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.
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.
最近读《知识大通融》,看到 “博物学也由此被确认为真正的科学”这句话时,突然一愣,先是觉得这个认定可能有问题,然后想去反驳的时候又发现,对于到底什么是科学我也一直没个概念。所以我就上网查了查,结果五花八门的回答反而让我更加疑惑了。 百度百科对科学的定义是“分...
评分 评分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《论契合——知识的统合》我认为是一本高层次的跨领域大作! 《论契合》的三联中译本争议颇多;然而好书就是不会被埋没,哪怕是蹩脚的翻译,我还是因此从阅读中译本当中收益良多!这不得不佩服自己的这点“从垃圾中找黄金”的能耐了!呵呵! 话说回来,为了汲取原书的精华及真...

《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。
