具体描述

Why does the West rule? In this magnum opus, eminent Stanford polymath Ian Morris answers this provocative question, drawing on 50,000 years of history, archeology, and the methods of social science, to make sense of when, how, and why the paths of development differed in the East and West — and what this portends for the 21st century.

There are two broad schools of thought on why the West rules. Proponents of "Long-Term Lock-In" theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor— geography, climate, or culture perhaps — made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of "Short-Term Accident" theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present, and future— in a way no one has ever done before.

历史总能给人以展望未来的启示。然而不同的人看到不同的历史，由之而来的启示也各自不同。说实话，如果你想从历史中找到某些规律和教训来支持你对未来的规划，你几乎总能找到的。西风压倒东风成功者如果不清楚自己是怎么成功的，那他将很难复制这一成功；而失败者如果不清楚...

东西方文明的大分流，是学界至今争论不休的话题。概括起来，分“长期决定派”和“短期决定派”。在长期决定派看来，西方超越东方是历史的必然，这是西方文化的根性所决定的，伟大的马克斯•韦伯和汤因比都倾向于这个观点，按这个理路，除彻底放弃东方文明，或仅仅把它变成...

春节期间看完了这本书的中文版，译者钱峰，书名为《西方将主宰多久——从历史的发展模式看世界的未来》。说实话，译笔真的很一般，仅从书名的翻译就可以看出一二。 WHY THE WEST RULES FOR NOW，直接译过来就是“为什么现在统治世界的是西方”，副标题The Patterns of History ...

《西方将主宰多久（Why the West rule-for now）》读后感这是本很有趣的书，尽管其学术思想并不怎么专业，但在历史比较领域，也算是一枝奇葩。我从3月25日开始读这本书，到3月30日完成全书的3/4，中间因为陪大哥游玩及随之而来的清明假期而基本没有看，到今天一口气看完了，也...
