平克用最朴素的看数据、摆事实、讲道理的方法,全面地分析了我们这个“最好的时代”到底进步在了哪; 同时也用熵、进化、信息等科学原则和心理学理论揭露了“最坏的时代”这类言论是怎样地混淆视听、罔顾事实。 今天,相对主义早已成为知识分子模糊自身立场的方法论,然而作者却...
评分那是一个再普通不过的夜晚,我躺在床上,打开了这本书,仅仅是看完了前两页,我就忍不住分享内心的兴奋,向身边的男朋友喊到:这本书太适合我了!简直是量身为我定制! 说完我就继续埋头看书了。直到看完这本书,我不得不说,它正是我一直以来寻找的那本书。 理性,科学,人文...
评分一 我记得有一个称呼,叫“文科傻妞”。意思是,这些妞缺乏最基本的逻辑思维能力。这刚好对应最近有一个人表示,是那些文科生没有思考能力被人忽悠支持香港。很不幸,我现在搞社会学,也是一个文科傻X,但是不是妞。我忍不住停下来想,我是一个男的和女的有什么区别?无异,平...

评分很难想象,如今我们竟然要为“理性、科学、人文主义和进步”寻找例证。很长时间以来,这些稳固的价值观定义了我们的现代生活。多数人都以为,抨击这些价值观的人来自极端右翼分子:他们是进步主义的敌人、是反科学宗教运动的先锋、是封闭心智的代表。然而,史蒂芬·平克(Steve...

The follow-up to Pinker’s groundbreaking The Better Angels of Our Nature presents the big picture of human progress: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science.
Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing.
Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature–tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking–which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.
With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.

评分有些书难读,但是读下来还是能学到一些东西,所以还是值得。这本书文字流畅,但是看完没觉得有什么收获,最多算鸡汤,太长,所以是特大的一锅鸡汤!作者对现状太乐观,数据的选择让人生疑。以后盖茨推荐的书要等一段时间再读,水分太多。
