200年前，珍奧斯汀用小說寫人性 200年後，她的小說就像大腦科學個案全集   文學、心理學與神經科學的迷人混搭，剖析珍‧奧斯汀經典作品與人物， 原來用我們的大腦理解別人，真是一件不單純的事！   珍．奧斯汀為何如此廣受歡迎？我們為何把《傲慢與偏見》讀了一遍又一遍？愛瑪淘氣的計謀為何讓人感到開心？我們又為何在乎《勸服》中安妮．艾略特所受的苦？   我們在乎是因為生物天性讓我們對人、對他們的故事感興趣──人類大腦是社會大腦。奧斯汀的角色非常可信，對於我們許多人來說，他們不只是想像出來的人物，而是我們熟悉並且摯愛的朋友。由於奧斯汀捕捉人類心理寬度與深度的能力如此豐富，讓人覺得她與讀者有共鳴。   人類對於同理心的需求很大，想知道不管喜悅或悲傷我們都不孤單，還有依附、否定、自認，當然也有愛，我們看到自己與周遭之人反映在奧斯汀的作品中。與其他動物相比，社會智力是人類特徵中最為高度發展的一種，這是怎麼演化來的？為何有其價值？溫蒂．瓊斯既是奧斯汀學者，也是一位執業心理治療師，她探索了社會智力的許多方面，與奧斯汀的經典作品放在一起討論。   ‧感覺如何誤導了我們？ 「就算真的陷入情網，我也不該盲目到這種不像話的地步。我已經招來了偏袒和無知，不管提到他們之中哪一位，我都喪失了理智。」──伊莉莎白，《傲慢與偏見》   ‧是什麼賦予我們調節（或者不去調節）情緒的能力？ 「她無能為力，因為她無心克制自己。」──論瑪麗安，《理性與感性》   ‧不帶情緒的知識缺乏信念及力量──情緒教訓每次都能勝過認知教訓。 「我這輩子一直都是個自私的人，表現出來是這樣，儘管原則上不是。從小大人就教我明辨做人的道理，但是沒人要我改正脾氣，人家教我規矩，卻放任我傲慢自大地實行這些準則。」──達西先生，《傲慢與偏見》   ‧心智理論的重要性；誤解他人的危險之處。 「是啦，好人！愛瑪心想，但是這些跟畫人物肖像有什麼關係呢？你根本不懂畫，別裝出那副樣子，好像很著迷我的畫，把你的著迷留到海莉特面前表現吧。」──愛瑪．伍德豪斯誤解了愛爾頓先生的慾望，《愛瑪》   本書絕妙原創、充滿洞見，揉合了文學、心理學與神經科學，瓊斯不僅讓我們有機會用新的方式看待奧斯汀，也讓我們對自己的情感、行為和大腦有更多的理解。 │同感推薦│ ──...
