课程名称：灵魂信仰：原因与后果 - 单元1：历史基础 概述：在历史上，全球绝大多数人相信自己拥有灵魂，虽然科学无法回答灵魂是否存在的问题，但我们可以研究关于灵魂及其在身体死亡后存续的各种信仰的原因和后果。灵魂和来世信仰为何在人类历史中如此普遍？认为灵魂存在是否具有适应性优势？是否存在环境压力塑造的脑结构，为许多宗教中显著的身体/心灵二元论提供基础？这些信仰如何塑造不同文化的世界观以及我们的集体生活？相互竞争的来世信仰在宗教、科学、政治和战争中扮演着什么角色？本课程探讨了这一相对未被探索但对人类思想和行为具有深远重要性的方面。 课程主要由70到80分钟的讲座组成，通常分为三个部分，录制自罗格斯大学文理学院提供的课程。这些视频包括幻灯片和一些嵌入的视频片段。大多数讲座配有所用幻灯片，此外还包含推荐的阅读作业，为学生提供更多反思学习的机会。 由于课程内容较长且有自然的进展，在线课程分为三个单元，此为单元1。 课程大纲： - 课程介绍 - 我被告知的信仰 - 灵魂信仰的历史基础 #1 - 灵魂信仰的历史基础 #2 - 灵魂信仰的历史基础 #3 - 古代与现代的宗教功能 - 对科学证据的反应 - 受到攻击的宗教 - 重大思想与重大争议 - 达尔文的危险思想 - 身心问题

Description:
Throughout history, the vast majority of people around the globe have believed they have, however defined, a “soul.” While the question of whether the soul exists cannot be answered by science, what we can study are the causes and consequences of various beliefs about the soul and its prospects of surviving the death of the body. Why are soul and afterlife beliefs so common in human history? Are there adaptive advantages to assuming souls exist? Are there brain structures that have been shaped by environmental pressures that provide the foundation of body/mind dualism that is such a prominent feature of many religions? How do these beliefs shape the worldviews of different cultures and our collective lives? What is the role of competing afterlife beliefs in religion, science, politics, and war? This course explores several facets of this relatively unexplored but profoundly important aspect of human thought and behavior. The course consists mainly of 70 to 80 minute lectures, typically broken up into 3 segments, recorded from a course offered by Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences. These videos include slides and some embedded video clips. Most lectures are accompanied by slides used during the lecture, also including recommended reading assignment which may provide additional opportunities to reflect on your studies. Due to the lengthiness of this class and natural progression, the online course has been separated into 3 units, this is Unit 1.
