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

读后感
读书笔记401：知识大融通 对于学科的细分，老先生提出了反对意见。他更认同启蒙时代学者们的观点，他相信所有学科，无论是社会科学还是自然科学，文化艺术都是共同的，可以融合的。以前的学者试图去找寻那个终极，而现在，老先生调侃了当今的学术界。 成书其实挺早上个世纪末期...
评分文/郑渝川 在美国科学家爱德华•威尔逊看来，在信息爆炸、知识过载的时代，要谨防科学发展失却伦理规范和导向，避免在技术创新和大潮中丢弃人类最为宝贵的品质和道德，同样也要防止抛弃科学，因为困惑而拥抱神秘主义甚至重归蒙昧。 长期以来，在普通人眼里，科学界实现的...
评分看到有人试图将自然科学，社会科学，人性加以融合，这目标够让人兴奋的了，一看作者是威尔逊，估计有些看头。 开头讲到启蒙运动中笛卡尔，培根，孔多塞等提倡的各学科的融合，作为启蒙运动历史看看还不错。接下来讲自然科学就被囧到了，原来威尔逊关于知识的融合的答案是还原...
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...

《社会生物学》作者又一扛鼎之作
评分《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。
