西方文明的文化基因
By 梁鶴年 Hok-Lin Leung一本人人都能讀懂的西方文明史 在《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》《殺戮與文化》之外，提供新的視角 現代西方的發展模式帶來了高度的物質發展水平，但是不可持續。可是，要改變方向幾乎是不可能的，就像旅鼠上了路，方向是改變不了的。 在這進退兩難之間怎麼辦？ 西方人對天地、對自己、對別人的看法決定了西方文明。 他們「為甚麼」有這些看法？ 這些「為甚麼」，就是支配西方文明的文化基因，也是本書討論的主題。 這些「為甚麼」，與不同的時代心態、民族性格、歷史背景與契機相結合，決定了西方文明的演化。 全書縱觀西方文明的源頭與現實：聚焦希臘、羅馬的理性與猶太、基督信仰的交叉；追索開啟現代文明的理性主義和經驗主義的形成；討論現代西方文明發展的背景；追蹤現代西方主流文化的成功因素；思考西方的未來。 這是一本對西方文明史的精彩回顧之作，史識深刻而暢達，也讓人思考：曾支配了歷史的文化基因，會把西方文明帶到哪裡？中國應如何選擇自己的角色與命運？
