『「経済」を生む本能――自分たちのことしか考えない人々が繁栄した理由』の要約の概要

欧米諸国がなぜ心理的に「WEIRD(奇妙)」——西洋的(Western)、高学歴(Educated)、工業化された(Industrialized)、裕福(Rich)、民主的(Democratic)——なのか、その理由を探ります。ジョセフ・ヘンリックは、カトリック教会によるいとこ婚の禁止がいかに人間の心理を再構築したかを明らかにしました。これにより、哲学者ダニエル・デネットが他の人類と比較して「類を見ないほど独特」と呼ぶ社会が形成されたのです。

『「経済」を生む本能――自分たちのことしか考えない人々が繁栄した理由』の著者について

西欧文化がつくった新しい人類:個人主義、革新、繁栄の心理的起源』(原題:The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous)の著者であるジョセフ・ヘンリックは、ハーバード大学の進化人類学者であり、文化進化論の第一人者です。ハーバード大学人間進化生物学部の教授兼学部長を務めるヘンリックは、ペルー、チリ、南太平洋での数十年にわたるフィールドワークに基づき、WEIRD(西洋の、教育水準の高い、工業化された、豊かな、民主主義的な)社会の探求を行っています。

彼の研究は人類学、経済学、心理学を融合させ、カトリック教会の中世における婚姻政策などの文化的規範が、いかにして現代の個人主義、イノベーション、そして繁栄を形作ったのかを明らかにしています。

ヘンリックの前作のベストセラー『文化がヒトを進化させた:人類の繁栄と〈文化-遺伝子共進化〉』(原題:The Secret of Our Success)は、人類の進化の軌跡を集団的な文化的学習に結びつけたことで、彼の名声を確立しました。ウェグナー理論革新賞や大統領早期キャリア賞を受賞した彼の研究は、経済学や社会科学における議論を再構築してきました。学術界やメディアで広く引用されている『The WEIRDest People』は18言語に翻訳されており、心理的進化という視点から世界史を再定義したとして高く評価されています。
