具体描述
Robert Wright is an American journalist who writes about science, history and religion, including The Evolution of God, Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, The Moral Animal, Why Buddhism is True, and Three Scientists and Their Gods: Looking for Meaning in an Age of Information. He is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Bloggingheads.tv.
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).
用户评价
##人类情绪模式和永不满足的快乐追求是为了基因传播所做的编码。整个世界是自然选择（？）所设定的matrix。脑科学证明没有自由意志和自我存在。 佛学的真谛是超越自然选择设定的个体本位局限性获得全局视角的自由，色即是空是让你更「客观」地看待世界，不被自然选择造就的本能反应所劫持。 可是人类世界尤其是现代社会，恰恰是由自由意志的神话和自发生长的森严阶层构成。佛学作为一种让人获得「好心态」和「别致视角」的哲学，与世俗逻辑正好相反。
评分##好看好看！在Psychology的理论部分和上半年读的Kurzban关于Modular Mind的书有很多重合，读起来毫不费力。Coursera上的Buddhism and Modern Psyhology一课也是本书很好的primer。
评分##"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."
评分##一点小进步：发生口角的时候能在某个时候闭嘴了，让对方打完输出。
