评分不要被这本书的标题愚弄了。在哲学家丹尼尔·丹内特探讨意识的最新大作中,与细菌相关的微乎其微,与巴赫相关的仅有一段简短的插叙。然而,恰如他直言不讳的那样,他热爱头韵,大写字母,以及新词。他也曾写过数本与心灵、意识和进化有关的书,因此我们有理由发问:在这本宣传...

One of America’s foremost philosophers offers a major new account of the origins of the conscious mind.
How did we come to have minds?
For centuries, this question has intrigued psychologists, physicists, poets, and philosophers, who have wondered how the human mind developed its unrivaled ability to create, imagine, and explain. Disciples of Darwin have long aspired to explain how consciousness, language, and culture could have appeared through natural selection, blazing promising trails that tend, however, to end in confusion and controversy. Even though our understanding of the inner workings of proteins, neurons, and DNA is deeper than ever before, the matter of how our minds came to be has largely remained a mystery.
That is now changing, says Daniel C. Dennett. In From Bacteria to Bach and Back, his most comprehensive exploration of evolutionary thinking yet, he builds on ideas from computer science and biology to show how a comprehending mind could in fact have arisen from a mindless process of natural selection. Part philosophical whodunit, part bold scientific conjecture, this landmark work enlarges themes that have sustained Dennett’s legendary career at the forefront of philosophical thought.
In his inimitable style―laced with wit and arresting thought experiments―Dennett explains that a crucial shift occurred when humans developed the ability to share memes, or ways of doing things not based in genetic instinct. Language, itself composed of memes, turbocharged this interplay. Competition among memes―a form of natural selection―produced thinking tools so well-designed that they gave us the power to design our own memes. The result, a mind that not only perceives and controls but can create and comprehend, was thus largely shaped by the process of cultural evolution.
An agenda-setting book for a new generation of philosophers, scientists, and thinkers, From Bacteria to Bach and Back will delight and entertain anyone eager to make sense of how the mind works and how it came about.

写得不好。扯东扯西却没啥说服力。
评分打call
评分整体来说这是一本关于进化、文化、意识、认知方面全面思考的书。有好几个想法,比如competence without comprehesion,很新颖,确实很好地articulate了好几个杂糅在一起的问题。很受益。
评分太啰嗦
评分思路很清晰也很有趣,就是论述太啰嗦(举例简直是灾难,试图幽默地举例是重大灾难)。最后两页的概述很漂亮,想了解大致观点直接读这两页就可以了。
