Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment is a 2017 book by journalist and evolutionary psychologist Robert Wright. As of August 2017, the book had peaked at The New York Times No. 4 bestseller in hardcover nonfiction.
In Why Buddhism is True, Wright advocates a secular, Westernized form of Buddhism focusing on the practice of mindfulness meditation and stripped of supernatural beliefs such as reincarnation. He further argues that more widespread practice of meditation could lead to a more reflective and empathetic population and reduce political tribalism. In line with his background, Wright draws heavily on evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology to defend the correctness of Buddhism's diagnosis of the causes of human suffering. He argues the modern psychological idea of the modularity of mind resonates with the Buddhist teaching of no-self (anatman).
Robert Wright is an American journalist who writes about science, history and religion, including The Evolution of God, Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, The Moral Animal, Why Buddhism is True, and Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking for Meaning in an Age of Information. He is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Bloggingheads.tv.
在Coursera的“佛教与现代心理学”上知道这个作者,结合进化心理学讨论佛法这个路子非常对胃。其实在接触作者作品以前我就构想过提线木偶的比喻,现在那个string和puppeteer的真面目越发清晰了。
评分佛学的意义在于:“把我们从自然选择给的局限视角中解放除了,从一个更高的水平观察和体验这个世界。”
评分When we live without awareness, numb to small delights, we may more easily fall into addictive behavior, as we need increased levels of stimulating sensations, either pleasant or painful, in order to feel alive
评分事后诸葛的强行解释,虽然不乏新意。但是方法论是错误的
评分说实话一本有点专业性的,英文读本对我而言有些太困难了,没法打分希望会有中文版
【看到105页想法】 (1)作者很啰嗦,像是在给小朋友讲道理,翻来覆去。难道是因为佛教在美国甚至英语国家普及度不够才会用这样初级的表达方式? (2)关于佛学、心理学及进化论的内容,差不多都是老生常谈。关于冥想的部分对我来说是新知识。但是通过冥想抑制疼痛,听起来怎么...
评分这本书可以称为是科学版“无为”的镜像版——科学版“佛学” 一、苦:快乐是短暂的,痛苦是永恒的 1、佛陀观点:苦即不满足。 2、科学解释:人是基因编码的程序,基因通过对欲望(即对快乐的预期)来驱使人做对基因传播有利的事。欲望满足即为乐,不能满足即为苦。但基因设定快...
评分看破红尘、消极避世、没有感情,已经被现代科学证明这并不是「佛系」。本书通过进化心理学与脑神经科学等现代科学研究,阐释佛学概念的现代意义,为读者提供一种拨乱反正了解佛学真谛,用全新视角看世界的机会。 全书核心概念梳理: 苦 1.“苦”的巴利语,是 dukkha。英文中对 d...

评分1975 年,阿诺德·施瓦辛格陷入了焦虑。 那时的他,是个健美选手,美国加利福尼亚州州长的头衔对他而言,简直遥不可及。这一年,他参加了“奥林匹亚先生”大赛,期待能再次夺得健美冠军,同时,藉由多次冠军的荣誉进军影视圈。作为一个业界新人,他感受到了前所未有的压力...
