英文简介:
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution–from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality–and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation.
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike–either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike.
Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts.
David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals.
Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself.
Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what’s really there.
If humans did not spend 95 percent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume.
The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society.
This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision, and a faith in the power of direct action.
Includes Black-and-White Illustrations
中文简介:
纽约时报畅销书 对人类历史的全新理解，挑战我们对社会进化的最基本假设——从农业和城市的发展到国家、民主和不平等的起源——并揭示人类解放的新可能性.几代人以来，我们遥远的祖先都被塑造成原始和孩子般的形象——要么是自由平等的无辜者，要么是凶残好战的人。
我们被告知，文明只能通过牺牲那些原始的自由，或者通过驯服我们卑鄙的本能来实现。
David Graeber 和 David Wengrow 展示了这些理论是如何在 18 世纪首次出现的，作为对土著观察家和知识分子对欧洲社会提出的强有力批评的保守反应。
重温这一遭遇对我们如何理解当今的人类历史具有惊人的意义，包括农业、财产、城市、民主、奴隶制和文明本身的起源。
作者利用考古学和人类学方面的开创性研究，展示了一旦我们学会摆脱概念的束缚并了解那里的真实情况，历史将如何变得更加有趣。
如果人类过去 95% 的进化时间不是花在一小群狩猎采集者身上，那么他们一直在做什么？如果农业和城市并不意味着陷入等级制度和统治，那么它们导致了什么样的社会和经济组织？答案往往出乎意料，并表明人类历史的进程可能不像我们想象的那样一成不变，而是充满了有趣、充满希望的可能性。
《万物黎明》从根本上改变了我们对人类过去的理解，并提供了一条通往想象新形式自由和组织社会新方式的途径。
这是一本知识面广博的巨著，充满了好奇心、道德远见和对直接行动力量的信念。
