10 BOOKS THAT SCREWED UP THE WORLD: AND 5 OTHERS THAT DIDN’T HELP
Book ID/图书代码： 11457518C00015
English Summary/英文概要： You’ve heard of the "Great Books"?
These are their evil opposites. From Machiavelli’s The Prince to Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these "influential" books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet these authors’ bad ideas are still popular and pervasive--in fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing it. Here with the antidote is Professor Benjamin Wiker. In his scintillating new book, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World (And 5 Others That Didn’t Help), he seizes each of these evil books by its malignant heart and exposes it to the light of day. In this witty, learned, and provocative exposé, you’ll learn:
* Why Machiavelli’s The Prince was the inspiration for a long list of tyrannies (Stalin had it on his nightstand)
* How Descartes’ Discourse on Method "proved" God’s existence only by making Him a creation of our own ego
* How Hobbes’ Leviathan led to the belief that we have a "right" to whatever we want
* Why Marx and Engels’s Communist Manifesto could win the award for the most malicious book ever written
* How Darwin’s The Descent of Man proves he intended "survival of the fittest" to be applied to human society
* How Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil issued the call for a world ruled solely by the "will to power"
* How Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a kind of "spiritualized Darwinism" that accounts for his genocidal anti-Semitism
* How the pansexual paradise described in Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa turned out to be a creation of her own sexual confusions and aspirations
* Why Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male was simply autobiography masquerading as science
Witty, shocking, and instructive, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World offers a quick education on the worst ideas in human history--and how we can avoid them in the future.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你听说过“伟大的书”吗?
这是他们邪恶的对立面。从马基雅维利的《君主论》到卡尔•马克思的《共产党宣言》，再到阿尔弗雷德•金赛的《人类男性的性行为》，这些“有影响力”的书引发了战争、种族灭绝、极权主义压迫、家庭破裂，以及灾难性的社会实践。然而，这些作者的坏观点仍然很流行，而且无处不在——事实上，它们可能会在你没有意识到的情况下影响你自己的思维。本杰明•威克教授为您带来了解药。在他那本光芒四射的新书《搅乱世界的10本书》(以及其他5本没有帮助的书)中，他抓住了每一本邪恶的书的邪恶之心，把它暴露在阳光下。在这个诙谐，博学，挑衅的揭露中，你会学到:
*为什么马基雅维利的《君主论》激发了一长串暴君的灵感(斯大林在他的床头柜上放了一本)
*笛卡尔关于方法的论述是如何“证明”上帝的存在的，只是通过创造我们自己的自我
*霍布斯的《利维坦》是如何让我们相信，我们有权得到自己想要的任何东西
*为什么马克思恩格斯的《共产党宣言》会获得有史以来最恶毒书籍奖
*达尔文的《人类的起源》如何证明他打算将“适者生存”应用于人类社会
*尼采的《超越善与恶》呼吁建立一个完全由“权力意志”统治的世界
*希特勒的《我的奋斗》是一种“精神化的达尔文主义”，它解释了他的种族灭绝式反犹太主义
*玛格丽特•米德在《萨摩亚的成年》中描述的泛性天堂，原来是她自己的性困惑和性渴望的产物
*为什么阿尔弗雷德•金赛在《人类男性的性行为》中只是伪装成科学的自传
《搅乱世界的10本书》机智、震撼、有教育意义，书中对人类历史上最糟糕的思想——以及我们如何在未来避免这些思想——进行了快速的教育。(WYL)
