This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
The Animal that Became a God.
評分前19章充滿洞見,幾乎每一章都很有趣,都很讓人啓發。但最後一張關於人類未來的描述很倒胃口,讓人很不舒服。無論如何,這本書讓我重拾瞭自讀 Guns, Germs and Streels 以來的驚喜,甚至超越瞭我原以為無法超越的後者!"Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?"
評分中英文兩本一起讀的,從春節放假開始,到後來上班很忙一星期隻能讀幾頁,於是前後花瞭差不多兩個月纔讀完。信息量巨大,在作者淺顯的敘述和簡單的例子中終於重新認識和理解瞭中學歷史課上怎麼都聽不懂的人類的過去,也結閤瞭自己親身經歷的這三十年來的種種,陷入無限的哲學思考和心理學反思中。
評分it has been ten years, for the reappearance of my indulgence
評分此書采用“大曆史”的寫法,避開具體的曆史事件和曆史人物,直接剖析人類各發展階段的本質,“驚人”結論應接不暇,不少讀者高呼過癮。但近年來不斷走俏的大曆史類圖書往往容易犯以偏概全的錯誤,隻顧著拋結論、上概念,舉例論證僅僅走個形式。比如本書論證農業時代的人類不如采集者生活幸福,比如把個人主義描述為國傢和市場摧毀傢庭和社群的“第五縱隊”等。此書另一大特色是緊緊抓住“虛構”這個概念不放,全書所有觀點都從中生發,顯得高度統一、立場鮮明。雖然人類認知革命始於虛構能力的觀點並非作者原創,但此書貴在一以貫之。從認知革命到想象的秩序,再到各種宗教,最後是想象的共同體,作者始終用“虛構”這個元素解釋人類各個階段的發展變化,形成完整的邏輯鏈條,成為本書利用大量驚人結論發動攻勢之外徵服讀者的另一個原因。
以色列40岁的年轻学者的专著,博学而见解独到。我还从没有读过这样的研究人类历史的书,抛开了过去的所有讲述历史的概念与框架,从7亿年前起,“智人” 通过“认知革命”、“农业革命”、“工业革命”、“科学革命”而成为地球上唯一的、最大的宿主;通过金钱、帝国、宗教建立...
評分老實講,我不知道該怎麼評述《人類簡史》。本書那飽含當代人優越的惡意寫法,讓學術研究淪為地攤貨,令我讀起來十分不悅,但仔細想想,這本書之所以這麼熱門,接受度還特別地高,不就表示普通人愛的就是這種酸來罵去但毫無建樹的「批判」精神嗎? 平心而論,它的確有專業的一面...
