Abstract
The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust, the optimistic title of Francis S. Collins's new book, hides a realistic appraisal of our current polarized country. Collins tries to tackle, in everyday language, why people are having such a hard time figuring out what is truth, how to think about science, how religious faith fits into this, and how and whom we can trust. “Misinformation, disinformation, fear … are constantly trying to knock us into the ditch,” he observes. His prescriptions are personalized and actionable—for example, talking to a neighbor whose views are different from yours.
弗朗西斯·s·柯林斯(Francis S. Collins)的新书《智慧之路:关于真理、科学、信仰和信任》(The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust)这个乐观的书名,隐藏着对我们目前两极分化的国家的现实评价。柯林斯试图用日常语言来解决,为什么人们很难弄清楚什么是真理,如何看待科学,宗教信仰如何融入其中,以及我们如何信任谁。“错误的信息、虚假的信息、恐惧……不断地试图把我们推入沟里,”他观察到。他的处方是个性化的、可操作的——例如,与观点与你不同的邻居交谈。
