课程简介

课程名称:灵魂信仰:原因与后果 - 第三单元:一切将如何结束? 概述:历史上,世界上绝大多数人都相信自己拥有某种形式的“灵魂”。尽管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生存的各种信仰的原因和后果。为什么灵魂和来世的信仰在人类历史中如此普遍?假设灵魂存在是否有适应性的优势?是否存在由环境压力塑造的脑结构,为体/心二元论奠定基础,这在许多宗教中是一个显著特征?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?竞争的来世信仰在宗教、科学、政治和战争中扮演了什么角色?本课程探讨了这一相对未被深入研究但对人类思想和行为具有深远重要性的方面。 课程包含70至80分钟的讲座,通常分为三个部分,从罗格斯大学文理学院提供的课程录制而来。这些视频包括幻灯片和一些嵌入的视频剪辑。大部分讲座都附有讲座中使用的幻灯片,还包括推荐的阅读作业,提供反思学习的额外机会。 由于课程的长度和自然进展,在线课程分为三个单元。本单元为第三单元。 大纲: - 单元3简介 - 进化心理学 - 人脑的演化 - 人类的火花 - 斯科普斯审判:人类起源与公共课堂 - 多佛教育委员会:智能设计与公共课堂 - 接下来我们该如何前进? - 一般课程页面

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 3.
