摘要

In The Bridge to Humanity, Walter Goldschmidt couples the economy, discipline, and precision of haiku with metaphoric evocation to propel argument and evidence toward a scientific foundation for a moral sense. Goldschmidt's marshalling of empirical evidence from anthropology, biology, neuroscience, and psychology in support of these arguments trumps the ideological assumptions of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology or ecology with both reasoning and data. Healthy public policies would build on the motivational forces of human behavior because affect hunger begins with problems in the care of infants, goes on to the traumas of adolescence, and ends with the loneliness that exacerbates the pains of old age.
