商品描述

A Buddhist monk and esteemed neuroscientist discuss their converging--and diverging--views on the mind and self, consciousness and the unconscious, free will and perception, and more.

Buddhism shares with science the task of examining the mind empirically; it has pursued, for two millennia, direct investigation of the mind through penetrating introspection. Neuroscience, on the other hand, relies on third-person knowledge in the form of scientific observation. In this book, Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk trained as a molecular biologist, and Wolf Singer, a distinguished neuroscientist--close friends, continuing an ongoing dialogue--offer their perspectives on the mind, the self, consciousness, the unconscious, free will, epistemology, meditation, and neuroplasticity.

Ricard and Singer's wide-ranging conversation stages an enlightening and engaging encounter between Buddhism's wealth of experiential findings and neuroscience's abundance of experimental results. They discuss, among many other things, the difference between rumination and meditation (rumination is the scourge of meditation, but psychotherapy depends on it); the distinction between pure awareness and its contents; the Buddhist idea (or lack of one) of the unconscious and neuroscience's precise criteria for conscious and unconscious processes; and the commonalities between cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation. Their views diverge (Ricard asserts that the third-person approach will never encounter consciousness as a primary experience) and converge (Singer points out that the neuroscientific understanding of perception as reconstruction is very like the Buddhist all-discriminating wisdom) but both keep their vision trained on understanding fundamental aspects of human life.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一位佛教僧侶和一位受人尊敬的神經科學家討論他們在心智與自我、意識與潛意識、自由意志與知覺等方面的交集與分歧觀點。

佛教與科學共同承擔著經驗性地檢視心智的任務；它已經追求了兩千年，通過深入的內省來直接調查心智。另一方面，神經科學依賴於以科學觀察形式的第三人稱知識。在這本書中，受過分子生物學訓練的佛教僧侶馬修·里卡爾（Matthieu Ricard）和傑出的神經科學家沃夫·辛格（Wolf Singer）——親密的朋友，持續進行著對話——提供了他們對心智、自我、意識、潛意識、自由意志、認識論、冥想和神經可塑性的看法。

里卡爾和辛格的廣泛對話展現了佛教豐富的經驗發現與神經科學大量實驗結果之間的啟發性和引人入勝的交流。他們討論了許多其他主題，包括反思與冥想之間的區別（反思是冥想的禍害，但心理治療依賴於此）；純粹覺知及其內容之間的區別；佛教對潛意識的觀念（或缺乏觀念）與神經科學對意識和潛意識過程的精確標準；以及認知行為療法與冥想之間的共通點。他們的觀點有所分歧（里卡爾主張第三人稱的方法永遠無法將意識視為主要經驗）也有所交集（辛格指出，神經科學對知覺作為重建的理解與佛教的全辨識智慧非常相似），但兩者都專注於理解人類生活的基本面向。
