'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind.

In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.

文/曼佳 最近一直被人推荐《人类简史》这本书,一个70后的以色列历史学家写的风靡全球的著作。全书讲的是人类的故事,从历史又是从哲学的角度,讲述人从生物学的起源是什么样的,从宇宙的哪里来,要到未来的哪里去的故事,这样的书,是要很安静的环境和很安静的心才能好好读完...
评分 评分《人类简史》已经不算是一本新书了,我也早早就买下,但却读不下去,当时我根本就懒得谈这本书,因为写得非常一般。让我纳闷的是,这本书在坊间的评价极高,和我的观感大相径庭,当时也没太当回事,也许我水平高呢。直到前些日子,万维刚在他的专栏力捧这本书。万维刚是我的偶...
评分智人发明出了许许多多的想象现实,也因而发展出许许多多的行为模式,而这正是我们所谓“文化”的主要成分。等到文化出现,就再也无法停止改变和发展,而这些无法阻挡的变化,就成了我们说的“历史”。于是,认识革命正是历史从生物学中脱离而独立存在的起点。在这之前,所有人...

This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
如果一切都是人类想出来的,会让我对民主、公正、自由之类的词语感受不同吗?我想不会,因为“想”正是进化给予人类最珍贵的礼物之一,而“想”所创造的东西,哪怕不具备实体并且内涵如流沙般变动,也不因此而变得不重要。
评分看完了,末章催生了一股压抑与难受,难以排解。
评分intriguing&inspiring
评分前19章充满洞见,几乎每一章都很有趣,都很让人启发。但最后一张关于人类未来的描述很倒胃口,让人很不舒服。无论如何,这本书让我重拾了自读 Guns, Germs and Streels 以来的惊喜,甚至超越了我原以为无法超越的后者!"Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?"
评分非常有洞见有信息量(aka很啰嗦)的书 很多全新的角度打开智人的历史,很多观点还待慢慢消化 最后一章人类远景看得我心惊肉跳是我infer了吗 以及作者语言一流要学习一个
