If in the year 1411 you had been able to circumnavigate the globe, you would have been most impressed by the dazzling civilizations of the Orient. The Forbidden City was under construction in Ming Beijing; in the Near East, the Ottomans were closing in on Constantinople. By contrast, England would have struck you as a miserable backwater ravaged by plague, bad sanitation and incessant war. The other quarrelsome kingdoms of Western Europe - Aragon, Castile, France, Portugal and Scotland - would have seemed little better. As for fifteenth-century North America, it was an anarchic wilderness compared with the realms of the Aztecs and Incas. The idea that the West would come to dominate the Rest for most of the next half millennium would have struck you as wildly fanciful. And yet it happened. What was it about the civilization of Western Europe that allowed it to trump the outwardly superior empires of the Orient? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, was that the West developed six 'killer applications' that the Rest lacked: competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the work ethic. The key question today is whether or not the West has lost its monopoly on these six things. If so, Ferguson warns, we may be living through the end of Western ascendancy. Civilization takes readers on their own extraordinary journey around the world - from the Grand Canal at Nanjing to the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul; from Machu Picchu in the Andes to Shark Island, Namibia; from the proud towers of Prague to the secret churches of Wenzhou. It is the story of sailboats, missiles, land deeds, vaccines, blue jeans and Chinese Bibles. It is the defining narrative of modern world history.

读后感
六个杀手锏，六个主题，呈现出文明的决定因素，决定着未来文明所属。 1：竞争：集权的中国与竞争的欧洲 2：科学：欧洲科学如何超越阿拉伯世界 3：财产权：新世界与自由 4：医学：医学如何保障欧洲崛起与扩张 5：消费：消费社会的诞生 6：新教伦理：享受时光与中国的耶路撒冷 ...
评分Austria 和 Australia 看错了我也忍了；译者一点对历史的敏感度都没有，实在是基础教育打得太差。 上下文已经提示了，把A国和普鲁士和俄国并列提出来。稍有感觉的人也能知道这是奥地利吧？？！！
评分西方陷入了焦虑。这种焦虑既来自对反恐战争漫无尽头的不满，也来自对非西方国家迅速崛起的担忧。去年美国信用评级下调，欧洲债务危机加剧，而中国和其他“金砖”国家持续推动着全球增长。据高盛公司预测，2027年中国的经济规模将超过美国，尽管前者的人均收入仍低于后者。与美...
评分文明的6大杀手锏 《文明》书中列举了西方文明为何能在近五百年超越东方的六个关键词：竞争、科学、财产权、医学、消费社会、工作伦理等。 用我们熟悉的马克思主义，概括为两个优势：生产力优势，生产关系优势。 生产力优势包括；竞争、科学、医学。 生产关系优势包括：财产权、...
评分英国著名哲学家罗素曾通过其名著《西方的智慧》向世人展示了一幅哲学思想层面的西方史全景图，可是却遭人质疑：全书没有给东方的智慧留一席之地，意即该书无处不在充斥着对西方文化的夸耀和赞叹。在罗素看来，东西方两个世界是在互相隔绝的情况下各自发展的，因此，就西方思想...
用户评价
历史分析方法值得借鉴，但是对于中国的分析和西方文明的崛起总结过于程式化。
评分今年寒假虎平要是还给大家推荐书，这本书绝对是在书单上的了。第一章里说南京在1420年是全球最大的城市，人口在50万至100万之间。
评分书中总结的六点还是很到位的：竞争、科学、法制（产权）、现代医药、消费主义（以消费为中心的商品社会）、敬业和专业（新教伦理）。每一点的论证都具象化为与另一个非西欧国家的对比，同时将这六点穿插在整个近现代史的叙述中。每次看历史都能感受到自己的渺小，对人世间的苦难更加感同身受。不足在于有偏向性的表述方式，大概社会科学的分析都很难完全摆脱主观的意识形态吧。
评分Blikist扫过。不算新鲜的六大元素主导了西方这几个世纪来的主导地位：竞争精神（地缘政治导致的日常战火催生装备升级&资本主义）、科学实证原则（read bible on your own led a rise in literacy&printing)、representative gov based on property rights&rule of law,当代医学、消费主义、清教徒思想:work hard&save money. 没有特别新鲜的概念，有几条感觉是为了凑字数，比如当代医学完全可以归入科学中去。其实核心就是地缘政治和第三条，然而这恰恰是华人文化无法照搬的。
