The Ten Types of Human: A New Understanding of Who We Are, and Who We Can Be

內容簡介

內容簡介 為什麼人類會傷害人類？又為什麼有些人願意完全無條件地幫助他人？英國人權律師Dexter Dias透過動人的真實故事與最先進的科學研究來回答上述問題。他並且將人類(人性)劃分成10種典型，這十種類型的人類或許就深埋在我們每個人的腦子裡。我們該如何避免作惡，發揚美善？究竟可以成為多好或多惡的人？人的極限又在哪裡？本書以先進的方式檢視人性，探索人類經驗的疆界，挖掘在極端環境下形塑我們想法與行動的原因。書中故事的主角，有人口販子、被迫從事性販賣的人、執行少女割禮的父母們、一群少年兵、還有以利他主義為出發點的拯救者們。透過整合了心裡、哲學與神經科學而成為一門新興科學的"道德認知學"方法，本書給我們啟發，讓我們重新認識自己，最終使我們獲得全然的自由。「做為人權律師，Dias堅信，只要有對的且足夠數量的人嚐試，所有的不公不義、災難、剝削、暴力行為與人類的苦難都可以被挑戰並且被克服。」-《衛報》「The Ten Types of Human是一部精采的作品，結合了驚人的真實生活案例與最新的科學研究，它提供的指南使我們理解我們到底是誰。具啟發性又非常重要。」查爾斯．杜希格(Charles Duhigg)(《為什麼我們這樣生活，那樣工作?》作者)This book will introduce you to ten people. In a way, you already know them. Only you don't - not really. In a sense, they are you. Only they're not entirely. They inform and shape the most important decisions in your life. But you're almost certainly unaware of their intervention. They are the Ten Types of Human. Who are they? What are they for? How did they get into your head? We want to believe that there are some things we would never do. We want to believe that there are others we always would. But how can we be sure? What are our limits? Do we have limits? The answer lies with the Ten Types of Human: the people we become when we are faced with life's most difficult decisions. But who or what are these Types? Where do they come from? How did they get into our heads? The Ten Types of Human is a pioneering examination of human nature. It looks at the best and worst that human beings are capable of, and asks why. It explores the frontiers of the human experience, excavating the forces that shape our thoughts and actions in extreme situations. It begins in a courtroom and journeys across four continents and through the lives of some exceptional people, in search of answers. Mixing cutting-edge neuroscience, social psychology and visceral true stories, The Ten Types of Human is at once a provocation and a roadmap of the hidden parts of us. It is a book to inspire; to refashion our understanding of our many selves and semblances; and ultimately to find fresh ways to be free.
