具体描述

Like most of us living in the West I have have pondered this question from time to time. Why did the west come out in front, and will it last? Should we all start learning Chinese? And was it inevitable - were Westerners more open-minded, or harder working, or were we just super-lucky to have had the industrial revolution? Or was it simply the work of exceptional people such as Julius Caesar, James Watt or Columbus?

Morris looks at this from a different angle. He uses an index of social development to analyse how societies have risen and fallen (including energy capture, organisation/urbanisation, war-making and information technology). But most importantly he tells a brilliant story of global history. It's a big book, but it has to be, to cover its full scope.

Part history, part archaeology, part geography, part biology and part sociology it is the work of a real polymath. It's incredibly readable too, beginning with a terrific fantasy of how things might have been. I didn't agree with all of it but it's still the best history book I've read this year. You may guess that I felt stongly about this book.

作者简介

Ian Morris teaches classics, history, and archaeology at Stanford University. Born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1960, he now lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California. He has directed excavations in Greece and Italy, and has published 11 books and more than 80 articles. His most recent book, "Why the West Rules--For Now: The Patterns of History, and What They Reveal About the Future" (Profile Books, 2010), tells the stories of East and West across 15,000 years, from the final days of the Ice Age into the 22nd century, explaining why the West came to dominate the rest--and what will happen next. His next book, called "War! What is It Good For?" will look at war from prehuman times to our own, making two controversial claims--first, that war has helped humanity as well as harming it; and second, that war is now changing out of all recognition.

读后感

东西方文明的大分流,是学界至今争论不休的话题。概括起来,分“长期决定派”和“短期决定派”。 在长期决定派看来,西方超越东方是历史的必然,这是西方文化的根性所决定的,伟大的马克斯•韦伯和汤因比都倾向于这个观点,按这个理路,除彻底放弃东方文明,或仅仅把它变成...

《西方将主宰多久(Why the West rule-for now)》读后感 这是本很有趣的书,尽管其学术思想并不怎么专业,但在历史比较领域,也算是一枝奇葩。我从3月25日开始读这本书,到3月30日完成全书的3/4,中间因为陪大哥游玩及随之而来的清明假期而基本没有看,到今天一口气看完了,也...

1.假装公正客观,自编了一套毫无科学性的所谓评分体系。 2.偷换概念。好家伙,从埃及、巴比伦到波斯,他把地球上几乎所有的辉煌文明都纳入西方范畴,只为在与东方中国的评分中获得几乎全胜的战绩。又是一个中国pk全世界的故事。 3.掩耳盗铃。可惜与中华文明比拼强大的生命力,...

A very good history book that put East on par with West

评分

人在生物学、社会学意义上并无区别,只是地理上的差异决定了东西方文明出现的早晚、发展的快慢和成长路径的不同。 然而,文明的演进存在相同的模式,其中最重要的是中心——边缘的互动关系,正是它推动社会发展的螺旋式上升。 似乎涵盖了The Prisoners of Geography和Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow两本书所探讨的领域,而且对未来的预见同后者一样灰暗。

是一本非常客观的历史书,从外国人眼里看整个中国的衰落。其实一切不是偶然,必然发生的,总在等待一个契机然后推波助澜酿成如此的局面。喜欢看故事的,那此书并不适合你。但如果你想看一个多角度历史的,请来看看此书。

评分

很难在一本书上能够同时看到对东西方历史如此详尽的分析,这本书在一定程度上做到了,可能观点并不算很新颖,在我看来好像是杂陈了各家的观点一样,不过分析和史实的介绍还是很有独到之处
