  • 傲慢的猿:人類真的比較優秀嗎?打破人類例外論為何至關重要

    The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters

    Translated by 唐澄暐 ...
    Series series 鷹之眼
    當我們以人類的尺度衡量其他物種時,優越感便在不知不覺中產生那條區分人與萬物的界線一旦被視為理所當然我們失去的,不只是對萬物的理解,而是與它們之間的連結這本優美的著作,讓我們拋下使人盲目的自尊,以及衡量萬物的錯誤尺度重新喚起我們與地球和所有生命的聯繫這部作品熱情洋溢地頌揚了在生命世界面前的謙卑,引領我們對其他物種——以及我們自身——有了全新的理解。達爾文認為人類是生命之網的一部分,而非自然階級制度的頂端。然而,如今許多人卻認為,我們是有史以來最聰明、最有德行、最成功的物種。這種錯誤的思考方式使我們能夠為了自己的目的而開發地球,最終導致地球陷入危險的失衡。但這種觀點和生活方式真的難免嗎?《傲慢的猿》表明,人類例外論是一種意識形態,它更依賴人類文化而非生物學特性,更依賴妄想和信仰而非證據。哈佛大學靈長類動物學家韋伯多年來致力於研究我們現存近親豐富的社會、情感和認知生活 ...
