Paul Bloom is a passionate teacher of undergraduates, and his popular Introduction to Psychology 110 class has been released to the world through the Open Yale Courses program. He has recently completed a second MOOC, “Moralities of Everyday Life”, that introduced moral psychology to tens of thousands of students. And he also presents his research to a popular audience though articles in The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. Many of the projects he works on are student-initiated, and all of them, he notes, are "strongly interdisciplinary, bringing in theory and research from areas such as cognitive, social, and developmental psychology, evolutionary theory, linguistics, theology and philosophy."
The thought of sex with a virgin is intensely arousing for many men. The average American spends more than four hours a day watching television. Abstract art can sell for millions of dollars. People slow their cars to look at gory accidents, and go to movies that make them cry. Pleasure is anything but straightforward. Our desires, attractions, and tastes take us beyond the symmetry of a beautiful face, the sugar and fat in food, or the prettiness of a painting. In How Pleasure Works, Yale University psychologist Paul Bloom draws on groundbreaking research to unveil the deeper workings of why we desire what we desire. Refuting the longstanding explanation of pleasure as a simple sensory response, Bloom shows us that pleasure is grounded in our beliefs about the deeper nature or essence of a given thing. This is why we want the real Rolex and not the knockoff, the real Picasso and not the fake, the twin we have fallen in love with and not her identical sister. In this fascinating and witty account, Bloom draws on child development, philosophy, neuroscience, and behavioral economics in order to address pleasures noble and seamy, highbrow and lowbrow. Along the way, he gives us unprecedented insights into a realm of human psychology that until now has only been partially understood.

評分看瞭Bloom在TED上的講座後找來讀的,非常有趣,甚至可以聯係起伊利亞德關於“顯聖化”的觀點。(2012-01-12)在聽過John Piper的“基督教快樂主義”,看過Poythress從”三一“論的角度看“社會學”,從這本討論“愉悅感”的進化心理學中,竟有許多有益的啓發。(2012-02-13)
評分論證不是特彆嚴謹,寫起東西來還七彎八繞的,但不得不承認作者點齣瞭一個很有趣的問題:本質主義(essentialist)和快樂的關係——為什麼和名人握過手後會捨不得洗手?為什麼知道自己珍藏多年的傢寶是贋品後會被挫敗感打擊?我覺得這個和“本質”沒什麼關係,意義的投射罷瞭,但這種投射的確和欣悅、幸福以及快樂聯係在一起。這個領域值得一探。
