Summary

Dlaczego ludy różnych czasów i miejsc formułowały mity i opowieści o podobnej symbolice i przesłaniu? Czy społeczności ludzkie o odmiennych przekonaniach religijnych lub ideologicznych skazane są na wieczny konflikt? Czy naukowe twierdzenia i religijne dogmaty rzeczywiście muszą pozostać względem siebie w wiecznej sprzeczności? Czy możliwe jest osłabienie skłonności jednostki do dokonywania okrucieństw motywowanych poczuciem tożsamości grupowej? Jaki sposób życia daje największe szanse wypełnienia go poczuciem sensu i znaczenia?

W Mapach sensu Jordan B。 Peterson próbuje odpowiedzieć na te pytania, stawiając nową, śmiałą hipotezę, wskazującą na związek między ustaleniami współczesnej neuropsychologii a strukturą najstarszych opowieści religijnych i mitów (jak na przykład mity sumeryjskie i egipskie) oraz alchemią。 Autor czerpie też z dzieł największych mistrzów pióra takich jak Lew Tołstoj czy Aleksander Sołżenicyn, odnajdując na kartach ich powieści literackie obrazy ilustrujące jego teorię。 Napisana z imponującym rozmachem interdyscyplinarna odyseja Petersona sięga od przesłania prastarych wierzeń, przez odkrycia nauk kognitywnych, po Jungowskie analizy mitologii i narracji。

Ta książka to fascynująca synteza myśli archaicznej ze współczesną, a zarazem pasjonujący wgląd w źródła ludzkiej motywacji oraz sposób postrzegania świata przez człowieka różnych epok。 To niezwykle wnikliwy i momentami wręcz bolesny obraz dynamiki pomiędzy siłami porządku a chaosu, zarówno na poziomie indywidualnej psychiki, jak i na płaszczyźnie całych społeczeństw。 Podążając szlakami tych "map sensu" stopniowo odkrywamy tajemnicę, niemalże receptę na odnalezienie upragnionej równowagi pomiędzy tym, co nieokiełznane i zagrażające a tym, co nadmiernie stabilne i dławione strukturą – jej wyznacznikiem jest los Bohatera, odkrywcy i eksploratora, zdolnego rozpoznać skostniały porządek, zanurzyć się z powrotem w chaos, a następnie budować na nowych fundamentach。 Według Autora identyfikacja z taką postawą czyni świat lepszym, a towarzyszące życiu tragedie bardziej zrozumiałymi i dzięki temu łatwiejszymi do zniesienia。

I didn't find Jordan's book, "12 rules for life", all that revolutionary, and I have some objections to some of the conclusions he comes to on the basis of what he has written here as found in his interviews and debates, but this book was truly fascinating to me and, despite a somewhat boring start, a great deal of unnecessary repetition and, arguably, overly technical language (which is actually comprehensible if you really follow it), entirely worth the read。 In fact, I'm planning to dedicate I didn't find Jordan's book, "12 rules for life", all that revolutionary, and I have some objections to some of the conclusions he comes to on the basis of what he has written here as found in his interviews and debates, but this book was truly fascinating to me and, despite a somewhat boring start, a great deal of unnecessary repetition and, arguably, overly technical language (which is actually comprehensible if you really follow it), entirely worth the read。 In fact, I'm planning to dedicate a substantial amount of time to reviewing my highlights and attempting to summarize, criticize, and build on the ideas here in my own writing。 There is so much here that deserves prolonged consideration and that engages my own thoughts and experiences in interesting ways。 。。。more

Jung, Eliade, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Piaget and a little bit of real science and research。However, the structure is not bad and the book is not boring, so the overall impression is predominantly positive。

