There are some very basic questions about the mind that nobody knows the answer to yet. We know the brain is the source of mental life but we don’t have any understanding at all about exactly how this happens, about how a physical object, a lump of meat, can give rise to conscious experience. We know that about half of the variants in personality, about half the differences between people, are due to genetic factors but we don’t know how to explain where the other half happens. It has to be experienced but we have no real good theories of the sort of experience that makes one person adventurous and another one timid, one bitter and one satisfied. We know a lot about the social influences that can drive people to do terrible things to one another but we don’t know the answer to the maybe harder question of why some people are immune to these influences, why some people do good things, perhaps even heroic things, regardless of the circumstances that they find themselves in. 去书内

    有一些关于心灵的非常基本的问题,目前还没有人知道答案。我们知道大脑是精神生活的源泉,但我们完全不知道这是如何发生的,不知道一个物理物体,一块肉,是如何产生意识体验的。我们知道,大约一半的性格变异,大约一半的人与人之间的差异,是由遗传因素造成的,但我们不知道如何解释另一半发生在哪里。它需要经历,但我们没有真正好的理论来解释这种经历,这种经历使一个人冒险,另一个人胆怯,一个人痛苦,一个人满足。我们知道很多社会影响会驱使人们对彼此做出可怕的事情但我们不知道为什么有些人不受这些影响的影响,为什么有些人做了好事,甚至是英雄的事情,不管他们身处什么环境。
