其實你沒有你想的那麼善良︰一堂關於品格的哲學思辨課

Description

你是發自內心做好事，還是為了符合期待或避免尷尬？ 你是真心不騙，或者只是缺少機會又怕被逮到？? 好人與壞人並非絕對，真實品格往往跟不上理想道德！ 人來人往的購物商場，老人突然心臟病發倒地，周圍的人視若無睹，醫護趕到時已無力回天；兩歲女孩被貨車撞成重傷，至少十八名過路者棄她於不顧，導致她後來又被卡車輾過。 上述案例真實發生。怎麼會這樣？好人在哪裡？那些人怎麼會這麼冷血？這就是本書要回答的問題。 作者以哲學辯證方式，引領讀者思考品格是什麼，以及為什麼我們需要發展好的品格。書中藉由大量心理學實驗，呈現人類為善做惡背後的動機︰同理心被激發、道德提示、迷人香氣、甚或只是剛從廁所走出來，都會讓我們更願意做好事；權威者施壓、旁觀者效應，或者只要報酬比風險大、看起來不會被逮到，我們可能就會做出可怕的事。 ?我們對自己與他人的品格想像經常是錯的，本書將帶你認識真實自我與道德理想之間的落差，同時告訴你怎麼做可以變成更好的人，以及如何避免以道德苛責他人或道德造神。 【各界讚譽推薦】 ☆看見內心深處各式各樣的想法，也就看見了真實的自己。看清了自己，也就更能看清眾人……活得真實，就能精彩。那是一種內心自由的解脫，也是一種幸福的喜悅。這本書能夠協助你，完成這樣的一場生命蛻變。 ——冀劍制，華梵大學哲學系教授 ☆知名德國神學家潘霍華說過，我們討厭在別人身上看到的特質，都能夠在自己身上找到。克里斯蒂安．米勒告訴我們，成就德性之道在於對自己的品德保持謙遜，以及接受他人的缺陷。在需要誠實與寬厚作為解藥的現代社會，這是一本珍貴的寶藏。 ——E.J. Dionne Jr.，美國著名智庫布魯金斯學會資深研究員、喬治城大學講座教授 ☆品格這個主題永恆又及時。在這本論理清楚的書中，克里斯蒂安．米勒指引有興趣的讀者認識品格的現代科學，除了強調其道德層面，也提供實際且有益的建議作為精進品格之用。 ——Angela Duckworth，賓夕法尼亞大學心理學榮譽教授 ☆克里斯蒂安．米勒教授說這不是一本自我成長的勵志書。別相信他。當然，書中沒有許多指示和小技巧，讓你可以神奇似的變成一個更好的人。但如果誠實、自我認識、明辨是非的同理心對道德生活來說很重要，那麼本書對你就會有所幫助。認真想要踏上品格之路的人，都應該隨身攜帶這本書。 ——James K.A. Smith，加爾文學院哲學教授 ☆一本充滿洞見的書，匯集各式研究資料，由通透理解品格的克里斯蒂安．米勒教授寫就。想要對品格的重要性有不同理解與詮釋的人都必須一讀。 ——James Arthur，英國伯明翰大學品格與美德中心主任? 出版社 商周出版 (城邦)
