The Ideological Brain: The Radical Science of Flexible Thinking

內容簡介

內容簡介 《衛報》&《每日電訊報》年度最佳書籍為什麼有些人會變得激進？意識形態如何塑造人類大腦？我們怎樣才能將我們的思想從有害的教條中解放出來？《意識形態的大腦》一書中，Leor Zmigrod 揭示了政治信念與大腦生物學之間的深刻連結。她的開創性研究揭示了生物學和環境之間的複雜相互作用，這種相互作用導致部分人們的思維方式變得僵化，並解釋了意識形態如何控制我們的大腦，從根本上改變我們的思維、行為和與他人互動的方式。她展示了各種類型的意識形態者(強烈支持某些理論或政治信念的人)，在面對新訊息時如何努力改變自己的思維模式，因而得出一個激進的訊息：我們的政治觀不如表面看起來那麼簡單，它其實交織在我們思想的結構中。這是一部權威、簡單易懂、充滿趣味、融合了心理學、政治學和哲學研究的作品，探索了政治神經科學這一新興領域的前沿。Zmigrod 首先研究了意識形態歷史根源，並在她的研究中加入更廣泛的社會和政治影響因素。她透過實驗引導讀者，呈現一個自由、真實、寬容的大腦的樣貌，並解釋了如何在極端主義意識形態面前保持開放和靈活的想法。Named a best book of the year by The Guardian and The TelegraphWhy do some people become radicalized?How do ideologies shape the human brain?And how can we unchain our minds from toxic dogmas?In The Ideological Brain, Leor Zmigrod reveals the deep connection between political beliefs and the biology of the brain. Drawing on her own pioneering research, she uncovers the complex interplay between biology and environment that predisposes some individuals to rigid ways of thinking, and explains how ideologies take hold of our brains, fundamentally changing the way we think, act and interact with others. She shows how ideologues of all types struggle to change their thought patterns when faced with new information, culminating in the radical message that our politics are not superficial but are woven into the fabric of our minds.This authoritative, accessible and playful blend of psychology, politics and philosophy explores the cutting-edge of the emerging field of political neuroscience. Zmigrod examines its historical roots before she looks to the future, considering the broader social and political implications of her groundbreaking research. Guiding readers through her experiments, she eventually describes what a free, authentic, and tolerant brain looks like, and explains how anyone can keep their mind open and flexible in the face of extremist ideologies.

各界推薦

各界推薦 "An extraordinary, eye-opening, and startlingly original book, showing what ideology does to the human brain, and casting a bright new light on the sources and nature of dogmatism, ideology, and open-mindedness. Packed with insights, this is a remarkable achievement." ―Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard University and author of Decisions About Decisions"Filled with insightful findings, this book shows that ideological extremism and polarization are not just problems to fret about but puzzles that can be studied and understood." ―Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and author of Rationality"Fascinating, insightful, lucidly and entertainingly written, Zmigrod’s account illuminates the debate about the nature of ideology and the power it exerts, by bringing cognitive neuroscience–in fact, an intriguing development of it: ‘political neuroscience’–to bear on both. An educative, rewarding, troubling, but ultimately hopeful, book." ―A. C. Grayling, author of The History of Philosophy"Leor Zmigrod’s hotly awaited debut. . . uses new research to show that polarized thinking isn’t something that just floats through the mind: it changes our entire neural architecture." ―The Telegraph"Zmigrod reveals the science behind dogma and shows us how to nurture cognitive flexibility instead." ―The Guardian
