, Herodotus, and Adam Smith to The Princess Bride, Hannibal Lecter, and Louis C.K. Vivid, witty, and intellectually probing, Just Babies offers a radical new perspective on our moral lives.
某种意义上更像是对Haidt Moral Foundation Theory 的补充本,直到最后一章作者强调reason的重要性时才让我片刻跳脱了这个想法。内容比标题所表达的更为广泛。
评分有点凌乱,Paul Bloom的talk更有意思
评分He—re we go, blurring the edge between cognitive science and moral philosophy. unsurprisingly useless. Slight issue with methodology and lab design.
评分写得还蛮有趣,很多详尽的例子,发现了托福听力里经常出现的婴儿实验╯▽╰婴儿对一个东西感兴趣就会盯得时间比较长,通过这个你就可以推测很多事情,比如小婴儿能不能分出猫和狗(≧▽≦)/
评分几个lunch break翻完了,没特别惊艳。好读是真的。
