The Cosmic Serpent pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A personal adventure, a fascinating study of anthropology and ethnopharmacology, and, most important, a revolutionary look at how intelligence and consciousness come into being.
This adventure in science and imagination, which the Medical Tribune said might herald "a Copernican revolution for the life sciences," leads the reader through unexplored jungles and uncharted aspects of mind to the heart of knowledge.
In a first-person narrative of scientific discovery that opens new perspectives on biology, anthropology, and the limits of rationalism, The Cosmic Serpent reveals how startlingly different the world around us appears when we open our minds to it.
" The Cosmic Serpent is a spellbinding, scholarly tour de force that may presage a major paradigm shift in the Western view of reality." --Michael Harner, Ph.D., president, Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and author of The Way of the Shaman
Fascinating story. But a bit disappointed with the inconclusive ending.
评分读再多科学、哲学的“死书”,都比不上喝一次死藤水带来的幻象让人灵魂颤抖,我想作者也是十分有勇气抛弃多年的“科学训练”带来的滤镜来写这本书:他认为全世界创世神话都分享的母题,以缠绕的双链蛇代表生命之本质(比如延续至今的医院、救护车上的赫耳墨斯之杖caduceus,以及我能想到中国的蛇身伏羲女娲),是萨满们在致幻物质下影响看到的DNA。之前读Campbell的神话比较学,我对蛇的跨民族普世崇拜(并且总是与生命树、智慧联系在一起)也感到很baffling. “灵长类对蛇在进化过程中刻入DNA的恐惧”这个理论也不太说得过去,因为对蜘蛛的恐惧并没有催生出蜘蛛崇拜。总之这本书的内容是形而上学的范畴,也无法实证,但有助于开阔眼界,可试着放松一下对纯理性的、materialist的世界观的执著。
评分由书写体系构建的现代科学知识建立在是否可以被检验的基础上;以口述传授的雨林萨满的知识与现代科学的研究方法背离,但它就不构成知识吗?
评分自然界中一切生命体功能的自觉和精确性都是绝妙而令人感动的 我们都被赋予了神性
