John Denn, the English poet, wrote in a 17th century, "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." Now, a British academic has claimed that human individuality is indeed just an allusion, because societies are far more interconnected at a mental, physical, and cultural level than people realize.
英國詩人約翰·鄧恩在17世紀寫道：“沒有人是一座孤島，可以自全；每個人都是大陸的一片，要為本土應(yīng)卯?！爆F(xiàn)在，一位英國學(xué)者聲稱，人類的個性其實只是一種錯覺，因為社會在精神、身體和文化層面上的相互關(guān)聯(lián)程度遠超人們的想象。
In his new book, "The Self Delusion," Professor Tom Oliver, a researcher in the Ecology and Evolution Group at the University of Reading, argues that there is no such thing as self, and not even our bodies are truly us. Just as Copernicus realized the earth is not the center of the universe, Professor Oliver said society urgently needs a Copernican-like revolution to understand that people are not detached beams, but rather part of one connected identity.
在其新書《自我錯覺》中，雷丁大學(xué)生態(tài)與進化小組的研究員湯姆·奧利弗教授認為，根本不存在所謂的自我，甚至我們的身體也并非真正的我們。正如哥白尼認識到地球并非宇宙的中心一樣，奧利弗教授說，社會迫切需要一場類似哥白尼式的革命，來理解人們并非孤立的個體，而是連接在一起的同一身份的一部分。
A significant milestone in the cultural evolution of human minds was the acceptance that the earth is not the center of the universe, the so-called Copernican Revolution, he writes. However, we have one more big myth to dispose of: that we exist as independent selves at the center of a subjective universe. You may feel as if you are an independent individual acting autonomously in the world, that you have an unchanging inner self that persists throughout your lifetime, acting as a central anchor point with the world changing around you. This is the illusion I seek to tackle. We are intimately connected to the world around us.
他寫道，人類心智文化進化中的一個重要里程碑是接受了地球并非宇宙的中心，即所謂的哥白尼革命。然而，我們還有一個更大的神話需要破除：即我們作為獨立的自我存在于主觀宇宙的中心。你可能會覺得自己是一個在世界上自主行動的獨立個體，擁有一個一生不變的內(nèi)在自我，在周圍世界變化的同時作為中心的錨點存在。這正是我試圖解決的錯覺。我們與周圍的世界緊密相連。
Professor Oliver argues that there are around 37 trillion cells in the body, but most have a lifespan of just a few days or weeks. So, the material us is constantly changing. In fact, there is no part of your body that has existed for more than 10 years, since our bodies are essentially made anew every few weeks. The material in them alone is clearly insufficient to explain the persistent thread of an identity.
奧利弗教授認為，人體內(nèi)有大約37萬億個細胞，但大多數(shù)細胞的壽命只有幾天或幾周。因此，我們的物質(zhì)身體在不斷變化。事實上，你身體的任何一部分都不存在超過10年，因為我們的身體基本上每隔幾周就會重新生成一次。僅憑它們所含的物質(zhì)顯然不足以解釋身份的持續(xù)存在。
Professor Oliver claims that individualism is actually bad for society, and only by realizing we are part of a bigger entity can we solve pressing environmental and societal problems. Through selfish overconsumption, we are destroying the natural world and using non-renewable resources at an accelerating rate. We are at a critical crossroads as a species where we must rapidly reform our mindsets and behavior to act in less selfish ways, he said. So, let's open our eyes to the hidden connections all around us.
奧利弗教授聲稱，個人主義實際上對社會有害，只有認識到我們是更大實體的一部分，我們才能解決緊迫的環(huán)境和社會問題。由于自私的過度消費，我們正在破壞自然世界，并以加速的速度消耗不可再生資源。他說，我們正處于一個關(guān)鍵的十字路口，作為一個物種，我們必須迅速改變我們的心態(tài)和行為，以更不自私的方式行事。因此，讓我們睜開眼睛，看到我們周圍隱藏的聯(lián)系吧。
