In a frank and unpretentious series of letters addressed to a teenage granddaughter, this highly original book teaches us to know and understand the world we live in and its rules, and how to behave in it. In these thirty letters, Alan Macfarlane answers his granddaughter's questions about how the world works, how it got to be as it is, what it could be, and where she fits in. Lily's enquiries range from the intimate, personal and moral to the political, social and philosophical. What is the nature of good and evil? What is religion? How can I be truly me? Is right and wrong the same wherever you are? What is beauty? Does there have to be torture? Does money matter? Is knowledge always good? What is progress? What is truth? What is sex? Is democracy a good idea? These are just a few of the questions. In responding to Lily's challenging problems, Alan Macfarlane, from a lifetime's experience as a historian, anthropologist and teacher, ranges through history and across the world's cultures. Her questions are timeless. His answers add up to a classic.

評分聽說是本中學生就能讀懂的書,於是就開始津津有味地讀瞭起來。個人覺得,麥剋法蘭老前輩對整個英格蘭的詮釋,直達政治、宗教及哲學等各個領域,雖然涉及領域廣,但其詼諧幽默的口吻娓娓道來,讀起來很暢快,值得一讀。
評分好久前看過的書瞭,在商務書局涵芬樓買的。 今天是國際兒童圖書日,想起推薦下這本書,裏麵的觀念我們被灌輸長大的這幾代人未必知道和思考過...
評分商務版,一英國劍橋professor的,翻譯文筆亦好,不忍釋捲.對理解中西文化差異,理解英格蘭深厚的人文精神傳統,理解中國等東方文明的不足,大有益處,年輕人讀起來也很有趣.
評分世間的不平等——性彆、年齡(老年、小孩)、人種、姓氏、學曆、傢庭、關係、階層等等,人們還會尋求、發明更多,去給支配者提供理由。其實,沒有什麼係統(物理的、文明的)不是建立在差異之上,但差異卻不應被固化,否則就變成瞭不平等。因此,階層的較自由的流動,諸如...

Love comes from self-sacrifice and tolerance.It comes from not expecting too much, not reliving in our children our failures and insufficiencies.【進度1/3】
評分Nations are constructed and deconstructed. There is nothing or given about them.They are imagined, invented concepts and there is no British nation, no English nation,except in our imagination.

評分Candid truth about how he thinks the world works, explaining to his granddaughter in a humorous and witty way. This copy of mine was gifted by the author himself whom and whose wife Derek and i had the pleasure to meet and spend time with.
