Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, pogroms, gruesome punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened?

This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives- the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away-and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.

文 / 徐贲 斯蒂芬•平克的《人性中的善良天使》(下称《善良天使》中译本出版后已经引起了广泛的注意。这是一部议题内容和材料都非常丰富的巨著,也是一部十分值得我们思考和讨论的著作。应该说,这本书的价值并不在于它对暴力下降(主要是“和平进步”)所持的乐观主义,...

从进化心理学的角度来说,所谓善恶无非是人类在漫长的演化过程中为适应生存而筛选出的心理本能。我们谈论人性中善的发扬就要探讨恶是如何被限制的,也就是本书的副标题——暴力为什么会减少。 首先,本书以详实浩繁的资料数据证实了人类社会暴力事件的减少,特别是近几百年甚...

好玩,我們生活在韆萬年來最和平最安全的時代?,人性本善還是本惡呢?有調查纔有發言權

如果用養分衡量圖書,那麼本書簡直就是養分的極緻,裏麵內容好多值得學習有木有。雖然有很多內容重復,而且Pinker的文字又是太繞和太技術流,但總體來說是一本非常好的書,徹底改變瞭我對Pinker的偏見。