I really like Jordan Peterson。 I’ve been extremely disappointed with his writing。 There doesn’t appear to be a clear goal to his writing。 It’s most accurately described as self-indulgent philosophical musings。 At times I almost expected him to climb out of the book at whisper in my ear “do you see how smart I am?” And the answer is no, Jordan, I do not。I like him in general because I think he does a good job of cutting through BS and getting to logical points quickly。 This book is largely the op I really like Jordan Peterson。 I’ve been extremely disappointed with his writing。 There doesn’t appear to be a clear goal to his writing。 It’s most accurately described as self-indulgent philosophical musings。 At times I almost expected him to climb out of the book at whisper in my ear “do you see how smart I am?” And the answer is no, Jordan, I do not。I like him in general because I think he does a good job of cutting through BS and getting to logical points quickly。 This book is largely the opposite。 It’s just a lot of talking without any clear purpose。 Thankfully, his musings are not in any way “bad”, they just aren’t so compelling as to warrant reading a relatively long book of personal thoughts。There are better books in the genre, and much better books to take one’s limited reading time。My apologies to Jordan—I wish he wrote like he debates。 。。。more

Read as much as I could。 Significant thinking going on but the writing is verbose。 Needs an editor。 Overall, worth engaging but the reality is that there are other books to read。

I would say that book was very informative and deep。 Help to understand the meaning of chaos and how myths and stories show us how to deal with the chaos。 It helped me a lot to understand deeper the choices that each of us makes and to understand the implication of stories that we hear, know and tell。 Sometimes was a little too hard to fallow but it was amazing book。

Ik zou 5 sterren geven voor de inspanningen van de schrijver , maar er is iets met de woorden wat het voor mij moeilijker leesbaar maakt ( met een boek van Nietzsche had ik het ook ) , wilskracht, voelskracht, denkkracht , dan zit er mss een beetje teveel denkkracht in om het voor mij duidelijk te houden , Goed boek dat mij bij momenten stevig deed nadenken , het nieuwe testament komt uit het oude testament 。。。 。enz

I had to re-start it a few times, and a lot of it still went over my head。 It's a bit above my reading level, and I will probably come back to it a few times。 The more times I re-read it the more I understand。 Petersons other books are far easier, and I definitely recommend reading them first。 It seems to be a history of our beliefs and cultures, but with a focus on western belief and culture, it's function, why we have it at all and how it came to be。 I think books like this need to be written, I had to re-start it a few times, and a lot of it still went over my head。 It's a bit above my reading level, and I will probably come back to it a few times。 The more times I re-read it the more I understand。 Petersons other books are far easier, and I definitely recommend reading them first。 It seems to be a history of our beliefs and cultures, but with a focus on western belief and culture, it's function, why we have it at all and how it came to be。 I think books like this need to be written, but I hope that it's possible to find clearer ways of doing it, since this is a very dense and difficult book。 。。。more

It is very dense but if you listen to the audiobook version, read by himself, you can hear perfectly clearly that this is far from obfuscation。 Watching the lectures for this class before reading the book helped a lot as well。 Also the people that say he misconstrues Gödel's theorem might not understand the context in which this point is made。 The point is that no matter how much information you have at your disposal you are still limited by an inexorable ignorance, even if you're a mathematicia It is very dense but if you listen to the audiobook version, read by himself, you can hear perfectly clearly that this is far from obfuscation。 Watching the lectures for this class before reading the book helped a lot as well。 Also the people that say he misconstrues Gödel's theorem might not understand the context in which this point is made。 The point is that no matter how much information you have at your disposal you are still limited by an inexorable ignorance, even if you're a mathematician。 It's the same reason he brings up the uncertainty principle in physics。 My degree is in physics, not psychology, and I personally find this repeated point of contention trivial -- it is worth mentioning mathematicians are notoriously picky about wording, even though they use capital lambda and wedge as one character, Λ, in very slightly different sizes in their advanced linear algebras for very, very different concepts, so they're not perfectly clear in their expressions either and drive other people crazy as much as Jordan might drive them by his references to Gödel。 It could also be politically motivated because he makes exactly the same point as the Numberphile videos on it but nobody seems to be as perturbed about it over there。That being said I am not sure if this book can be read at all without a lot of experience reading technical material。 It can be studied slowly but surely, however, as I believe is intended (he takes a semester to go through it and doesn't go through every single detail, after all)。 The audiobook is way, way easier to understand and it's about 33 hours long。 Going through that made the physical text a lot more digestible。 All things considered I think this could go down as an analogue to The Origin of the Species of our time。 。。。more

Ariel Trees

Had to read it, talks about the same Perennial Philosophy I love。 It’s much more enjoyable than his other works actually because he doesn’t instill his conservative editorializing to the same degree。 I also really want to read Gulag Archipelago now which I had barely heard of previously。

