Will Storr: 本书探讨了人类行为背后的驱动力,即获得社会地位的内在需求。这种需求源于我们作为部落动物的本性,在群体中既要合作又要竞争,以获得更高的地位。地位的追求并非完全负面,它既可以激励人们为群体做出贡献,推动文明进步,也可以导致负面竞争和不当行为。 Will Storr: 人们追求社会地位的方式多种多样,每个人参与的“地位游戏”不同,衡量地位的标准也不同。例如,有些人通过体力、口才、成就等来获得地位,而另一些人则通过知识、艺术、财富等来获得地位。理解这些不同的“地位游戏”有助于我们更好地理解人类行为,避免简单的相互竞争,促进不同群体间的和谐相处。 Will Storr: 对社会地位的追求并非完全是负面的,它也是人类文明进步和道德发展的重要动力。通过对地位的追求,人们能够获得认可和奖励,从而激励他们为群体做出贡献,展现出人类善良和慷慨的一面。历史上许多道德楷模和杰出人物,如甘地、马拉拉等,也正是因为他们的贡献而获得了崇高的社会地位。
