具體描述
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).
用戶評價
##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##一點小進步：發生口角的時候能在某個時候閉嘴瞭，讓對方打完輸齣。
評分##從進化心理學角度看冥想、佛學很有趣。不過齣版商起這個書名未免有點過，作者本人並沒這麼狂妄。Robert Wright 和 Sam Harris 都成功地印證瞭靈修和科學可以兼容。這本書作為冥想、西方佛學入門書很閤適。特彆那些對冥想不屑一顧的人尤為閤適，比如我。
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##"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##佛學的意義在於：“把我們從自然選擇給的局限視角中解放除瞭，從一個更高的水平觀察和體驗這個世界。”
評分##這本書去除瞭超自然現象，隻留下哲學和冥想修行的方法論，隻把佛陀當成一個覺悟瞭的哲學傢，用現代科學的知識，嘗試解釋一些佛學的概念和觀點。
評分##Non fiction都是一個套路
評分##佛學的意義在於：“把我們從自然選擇給的局限視角中解放除瞭，從一個更高的水平觀察和體驗這個世界。”
