Professor Harari was born in Haifa, Israel, to Lebanese parents in 1976. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is now a lecturer at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He specialized in World History, medieval history and military history. His current research focuses on macro-historical questions: What is the relation between history and biology? What is the essential difference between Homo sapiens and other animals? Is there justice in history? Does history have a direction? Did people become happier as history unfolded?
Prof. Harari also teaches a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled A Brief History of Humankind.
Prof. Harari twice won the Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality, in 2009 and 2012. In 2011 he won the Society for Military History’s Moncado Award for outstanding articles in military history.
In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet turns to the present to make sense of today's most pressing issues.
How do computers and robots change the meaning of being human? How do we deal with the epidemic of fake news? Are nations and religions still relevant? What should we teach our children?
Yuval Noah Harari's 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today's most urgent issues as we move into the uncharted territory of the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.
In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari builds on the ideas explored in his previous books, untangling political, technological, social, and existential issues and offering advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? How should we deal with the threat of terrorism? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?
Harari's unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.
80後以前的中國人知道“大曆史”這三個字,絕大多數是源於華人曆史學傢黃仁宇。曾幾何時,一本《萬曆十五年》是令無數國人打開雙眼的燈盞,那種以小見大、縱橫捭闔的論述方式影響之大,不僅在於啓迪瞭無數的後來者,甚至限製瞭後來幾十年中一般人對於曆史及其闡述的普通認知。 ...
評分個體之於群體永遠是支離破碎的。構成個體的組分有很多,比如生命物質、個體經驗、反應模式等,但對於群體來說,個體在群體中的數據纔是一個個個體之於群體的存在意義。平時我們說“個體構成群體”實際上並不並準確——一群智人站在一起不能構成社會,因為社會第一不是實體,第...
評分最近看完瞭尤瓦爾·赫拉利的簡史三部麯中的最新的一本《今日簡史》,和前兩本一樣,語言幽默流暢,有很多值得思考的觀點,可讀性很強。雖然這本書花很大篇幅討論瞭許多當下時事,但我更感興趣書中關於人類社會近期未來的討論,尤其是和自己密切相關的——未來的工作和兒童的教...
評分繼《人類簡史》、《未來簡史》之後,以色列曆史學傢赫拉利又推齣新作《今日簡史》。與之前兩本的寫法類似,赫拉利依然展現瞭他旁徵博引的廣博知識以及身為曆史學傢,組織材料來論證觀點的專業功力。在《今日簡史》中,他探討瞭西方主流政治體製在新時代可能遭遇的問題,而引發...
評分writing真好
评分和前兩本差距有點大,沒有縱嚮參考係的當下的事確實最難寫啊
评分其實終結於禪修冥想挺好的...
评分個人覺得先讀這本入門,再讀sapiens和homo deus比較好。內容有重閤的部分但不多,這本什麼都說一點,另外兩本再往不同角度深挖。很想見見作者,問問他對未來中國的看法。
评分整本書感覺還是太空洞. 很多小essays串起來的, 質量參差不齊, 有的章讀起來還算有趣 (例子好). 講瞭半天最後收斂到瞭meditation這種玄乎的東西上麵瞭, 也沒拿齣個辦法. 叫做*lessons*太過瞭. 也許適閤科普給中小學生看看...
