为什么值得读
- 破除人性自私好斗等根深蒂固的有毒偏见
- 用真实案例推翻《蝇王》式的虚构人性寓言
- 深入剖析人性善意并帮助走出对人类的悲观
历史学家 Rutger Bregman 在其书中探讨了人性的本质。与西方传统思想的预设不同，Bregman 认为人性并非本恶，恰恰相反：人性本善。若以此为前提，我们便能以一种全新的、根本上乐观的视角来审视世界与生活在其中的人类。在他这部文笔生动、极具说服力的著作中，Bregman 提出了改善世界的构想。这些构想兼具创新与勇气，最重要的是带来了希望。

……很多。《蝇王》（Lord of the Flies）完全出自一个英国学监的臆想。然而，它却作为一个人性警世寓言渗透进了我们的文化。它百分之百是虚构的。我想推荐 Rutger Bregman 写的《Humankind》——一本拆解我们对自己那些有害叙事的绝妙好书。
…a lot. Lord of the Flies came out of the fantasy of an English superintendent. Yet, it has permeated our culture as a cautionary tale about human behavior. It is 100% fiction. I’d like to recommend Humankind by Rutger Bregman - a wonderful book dismantling the toxic narratives we have about ourselves.
我甚至都还没读完，但我 2021 年最爱的书肯定非 Rutger Bregman 的《Humankind》莫属了。如果你因为气候变化、COVID 等等原因对人类这个物种感到愤世嫉俗，这本书可能正好就是你需要的。
I haven't even finished it yet, but my favorite book of 2021 is certain to be Rutger Bregman's Humankind. If you are feeling cynical about your species thanks to climate change, COVID, etc. it may be exactly what you need.
这个故事在 Rutger Bregman 的《Humankind: A Hopeful History》一书中有很好的剖析。TL;DR：事实证明在现实世界中，根本没发生过任何类似《蝇王》的事；实际上发生的反倒恰恰相反。顺便强烈推荐 Bregman 的这本书，它击碎了……
This story is examined nicely in Rutger Bregman's book Humankind: A Hopeful History. TL:DR; It turns out that in the real world, nothing like the Lord of the Flies happened; in fact the opposite happened. Highly recommend Bregman's book, by the way, which shoots…
> 人类天生不好和平 我直到最近读完 Rutger Bregman 的《Humankind: A Hopeful History》之前也一直这么认为。多棒的一本书啊……Bregman 分析了为什么我们普遍认为人类天生不好和平，以及这种假设是如何变成一种自证预言（self-fulfilling prophecy）的。但是……
> Humans are not peaceful by nature I also believed this until recently when I finished reading "Humankind: A Hopeful History" by Rutger Bregman. What an amazing book ... Bregman analyzes why we commonly believe that humans are not peaceful and that this assumption turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy. But…
引人入胜，但也令人不安（《利维坦》……讲得太有道理了）。与之针锋相对的是 Rutger Bregman 写的既有趣又乐观的《Humankind: A Hopeful History》[0]，我快读完了。它当然有缺点，尤其是作为科学家批判性地审视其中某些研究时，但关于人类的整体主旨……
Fascinating, and also troubling (Leviathan...that makes too much sense). A counter point to that is the intriguing and optimistic Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman [0] that I am finishing now. It certainly has it faults, especially as a scientist taking a critical view of some of the research, but the overall message of humans…
很高兴看到这里的社区基本上把霍布斯（Hobbes）当成“反派”。我想推荐一下 Rutger Bregman 写的那本非常好看的书——《Humankind》[0]。在书中，作者探讨了两位重要哲学家之间的分歧——一边是霍布斯，另一边是卢梭。前者的大体观点是“人是坏的，需要被约束”，……
Happy to see that community here mainly considers Hobbes to be "a villain". I'd like to point to the very enjoyable book by Rutger Bregman - Humankind[0]. In it, the writer discusses the differences between two important philosophers - Hobbes on one side and Rousseau on the other. First one has a general idea that "people are bad and need to be contained",…
