A provocative history of violence—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Stuff of Thought and The Blank Slate
Believe it or not, today we may be living in the most peaceful moment in our species' existence. In his gripping and controversial new work, New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows that despite the ceaseless news about war, crime, and terrorism, violence has actually been in decline over long stretches of history. Exploding myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly enlightened world.

《The Better Angels of Our Nature》长达800余页,但正如《纽约时报》诸人推崇的一样,这是一本难得的好书。作者Steven Pinker最根本的论调其实并不稀奇:随着社会的发展,人们的生活越来越好,人性中善的一面也越来越闪光,并且覆盖了人性中恶的一面。之后,Pinker花了大量时...
评分关于人道主义革命的起因 十七世纪以来的人道主义革命的起因,一个可能的解释是人们在自己生活改善的同时变得更有同情心了。原来廉价的生命变得越来越珍贵了。这一假说大致符合历史的大潮流,一千多年的时间里,世界一步步摆脱了人祭和酷刑处决等野蛮习俗,也是在这一千多年的时...
评分冷战结束后,塞缪尔·亨廷顿在《文明的冲突与世界秩序的重建》中虚拟了一个“2010年全球战争”,作为对“文明冲突”的直观展示。尽管全球战争没有爆发,“9·11”却似乎印证了他的先见之明。相比之下,斯蒂芬·平克(Steven Pinker)显得比较乐观,他在《人性中的善良天使》中...
评分一本书的副标题很少不取个高大上的名字,但是斯蒂芬·平克的《人性中的善良天使》一书所告诉我们的,确实远远超过“为什么暴力逐渐减少”。平克是哈佛大学心理学教授,最初因《语言本能》(The Language Instinct)一书而广为人知。他在《人性中的善良天使》里谈及我们面对的...
