The world may be more driven by murderous violence than ever before, yet Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen argues in this sweeping philosophical work that its brutalities are driven as much by confusion as by inescapable hatred. Sen argues in his new book that conflict and violence are sustained today, no less than the past, but by the illusion of a unique identity. Indeed, the world is increasingly taken to be divided between religions (or 'cultures' or 'civilizations'), ignoring the relevance of other ways in which people see themselves through class, gender, profession, language, literature, science, music, morals or politics, and denying the real possibilities of reasoned choices.In "Identity and Violence", he overturns such stereotypes as the 'the monolithic Middle East' or 'the Western Mind'. Through his penetrating investigation of such subjects as multiculturalism, fundamentalism, terrorism and globalization, he brings out the need for a clear-headed understanding of human freedom and a constructive public voice in Global civil society. The world, Sen shows, can be made to move towards peace as firmly as it has recently spiralled towards war.

評分一句话概括:单维的身份划分如何产生暴力。 读后感: “即使我们对历史进行一次随意审视,便会发现我们人类有一种不断地犯同一种错误的悲哀倾向。我们害怕与我们稍有差别的陌生人或其他人。当我们害怕的时候,我们就开始摆布别人。我们有随时可以被利用的情感系统,当这些...

評分第一个书评传不上去,估计说错话了。没心情再重写了。 每个行为的背后都有一些身份起作用,把这些身份归类分析也许是个很有意思的是,我们有那些身份?父亲,丈夫,儿子,中国人,职员,佛教徒,异性恋者••••••