Alex Whigham

Took me about three months to make my way through this beast of a book。 Glad i did! Lots of insight and thought into religion that was new to me。 The analysis of the positive and negative aspects of chaos and order were very enlightening and i think give applicable advice to the life of the reader in terms of informing them that meaning in life if found in mediating between the two, that is chaos and order。

Reflection Upon Interpretations of BeingThis book is a wide ranging exploration of the mental models of meaning that we employ to apprehend, reflect and direct our thinking that informs all our actions。 The author takes us on a mental journey through the dominant mythological, religious and philosophical systems throughout history and contemporary times inclusive of their psychological and sociological implications as regards their function in aiding us in navigating the course of life。

I found this book simultaneously frustrating and saddening。 It was frustrating because it was overly long, wordy, repetitive, convoluted, and self-important (Peterson even quotes the entirety of a personal letter he wrote)。 Given the many inaccurate and misleading statements Peterson makes regarding Christianity and Christian doctrine, I question the depth of his understanding about many of the other faiths/traditions he discusses and the resulting validity of his assertions。 The book was sadden I found this book simultaneously frustrating and saddening。 It was frustrating because it was overly long, wordy, repetitive, convoluted, and self-important (Peterson even quotes the entirety of a personal letter he wrote)。 Given the many inaccurate and misleading statements Peterson makes regarding Christianity and Christian doctrine, I question the depth of his understanding about many of the other faiths/traditions he discusses and the resulting validity of his assertions。 The book was saddening because it is obvious that Peterson fundamentally misunderstands Christianity。 To reject salvation through Christ and struggle to become a "hero" purely in our own strength is not a path that will lead to meaning。 。。。more

