The Origins of Creativity pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Following the extraordinary success of The Meaning of Human Existence, Edward O. Wilson offers a philosophically probing work on the origins of human creativity.
“Creativity is the unique and defining trait of our species; and its ultimate goal, self-understanding,” begins Edward O. Wilson’s sweeping examination of the humanities and its relationship to the sciences. By studying fields as diverse as paleontology, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience, Wilson demonstrates that human creativity began not 10,000 years ago, as we have long assumed, but over 100,000 years ago in the Paleolithic Age. Chronicling the evolution of creativity from primates to humans, Wilson shows how the humanities, in large part spurred on by the invention of language, have played a previously unexamined role in defining our species. Exploring a surprising range of creative endeavors—the instinct to create gardens, the use of metaphors and irony in speech, the power of music and song— Wilson proposes a transformational “Third Enlightenment” in which the blending of science and humanities will enable a deeper understanding of the human condition and how it ultimately originated.
Edward O. Wilson is widely recognized as one of the world's preeminent biologists and naturalists. The author of more than twenty books, including The Creation, The Social Conquest of Earth, The Meaning of Human Existence, and Letters to a Young Scientist, Wilson is a professor emeritus at Harvard University. The winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, he lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.

四十多年过去了,爱德华·威尔逊不用再担心有人往自己的头上浇水了。 要数起威尔逊的头衔和荣誉,会有一大串。美国国家科学奖章、克拉福德奖等等,威尔逊已经出版过100多部作品,真可谓是著作等身,而其中两本获得过普利策奖。同时,他也是450个全新蚂蚁物种的发现和命名者。生...
评分我对Wilson老爷子始终怀有极大的尊敬。他是我们这个时代最后一个博物学家,以其辛辣的洞见,横跨各个学科的博学,和深厚的人文情怀,成为了生物学帝国主义的一面旗帜。我曾经非常开心地看到,他是如何作为一个孤独的骑士,从进化生物学的领域闯入了柔弱的人文学科,撕开她们用...

评分文 / 董小琳 今天我们要聊的主题很大,甚至大到超过了我之前所有的书评。 但是和今天这本书的作者相比,个人捉襟见肘的知识储备真心底气不足。 万维钢老师在解读这本书的英文版时,曾做过一个比喻: 如果说我们平时的看书学习,就像是用杯子往桶里倒水。这样,一杯杯地用知识把...
