  • 時間怪獸：被歷史塑造的大英帝國進步假象

    Time's Monster: How History Makes History

    de 普莉亞．沙蒂婭, Priya Satia ...
    Traducido por 苑默文 ...
    《新政治家》（New Statesman）年度好書振聾發聵的道德之聲～人文學科的亂世警鐘當歷史宛如時間怪獸吞吐讓人混淆的謊言，本書痛快地揭開沾满了弱勢者鲜血的真相！人們認為歷史必然是一個進步的故事，而這種信念把我們帶到了災難的邊緣。史家之筆不只記錄過往，同時也在「塑造」現在與未來……歷史為何會成為大英帝國合理化征服與侵略的藉口？好幾個世代以來，英國的思想家們都在講述大英帝國的歷史，時至今日，英國仍有近半民眾認為，帝國的過往象徵某種光榮。在帝國主義早已被唾棄的現代，大英帝國為何仍舊得以保有正面評價？本書作者普莉亞．沙蒂婭認為：史家們的歷史寫作，正是造成此結果的原因。她一一檢視近代英國諸多赫赫有名的人物，像是湯瑪斯．潘恩、埃德蒙．柏克、詹姆斯與約翰．彌爾父子，及溫斯頓．邱吉爾等等，犀利的點出他們一方面讚揚英國的自由民主，一方面又為帝國擦脂抹粉，正當化帝國主義的殖民暴行 ...

    16 hora 45 minutos

    For generations, British thinkers told the history of an empire whose story was still very much in the making. While they wrote of conquest, imperial rule in India, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean was consolidated. While they described the development of imperial governance, rebellions were brutally crushed. As they reimagined empire during the two world wars, decolonization was ... Leer más

  • 戰爭憑什麼：從靈長類到機器人的衝突與文明進程

    War! What Is It Good For?: Conflict and the Progress of Civilization from Primates to Robots

    de 伊安‧摩里士 ...
    Series series 黑盒子
    戰爭如何改變我們的社會？《西方憑什麼》作者對戰爭史博學精深且具挑戰性的探索　　賈德．戴蒙：「伊安．摩里士將重大歷史化為有趣易懂的章節，確立了自己的大師地位。」　　戰爭究竟會帶來什麼？在這本熱情洋溢、妙趣橫生，涵蓋歷史學、考古學、人類學、地理學、演化生物學、技術與軍事學說的傑作裡，著名歷史學家和考古學家伊安．摩里士回顧人類史上15000年戰爭驚悚、扣人心弦的故事，超越了戰鬥與殘暴，進而揭示戰爭對世界的真正影響。　　戰爭往往是慘絕人寰、令人深惡痛絕，反戰神曲〈戰爭！〉唱道：「戰爭！……戰爭好在哪？一點都不好。」然而，摩里士在本書中引用了歷代學者與哲學家廣泛而大相逕庭的觀點，並提出了獨特且令人信服的論點，揭示戰爭實際上改變了我們的世界。從考古學、歷史學和生物學的角度來看，就某方面而言戰爭其實對人類有所助益。石器時代的人生活在狹小、爭鬥的社會中，有十分之一到五分之一的機會死於暴力；相形之下 ...