I both love and hate Peterson。 On YouTube he is an enthralling lecturer, imbuing every moment with moral urgency and force。 This moral urgency is one of his most important lessons as a pastoral teacher: one is always moving within a hierarchy of values, one’s smallest actions may be morally significant。 Unlike some other popular academics who deal with social problems from a distant, collective position, Peterson sees social issues as solvable primarily from the individual perspective。 It is eac I both love and hate Peterson。 On YouTube he is an enthralling lecturer, imbuing every moment with moral urgency and force。 This moral urgency is one of his most important lessons as a pastoral teacher: one is always moving within a hierarchy of values, one’s smallest actions may be morally significant。 Unlike some other popular academics who deal with social problems from a distant, collective position, Peterson sees social issues as solvable primarily from the individual perspective。 It is each individual’s responsibility to act as morally and authentically as possible, else the system as a whole will collapse。Peterson’s excellent ability to sermonise is also Peterson’s weakness as a writer。 It makes him sententious rather than sensitive。 His (often long, unanalysed) excerpts from Solzhenitsyn, Dostoevsky and the Bible show that Peterson’s tendency often tends towards inculcating moral value rather than initiating critical thought。 This again makes him an excellent lecturer or preacher, but a terrible academic writer。 I have seen some think that Jung’s books are disorganised and difficult to follow because they are often lectures written down, and this criticism could be levelled at his disciple as well。 The most pleasurable way to experience Maps of Meaning may be the lecture series on YouTube。 The book, however, reads as drafts of chapters thrown together: it is not particularly systematised, it is often repetitious, and simply inserts long extracts from other books and various biographical material (including his own dreams and a letter to his parents about the book) that for me unnecessarily disrupt the book’s flow。 As an academic book, it is (surprisingly!) one of the sloppiest in terms of editing and scholarship I have yet seen。 I find it quite amusing that the supposed champion of order, telling everyone else to clean their rooms, presents himself here as quite a disorganised thinker。The ideas presented here and on Peterson’s YouTube channel however have impacted me in quite a significant way, but I should rather say ‘idea’ because Peterson only has one。 He is a ‘hedgehog’ thinker, who only knows one big thing — that being the never-ending battle between chaos and order。 Chaos is the feminine principle, order the masculine。 Chaos gives birth to order, which in turn goes out into the unknown to structure it。 This idea Peterson finds in some mythologies and religions, from Mesopotamian, to Egyptian, to Christian, to alchemical。 Each individual has the capacity to become the hero — the hero imitates Christ by travelling out into the unknown and making it known: by ‘harrowing hell’ or slaying the dragon of chaos。Some have noted the parallel with Peterson’s system of thought with Hegel (of whom Peterson himself appears strangely ignorant)。 Peterson believes that society progresses with the introduction of a chaotic element or an anomaly, that the revolutionary hero finds a way to reintegrate into the structure of the preexisting society; the anomaly is like Hegel’s negative。 Both Hegel and Peterson may therefore reach the conclusion (although less explicitly in Peterson’s case) that society tends towards a divine, paradisal state — the total manifestation of the known from the unknown, or ‘Absolute Knowing’。 Thus Peterson’s book ends with a quote from the Gospel of Thomas: ‘nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered’。 Life is about turning chaos into order, and the ability to achieve this is limited only by the amount of chaos, or the amount of ‘prima materia’ which can be alchemically transformed into gold。The metaphysical issues with such a system are explicit (even if I have oversimplified Hegel’s and Peterson’s thought)。 For one, it posits no epistemological limits to the human subject。 In Hegel, there are no Kantian bounds to the infinitude of human knowledge; for Peterson, the hero will always be capable of killing the dragon。 Kierkegaard’s critique of Hegel therefore applies equally to Peterson: he posits God as wholly intelligible to man, whereas the parable of Abraham and Isaac shows that God’s incomprehensibility may exceed all bounds of human rationality and be accessible only through the irrational and absurd。 It undervalues the divine chaos and overvalues human rationality and order — it turns God-man into the man-God。 This therefore leads to many of Peterson’s reductive readings of Biblical texts that turn them into mere representations of human psychological processes。 It is precisely Hegel’s system that led to Feuerbach’s humanist reading of religious texts that do not seem to value the aesthetic and divine mysteries at the heart of religion。 Peterson falls into the same, overly rational and all-too-human trap。Although Peterson goes to great pains in this book to show that he values chaos as an equal to order, his system and presuppositions ultimately show an innate bias towards ordering。 In public life, he has sometimes the tendency to become the ‘Terrible/Tyrranical Father’ rather than the revolutionary hero, such as in his sometimes very conservative positions in political debates。 As order is linked with the masculine, Peterson’s thought appeals largely to men。 There is little appeal for Peterson to women because there is no real way for many women to imitate the patterns of behaviour of Peterson’s ‘revolutionary hero’。 The hero, despite supposedly synthesising chaos and order, is gendered male in all examples Peterson presents。 When charged with the criticism that he links chaos with the feminine, Peterson has replied that this is not a decision he has made, but rather one that pre-exists within religion, mythology and culture。 This is true: chaos is (archetypally) feminine。 But Peterson doesn’t seem to fully appreciate the value that chaos has for society and the individual, in the way that Iain McGilchrist appears far more to do。 Chaos is not purely to be combatted, it is also to be affirmed, as in Nietzsche’s ‘Dionysian affirmation’。 I do not think that Peterson has interpreted this aspect of Nietzsche faithfully, and as such he is more dismissive of the postmoderns than is perhaps necessary。 It also explains his distaste for modern feminism — but modern feminism too should (probably, I think) be affirmed。 Goethe’s dictum ‘Das ewig Weibliche zieht uns hinan’ remains true today。。。If one believes that so-called chaos and the unknown transcends the understanding of order, then one realises the faultiness of the dualistic model。 They are not opposites: order believes that chaos is its opposite, but rather chaos transcends mere opposition, transcends binary。 Humans are born fundamentally ignorant about the world, but they are also ignorant about how they come to know about the world。 I do not think, therefore, that Peterson’s schema of how human, ‘subjective’ meaning is created is ultimately successful。 Peterson does not accept the aesthetic (divine) mystery of myth, literature, and religion, which he turns into mere guides of ethical action。 I have compared him to Hegel, but I think Peterson is much less significant than Hegel because Hegel’s syntheses are never constrained by the dead weight of overly formalised thinking。 His dialectic is wild and confusing but liberated — a much better way of exploring the unknown。 Peterson has a somewhat compelling system, but it is ultimately a far too limited monomyth。 ‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Hedgehog, than are dreamt of in your philosophy’。 。。。more
