In this provocative, revelatory tour de force, Jesse Prinz reveals how the cultures we live in - not biology - determine how we think and feel. He examines all aspects of our behaviour, looking at everything from our intellects and emotions, to love and sex, morality and even madness. This book seeks to go beyond traditional debates of nature and nurture. He is not interested in finding universal laws but, rather, in understanding, explaining and celebrating our differences. Why do people raised in Western countries tend to see the trees before the forest, while people from East Asia see the forest before the trees? Why, in South East Asia, is there a common form of mental illness, unheard of in the West, in which people go into a trancelike state after being startled? Compared to Northerners, why are people in the American South more than twice as likely to kill someone over an argument? And, above all, just how malleable are we? Prinz shows that the vast diversity of our behaviour is not engrained. He picks up where biological explanations leave off. He tells us the human story.

COGS011 Chap 1 就算这书不是给professional audience的作者也给了cultural psychology很不错的贡献
评分断断续续地看完所以记不得之前很多的论述证明内容…有点混乱…信息量太大了…后期看得有点累…前面对nature的一些反驳实在是…太强悍…但看多了就怎么觉得作者对nature方面的试验有点太苛刻啊？nurture难道追溯各国文化历史就可以了吗…#By nature , we transcend nature

评分买的paperback，纸张太差，作者发型很酷，作为普及读物行文有些啰嗦，可以学学好朋友Churchland奶奶。
