图书描述

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.

花了两个多月时间啃完这本英文的大部头，感觉像是研究生修了一门哲学课。观点上其实也不稀奇，简单说就是a smarter world is a less violent world，关键是Pinker对古今各种学术观点和证据的渊博，以及论证的缜密谨严太厉害了，搁在中国这就是钱钟书量级的大学者。我读过文笔好的当代学术大明星，社会学的Steven Pinker，历史的Niall Ferguson，人类学的Jared Diamond，经济学的Paul Krugman，政治学的Francis Fukuyama，生物学的Richard Dawkins，读他们的书感觉就像吃聪明豆，学了什么已经不重要了，纯粹地长智力。

书涉及话题太广，阅读过程中对部分历史内容产生质疑，读完后翻阅了些反方观点，目前也没发现令人信服的，最有意义的批评是认为本书收集和解读数据的方式存在漏洞，因历史数据本身不精确，难以和当前比较。我从来就认为古代社会更暴力（非基于实证的主观感受），质疑的不是书的立意，而在于Pinker是不是夸大了古代社会的暴力。假设这本书的立意是正确的，对于其原因的解释个人是信服的，但Pinker是不是夸大了启蒙运动的作用？毕竟这本书完全是基于西方文化的，也许应该对比东西方（尤其是东亚文化）才能真正从全人类的角度更好的分析这个问题？从个人阅读感受来说，涉及历史的部分，Pinker有过多描述的倾向，论证给我一种不充分不信服感；涉及心理学的部分就好得多，让我满意。考虑到历史不是他的本行，能写到这份上真是博学。

如果用养分衡量图书，那么本书简直就是养分的极致，里面内容好多值得学习有木有。虽然有很多内容重复，而且Pinker的文字又是太绕和太技术流，但总体来说是一本非常好的书，彻底改变了我对Pinker的偏见。
