La Fabrique de l'humanité--Comment notre cerveau explique la famille, l'économie, la justice, la religion...

" Il n'y a aucune raison valable pour que les sociétés humaines ne soient expliquées et décrites avec la même précision que les autres mécanismes de la nature. " Pourquoi y a-t-il des conflits entre les groupes humains ? Pourquoi les gens accordent-ils du crédit aux rumeurs ? Pourquoi y a-t-il des religions ? Les sociétés peuvent-elles être justes ? Comment expliquer la morale ? Comment sont organisées les familles humaines ? Qu'est-ce que le genre ? Comment les êtres humains peuvent-ils comprendre l'économie ? Au-delà des antagonismes inné/acquis et nature/culture et des théories usuelles sur la religion, le genre, l'économie ou encore la politique, Pascal Boyer s'appuie sur les récentes découvertes de la biologie de l'évolution, de la génétique, de la psychologie et d'autres champs de recherche pour déconstruire nos croyances. Il nous livre ainsi une toute nouvelle approche de la transmission culturelle et de la mémoire collective, et une analyse novatrice des mécanismes qui poussent l'être humain à vivre en société et à coopérer. " Lisez le nouveau livre captivant de Pascal Boyer. Il changera à tout jamais votre compréhension de la société et de la culture.

Preface Introduction: Human societies through the lens of Nature Six problems in search of a new science 1. What is the root of group conflict? Why "tribalism" is not an urge but a computation 2. What is information for? Sound minds, odd beliefs, and the madness of crowds 3. Why are there religions? ... And why are they such a recent thing? 4. What is the natural family? From sex to kinship to dominance 5. How can societies be just? How cooperative minds create fairness and trade, and the apparent conflict between them 6. Can human minds understand societies? Coordination, folk sociology and natural politics Conclusion: Cognition and communication create traditions.
