圖書描述

Why does the West rule? In this magnum opus, eminent Stanford polymath Ian Morris answers this provocative question, drawing on 50,000 years of history, archeology, and the methods of social science, to make sense of when, how, and why the paths of development differed in the East and West — and what this portends for the 21st century.

There are two broad schools of thought on why the West rules. Proponents of "Long-Term Lock-In" theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor— geography, climate, or culture perhaps — made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of "Short-Term Accident" theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present, and future— in a way no one has ever done before.

用戶評價

評分☆☆☆☆☆

宏大視野，從人類的角度思考問題。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

讀到的第一部parallel比較東西方文明進程的著作，清晰直觀。雖然作者最後得齣的由biology,soical, climate,geography共同決定文明走嚮結論略顯平常，但他在文中分析東西方文明幾次興衰的成因以及它們如何突破特定ceiling score的方式非常有信服力（尤其是放在整個世界觀背景下比較討論）。比如15-16世紀歐亞大陸遊牧民族的式微以及steppe走廊的關閉使得東西方文明穩定性大幅提高，地理因素決定瞭跨大西洋經濟帶的形成以及工業化時代必然於西方興起，這些觀點都比較新穎。有機會一定要再讀讀本書的中文版，深化影響。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

有細菌槍炮與鋼鐵珠玉在前，此書地位難免要低一點，但是仍然值得好好讀。寫得太長，陸陸續續用瞭我好幾個月時間纔看完，減一個星。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

Morris基本上是將地理決定論和生物學/社會學串在一起，提供瞭Needham問題一個大曆史跨度的解釋。很難說有太大振聾發聵的新思路，但數據和史料運用紮實、行文流暢優雅，確實是學界backbone類型的中堅力量。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

作者的寫作風格真是風趣幽默，即使是這樣比較嚴肅的話題也能聊的妙趣橫生。
