Book cover of 失控的同理心︰道德判斷的偏誤與理性思考的價值
by 保羅.布倫(Paul Bloom)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: August 31, 2017

★耶魯最受歡迎心理學大師,線上開放課程突破30萬人次 ★cousera.com全球開放課程最熱門的講師 ★最新社會心理學論述,顛覆你我對和諧人際的認知 當同理心變成理盲濫情,當周遭充斥正義魔人與網路公審…… 我們不只要有同理心,更要講道理 人往往依偏好選擇同理對象、用暴力發洩同理情緒,你以為同理心可以讓世界變得更美好?事實也許沒有那麼簡單! 我們對各種社會事件的反應深受同理心的影響,也就是我們能夠站在別人的立場,感受他人的感受的能力。多數人都認為同理心是善行和道德的驅動力。我們往往覺得,同理心的唯一問題,就是同理心不夠。 但在本書中,作者要帶我們檢視所謂的同理心到底是什麼。它可以是讓人快樂的來源,也是人際關係很有價值的一面。它可以驅使我們去做好事。但整體而言,它卻不是一個好的道德指引。 同理心怎麼會讓我們做錯呢?簡單地說,同理心是將關注焦點放在眼前一群特定的人。我們比較關心他們,卻對自己行為的長期後果無感,也對那些我們無法同情者的遭遇盲目。同理心是帶有偏見的,會把我們推往狹隘或種族主義。它也可能引起暴力,我們對和自己比較親近者的同理心,往往會導致戰爭或敵意。它也會讓我們的情感耗竭。 同理心會蒙蔽我們的眼睛,讓我們在公共政策和各種關係中,做出不符合道德的選擇,或受情緒主導而無法將利益最大化。同理心其實是一種反覆無常且非理性的情感,很容易受偏見所誤導。它會打亂我們的判斷,反而導致殘酷的行為。 本書提出許多開創性的科學證據,主張個人或國家許多錯誤的決定,從要捐錢給誰到決定要不要開戰,從如何因應氣候變遷到要把誰關進牢裡,常常是受情感所驅動。若把同理心拿掉,說不定我們的決定會更清楚、更公平且更符合道德。 究竟同理心為什麼會影響我們的判斷與行為? 首先,是選擇性。世上的苦難何其多,為何我們只關心或特別關心某些事件?這是媒體報道覆蓋率和「可辨識受害者效應」(identifiable...
