Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment is a 2017 book by journalist and evolutionary psychologist Robert Wright. As of August 2017, the book had peaked at The New York Times No. 4 bestseller in hardcover nonfiction.
In Why Buddhism is True, Wright advocates a secular, Westernized form of Buddhism focusing on the practice of mindfulness meditation and stripped of supernatural beliefs such as reincarnation. He further argues that more widespread practice of meditation could lead to a more reflective and empathetic population and reduce political tribalism. In line with his background, Wright draws heavily on evolutionary biology and evolutionary psychology to defend the correctness of Buddhism's diagnosis of the causes of human suffering. He argues the modern psychological idea of the modularity of mind resonates with the Buddhist teaching of no-self (anatman).
##所謂mindfulness裏麵,讀過的最靠譜的書 也是到現在為止,和心理學相關的書最好的
評分##是有一點點囉嗦,但經常就以自問自答的方式address瞭我的疑問,非常貼心。是我最能接受的對待冥想的視角瞭。and revelational to me
評分##Non fiction都是一個套路
評分##在Coursera的“佛教與現代心理學”上知道這個作者,結閤進化心理學討論佛法這個路子非常對胃。其實在接觸作者作品以前我就構想過提綫木偶的比喻,現在那個string和puppeteer的真麵目越發清晰瞭。
評分##"When we live without awareness, numb to small delights, we may more easily fall into addictive behavior, as we need increased levels of stimulating sensations, either pleasant or painful, in order to feel alive."
評分##說實話一本有點專業性的,英文讀本對我而言有些太睏難瞭,沒法打分希望會有中文版
評分##好看好看!在Psychology的理論部分和上半年讀的Kurzban關於Modular Mind的書有很多重閤,讀起來毫不費力。Coursera上的Buddhism and Modern Psyhology一課也是本書很好的primer。
評分##人類情緒模式和永不滿足的快樂追求是為瞭基因傳播所做的編碼。整個世界是自然選擇(?)所設定的matrix。腦科學證明沒有自由意誌和自我存在。 佛學的真諦是超越自然選擇設定的個體本位局限性獲得全局視角的自由,色即是空是讓你更「客觀」地看待世界,不被自然選擇造就的本能反應所劫持。 可是人類世界尤其是現代社會,恰恰是由自由意誌的神話和自發生長的森嚴階層構成。佛學作為一種讓人獲得「好心態」和「彆緻視角」的哲學,與世俗邏輯正好相反。
評分##這本書終於被引進瞭!對原版作品久聞大名,一直在等國內中文版的上市。這次終於買到瞭!指北——>《洞見:從科學到哲學,打開人類的認知真相》,Open your mind!
