底层人的活法?
在特價書堆裏面看到這本書,rmb30。
之前並不知曉the bell curve,只知道正態分佈曲綫。查了下,好像也是差不太多的樣子。主要是看到副標題lntelligence and class structure in American ,感觉应该是一本比较有趣的书。智力与阶层结构,分别是心理学和社会学关注的主题,将这两个东西搅在一起会得出什么样的结论?作者说本书关注的是美国社会的社会变迁过程,此过程由cognitive elite(认知精英?)所主导。可惜的是,此一变迁的结果并不理想,或者说,它有其自身的问题。具体是什么样的问题,要看看作者的书再说。
书是1994年写的,到今天已经十好几年过去了,中国的情况与当年美国的社会是否具有相似性?值得一看。
维基百科中介绍cognitive elite:
The cognitive elite of a society, according to Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray, are those having higher intelligence levels and thus better prospects for success in life. The development of a cognitive elite during the 20th century is presented in their 1994 book The Bell Curve. In this book, Herrnstein and Murray propose that the cognitive elite has been produced by a more technological society which offers enough high skill jobs for those with a higher intelligence to fill. They also propose that by removing race, gender or class as criteria the main criteria of success in academic and professional life is becoming primarily based on cognitive ability.
Educational psychologist Linda Gottfredson wrote:
“ Differences in intelligence matter. For members of the cognitive elite to maintain otherwise is like the rich arguing that money does not matter. Differences in g affect the lives of individuals and families. They help shape the social order and limit our ability to reshape it.
