具体描述
An enormous intellectual adventure. In this groundbreaking new book, the American biologist Edward O. Wilson, considered to be one of the world's greatest living scientists, argues for the fundamental unity of all knowledge and the need to search for consilience--the proof that everything in our world is organized in terms of a small number of fundamental natural laws that comprise the principles underlying every branch of learning. Professor Wilson, the pioneer of sociobiology and biodiversity, now once again breaks out of the conventions of current thinking. He shows how and why our explosive rise in intellectual mastery of the truths of our universe has its roots in the ancient Greek concept of an intrinsic orderliness that governs our cosmos and the human species--a vision that found its apogee in the Age of Enlightenment, then gradually was lost in the increasing fragmentation and specialization of knowledge in the last two centuries. Drawing on the physical sciences and biology, anthropology, psychology, religion, philosophy, and the arts, Professor Wilson shows why the goals of the original Enlightenment are surging back to life, why they are reappearing on the very frontiers of science and humanistic scholarship, and how they are beginning to sketch themselves as the blueprint of our world as it most profoundly, elegantly, and excitingly is.
作者简介
The biologist Edward O. Wilson is a rare scientist: having over a long career made signal contributions to population genetics, evolutionary biology, entomology, and ethology, he has also steeped himself in philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences.

工具和框架固然重要，但缺少了可以联结的信息，架构是不会起作用的。 告诉你模型更重要的牛人，往往默认了一个前提条件：你的脑中要有足够丰富的知识积累。 因为，他们早就过了这个阶段。 要想学习，首先必须保持“无知”，我们要做的是：保持提问的热情、少套用现成的答案，发...
评分杨新美 有没有一门学科综合了自然科学、社会科学及人文科学这三大领域？有，社会生物学！ “从宏观的角度来看，人文学科以及社会科学将缩小为生物学里的特化的分支；历史、传记及小说，则是人类行为学的研究报告；至于人类学和社会学加起来，也只不过构成单一一种灵长...
评分《知识大融通》，美国哈佛大学生物学教授爱华德・威尔森写于一九九八年的颇富企图心的著作，让他从昆虫学家跃上当代思想家的地位。少有科学家胆敢尝试步出他们终身钻研的狭窄专业领域，涉入其他较陌生的学术领域。威尔森教授却不然。他从蚂蚁分类学的专业小领域，一次次开拓...
评分It may be unfair to rate the book with only four stars, which probably it deserves five. However, some months ago, I changed my rating mechanism, where the books that faithfully achieve what it aims for get five stars. Edward has done an amazing work that p...
评分读这本书是痛苦并快乐着。 快乐是因为初看书名，在这个信息爆炸的时代，出于功利主义，被关键词“知识”加“融通”吸引。以为可以获得一种融汇跨界知识的方法论。 痛苦是因为书真的太专业， 许多章节都要看十分钟书，百度二十分钟，硬着头皮反复啃才能啃下来 ，看了才知道，哪...

《社会生物学》作者又一扛鼎之作
评分这本书值得欣赏。intellectual mastery要求太高了暂且不提EOW数学真的差啊。朴素的阅读心得如下：知识本不应该人为划分切割，由此带来的狭隘会极大制约人的思维（很简单的事情需要花费大把青春来理解） 作为个体我们需要奋力保持对人和世界的认知和观察力以及健康的人格和情感。万物静观皆自得，四时佳兴与人同。看惯悲喜交加让人寂寞..寂寞能让人明朗通达，冷静也不乏温情.体会人性怡悦爱意流连..人的知识比所谓的专业知识更重要吧。
