商品描述

Leading thinkers from a range of disciplines discuss the compatibility of power and care, in conversation with the Dalai Lama.

For more than thirty years, the Dalai Lama has been in dialogue with thinkers from a range of disciplines, helping to support pathways for knowledge to increase human wellbeing and compassion. These conversations, which began as private meetings, are now part of the Mind & Life Institute and Mind & Life Europe. This book documents a recent Mind & Life Institute dialogue with the Dalai Lama and others on two fundamental forces: power and care--power over and care for others in human societies.

The notion of power is essentially neutral; power can be used to benefit others or to harm them, to build or to destroy. Care, on the other hand, is not a neutral force; it aims at increasing the wellbeing of others. Power and care are not incompatible: power, imbued with care, can achieve more than a powerless motivation to care; power, without the intention to benefit others, can be ruthless. The contributors--who include such celebrated figures as Frans B. M. de Waal, Olafur Eliasson, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, and Jody Williams--discuss topics including the interaction of power and care among our closest relatives, the chimpanzees; the effect of meditation and mental training practices on the brain; the role of religion in promoting peace and compassion; and the new field of Caring Economics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

領域內的領先思想家與達賴喇嘛進行對話，探討權力與關懷的相容性。

三十多年來，達賴喇嘛與來自不同領域的思想家進行對話，幫助支持知識的途徑，以增進人類的福祉和同情心。這些對話最初是私下會議，現在已成為心智與生命研究所（Mind & Life Institute）和心智與生命歐洲（Mind & Life Europe）的一部分。本書記錄了最近一次心智與生命研究所與達賴喇嘛及其他人之間的對話，主題圍繞兩種基本力量：權力與關懷——對他人的權力與對他人的關懷。

權力的概念本質上是中立的；權力可以用來造福他人或傷害他們，可以用來建設或摧毀。另一方面，關懷並不是一種中立的力量；它旨在增進他人的福祉。權力與關懷並不相互排斥：充滿關懷的權力能夠實現的成就，超過了無力的關懷動機；而沒有造福他人意圖的權力則可能是無情的。貢獻者包括著名人物如Frans B. M. de Waal、Olafur Eliasson、Sarah Blaffer Hrdy和Jody Williams，討論的主題包括權力與關懷在我們最親近的親戚——黑猩猩之間的互動；冥想和心理訓練對大腦的影響；宗教在促進和平與同情中的角色；以及關懷經濟學（Caring Economics）這一新興領域。
