內容簡介
《解構愛情》兩性關係的當代經典論述二十五週年,重新修訂後新版發行!
生物人類學家海倫.費雪(Helen Fisher)多年來投身大腦研究,探討情慾、戀愛與依戀,探討我們對於愛的選擇、求愛行為與婚姻。從超過兩千萬年前人類起源於非洲的家庭生活到現代的網路交友、從「交配凝視」(copulatory gaze)到自然界的求偶手段、從出軌到愛情成癮,以歷史、生物與動物行為層面,探討人類愛與被愛的原始欲望。
作者根據腦科學研究成果,探討愛的各種面向:從超過八萬份研究樣本中,歸納人類選擇所愛對象的背後原因、從三萬名男女的資訊中,研究傳色情簡訊、一夜情與炮友等現象。本書也探討不同性別的思考模式、性別政治與權力角力、性的雙重標準之興衰史等,更涵括世界各國離婚模式的最新資料。
本書不僅是演化生物學與基因學領域,對於性、愛、婚姻、離婚與家庭的研究,也提出對於數位時代的理想願景「慢愛」(slow love),是當代愛情論述的經典著作!
A contemporary classic about love now completely revised and updated.
First published in 1992, Helen Fisher’s “fascinating” (New York Times) Anatomy of Love quickly became a classic. Since then, Fisher has conducted pioneering brain research on lust, romantic love, and attachment; gathered data on more than 80,000 people to explain why you love who you love; and collected information on more than 30,000 men and women on sexting, hooking up, friends with benefits, and other current trends in courtship and marriage. And she presents a new, scientifically based and optimistic perspective on relationships in our digital age―what she calls “slow love.”
This is a cutting-edge tour de force that traces human family life from its origins in Africa over 20 million years ago to the Internet dating sites and bedrooms of today. And it’s got it all: the copulatory gaze and other natural courting ploys; the who, when, where, and why of adultery; love addictions; her discovery of four broad chemically based personality styles and what each seeks in romance; the newest data on worldwide (biologically based) patterns of divorce; how and why men and women think differently; the real story of women, men, and power; the rise―and fall―of the sexual double standard; and what brain science tells us about how to make and keep a happy partnership.
