The book s chatty style lends a deceptive simplicity to the ideas within. Get to work unpicking theseconcepts and it soon becomes plain that, like many French philosophers, Mr Badiou sacrificesclarity for linguistic zip and sparkle. Nonetheless, he leaves the reader with an incisiveoverview of philosophical thinking on love, from Plato to Kierkegaard to Lacan.
该书的闲谈式风格会让人误以为:书中的思想都很简单。先得摒弃掉这些观点,之后,明显可以看到,巴迪欧与许多法国哲学家一样,追求的不是清晰明确,而是语言上的表现力与闪光点。不过,对于从柏拉图到克尔凯郭尔再到拉康关于爱的哲学思想,他的概述可谓鞭辟入里。
Robin Dunbar s book, The Science of Love and Betrayal, isperhaps surprisinglyeasier toget to grips with. Dr Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary anthropology with a study in thisweek s science section , is best known for Dunbar s number, the limit to thenumber of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. He laments thatscientists have largely ignored the concept of love. In this book he bridges the gap betweenthe biological explanations for humans romantic behaviour and the psychological,historical, social and evolu- tionary contexts that help to shape it.
罗宾邓巴的新书《爱与背叛的科学》更容易理解,或许这有点令人惊讶。邓巴博士是进化人类学的教授,本期科学专栏刊登了一篇他的研究。令他广为人知的是邓巴数字,即一个人最多可以拥有的稳定社交关系的人数。他感到惋惜的是,科学家几乎忽略了爱的概念。生物学上对人类浪漫行为做出了解释,这与有助于塑造这种行为的心理,历史,社会,及进化因素本毫无关联,但在该书中,他将两者联系了起来。
