Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence. For most of history, war, slavery, infanticide, child abuse, assassinations, pogroms, gruesome punishments, deadly quarrels, and genocide were ordinary features of life. But today, Pinker shows (with the help of more than a hundred graphs and maps) all these forms of violence have dwindled and are widely condemned. How has this happened?

This groundbreaking book continues Pinker's exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture of an increasingly nonviolent world. The key, he explains, is to understand our intrinsic motives- the inner demons that incline us toward violence and the better angels that steer us away-and how changing circumstances have allowed our better angels to prevail. Exploding fatalist myths about humankind's inherent violence and the curse of modernity, this ambitious and provocative book is sure to be hotly debated in living rooms and the Pentagon alike, and will challenge and change the way we think about our society.

《人性中的善良天使们(Angels)》这本书旨在打破一种认为二十世纪充满了战争与毁灭的 “今不如古” 的错觉,并为暴力的在漫长历史中的总体下降趋势寻找诸原因。作者指出这种错觉其实是由于心理因素引起的:为未来占卜凶兆的人总是能博得更多眼球,我们总是现实地看待现在,并...

过去,我们问:“为什么人们会打战?”平克教授认为,现在,我们应当问:“为什么我们可以有和平?以及如何使和平得以持续下去?” 非常厚的一本书,花了好几个月才读完,启发甚大。
