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.
从进化心理学角度看冥想、佛学很有趣。不过出版商起这个书名未免有点过,作者本人并没这么狂妄。Robert Wright 和 Sam Harris 都成功地印证了灵修和科学可以兼容。这本书作为冥想、西方佛学入门书很合适。特别那些对冥想不屑一顾的人尤为合适,比如我。
评分have to put into a review...
评分这本书有点名不符实,作者所说的science更多是从个体体验的角度提出所谓的心理模块假设,并没有涉及任何验证环节。 实际上近年来的确有不少研究表明不同类型的Meditation(奢摩他或毗婆舍那)会对皮质层,交感神经等产生不同的影响。内观在心理治疗方面的应用研究也有不少,但目前这种on purpose的mindfulness和佛学的内观还是有很大差异,本质上和书名关系不大。 能上畅销榜的书,的确不能奢求有多深刻,作为mindfulness的入门读物还是值得一看。
评分一点小进步:发生口角的时候能在某个时候闭嘴了,让对方打完输出。
评分好看好看!在Psychology的理论部分和上半年读的Kurzban关于Modular Mind的书有很多重合,读起来毫不费力。Coursera上的Buddhism and Modern Psyhology一课也是本书很好的primer。
And a nonfiction is only as good as its base assumptions and evidences. Unfortunately, this book, a detailed and expansive deliberation on author's Buddhism and Modern Psychology class content, is written in a pure bestselling book style: Lay out conclusion...
评分有段时间挺认同,“做人最重要的就是开心”,当然,能让自己开心的还包括了关爱别人等等:出发点虽自私,效果却可能正面。 后来知道了,这是功利主义。而康德说,尊崇功利主义的人是不自由的;事情的衡量标准,除了为你带来的功用”utility“,还有人心中的“道德律”。只是…....
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...
评分看过很多所谓的科学与佛学之间的牵扯文章,当时看了很热闹,回头想想,都是扯蛋的文章,其实佛学本来是相当简单的,大部分都是关于如何实操的,对于宇宙啊、哲学啊,佛陀本人是不感兴趣的,他的核心的理论都是为了一个目的:灭苦。玄而有玄的文章,实际上离真正的佛学远之又远...
