A QUESTION OF VALUES: SIX WAYS WE MAKE THE PERSONAL CHOICES THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES (REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码： 04332806B03404

English Summary/英文概要： This revised and updated edition explores the often conflicting value systems that compete for our attention. It defines and compares six major mental modes shedding new light on how we know and believe what we know. Wide-ranging, yet very readable, on one level it functions as a kind of catalogue of alternative value systems from which to choose. On another level it explores how and why people choose the values they do. Why does one person become a Mother Teresa and another a Saddam Hussein? Also addresses the question of moral education in school.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 相互矛盾的价值体系总会竞相博取人们的注意，而本书作为一个改编后的更新版，正是致力于探究这样的一些价值体系。全书主要定义并比较了六种主流精神模式，这六种精神模式从全新的角度阐明了我们的认知途径以及信仰归属。本书内容渊博却又适宜阅读，从某种意义上而言，它犹如一本目录集，其中充满了各式各样的价值体系以供我们选择。但从另一种层面上而言，它深入探究了人们选择某一特定价值观念的方式和原因所在，例如一个人是如何成为了一名特蕾莎修女一般的人物，而另一名则变成了萨达姆•侯赛因一样的人。书中同样提出了关于学校中的道德教育问题。（DC）

刘易斯基于对各种真理的认知基础上提出了用以定义和评估个人价值体系的构架体系，并独立出六个各具特色的体系，分别建立在权威、推理逻辑、科学、感官体验、直觉以及情感的基础上。刘易斯并未具体分析个体究竟为何特别钟爱某一种模式，也未分析个体的钟爱方式，他尝试在以上各类模式发生时，去具体观察其在个体和社会环境中的作用方式。经过审慎的评估后，他得出结论没有某一种单一的类别就单纯适用于某一人群，绝大多数人均收到了许多不同模式的影响。一本优秀的有关于个人道德和价值观养成的书籍应该涵盖有可用来进行深入探究的课堂笔记。----简•凯勒尔，瓦列•费德来画廊，芝加哥版权1990，里德商业信息公司。---本段文字不属刊印版本之列。

“Enlightening, thought-provoking and well-written” -- M. Scott Peck

From Library Journal

Proposing a framework for defining and evaluating personal value systems based on various perceptions of truth, Lewis isolates six characteristic systems grounded in authority, deductive logic, science, sense experience, intuition, and emotion. Rather than analyzing how or why individuals favor one particular style, Lewis attempts to examine these systems as they occur in observations of individuals and society. He is careful to point out that no single category necessarily applies to each individual: most have "cross-fertilized" a number of styles. A good primer on personal ethics and values that includes classroom notes for further discussion. - Jean Keleher, Wally Findlay Galleries, Chicago Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
