人性究竟是利己或利他？瑞德里引用遺傳學、心理學、人類學等領域的新發現，為我們解答「自私」與「互助」現象的矛盾，並點出人類追求更美善社會的發展方向。 就「物競天擇」的觀點而言，物種為求生存，必須自私。 但為什麼人類卻是生存在複雜的社會中，而且表現出充分的合作精神？本書作者麥特．瑞德里是動物學家，也是前《經濟學人》雜誌的編輯。他從不同領域中的近期研究，對存在於「自私」與「互助」間的矛盾，提出可能的解釋。他在本書中旁徵博 引遺傳學、心理學、人類學上的新發現，重新檢視我們在面對他人時，先入為主的的應對觀，無論為人父母、子女或生意夥伴。同時對照螞蟻、狒狒和鼴鼠的社會本能，從我們對政治的了解，提出解釋。 瑞德里除了追溯社會的演化，也指出程式設計、微生物學及經濟學上的突破，對今日人際互動關係的影響。

If, as Darwin suggests, evolution relentlessly encourages the survival of the fittest, why are humans compelled to live in cooperative, complex societies? In this fascinating examination of the roots of human trust and virtue, a zoologist and former American editor of the Economist reveals the results of recent studies that suggest that self-interest and mutual aid are not at...(展开全部)

From the age of Darwin to the present day, biologists have been grappling with the origins of our moral sense. Why, if the human instinct to survive and reproduce is “selfish,” do people engage in self-sacrifice, and even develop ideas like virtue and shame to justify that altruism? Many theories have been put forth, some emphasizing the role of nepotism, others emphasizing the...(展开全部)

Ayn Rand here sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, the philosophy that holds man's life--the life proper to a rational being--as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature, with the creative requirements of his survival, and with a free society. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition.

「所有時代的人，對女性特質的謎，都絞盡腦汁……」焦慮的問題、自此汲取泉源的愛的失落，皆令人將女性特質與最早熟的、最原始的嬰兒特質一起思考，並由此更新這個謎的詞彙。女性的「性」，是其中的什麼，賦予它這個「特權」—以拒絕、以潛抑、以無意識作為代價的特權—去觸及性的起源？女性特質的源頭是什麼？要如何構思嬰兒（而不只是女孩）的女性特質的精神成因？女性幻想由何種再現來建構？作者透過對這些問題所提出的答案，來導出一個與佛洛伊德論點相反的女性特質的理論。
