Bregman widerlegt Studien und Geschichten, die angeblich das Gegenteil beweisen und erzählt von Ereignissen, die auf Mitgefühl und Solidarität basieren – auch unter schwierigsten Bedingungen. Dieses positive Menschenbild ist nicht nur realistisch, sondern kann uns auch anleiten, unser Zusammenleben und unsere Institutionen danach auszurichten und so eine gerechtere Gesellschaft zu schaffen.

Rutger Bregman is a Dutch historian, author and journalist. He is known for his bestselling books Humankind and Utopia for Realists, and is now on his third book called Moral Ambition. In this episode, Isak talks to Rutger Bregman about questions such as what moral ambition is? Why are young idealists so unambitious? How can idealists become more pragmatic? Why is purity appreciated more than effectiveness? What is moral reframing, why should we learn it? What should we think about Extinction Rebellion (Elokapina)?

Morele Ambitie – Rutger Bregman #boekencast afl 100
Het boek dat we vandaag, in de honderste (!) aflevering bespreken is Morele ambitie van Rutger Bregman. We kregen het boek in digitale vorm voor de datum van uitgifte. Rond de publicatiedatum op 19 mrt 2024 hebben we de opname samen met Jelle van Baardewijk voor De Nieuwe Wereld gepubliceerd en gedeeld. Het boek zette mij aan het denken, doe ik wel genoeg? Wat kan ik doe dat veel meer effect heeft. Dat had ik ook al na het lezen van The life you can save. Ik heb mijn gedachten en gedrag over het geven van geld aan goede doelen na het lezen...

De garnaal van Rutger Bregman | Rutger Bregman - Morele ambitie
Een luisteraar wil weten: waarom erger ik me toch zo aan Rutger Bregman? Joost en Charlotte duiken in Bregman om een antwoord op deze vraag te vinden. Joost vertelt over een mysterieuze ontmoeting met het spirituele, en een minder mysterieuze ontmoeting met Rutger Bregman zelf. Charlotte denkt na over thinking global en acting local. Deugen de meeste mensen echt? En voor wie is Bregmans nieuwste boek nou echt bedoeld – voor ons of alleen voor CEO’s? Als je heel goed cello kunt spelen, hoef je dan niet malaria te genezen? En hoe zit het met het gevoelsleven van garnalen?

Een schop onder je kont van 'dominee' Rutger Bregman (en Stefan Paas)
Hij is misschien wel de meest invloedrijke Nederlandse schrijver van dit moment: historicus Rutger Bregman. Zijn boek 'De meeste mensen deugen' werd een wereldwijde bestseller, een boek dat mensen misschien wel té prettig vonden om te lezen, stelt Rutger. Zijn nieuwe boek 'Morele Ambitie' is daarom geen warme knuffel, maar een koude douche. Hij wil mensen wakker schudden en - op een bepaalde manier - bekeren. Want bij Rutger is de dominee nooit ver weg. Is dat ook de reden waarom hij - naast alle lof - ook veel afkeer oproept? En waarom struikel je in zijn boek over d...

RUTGER BREGMAN: Is it human nature to be good or evil? Exploring the evolution of the human race
The dawn of civilisation is the moment from which we believe everything could only get better. In his latest book though, Rutger Bregman argues this might not be the case. Since then we've innovated war, extreme poverty, food and water inequality, and we've become so densly populated that we harbour and spread diseases across the globe. The catalyst, he argues, is that we assume the worst in others, which effects our behaviour towards them.ABOUT RUTGER BREGMANRutger Bregman is a popular historian and author who’s bee...

‘Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.’ So said Abraham Lincoln in one of his rousing speeches, but it is a sentiment that could come straight out of the playbook of popular Dutch historian Rutger Bregman. Bregman's compelling ‘hopeful history,’ Humankind, is a bracingly optimistic account of human nature. Essentially, in his view, the vast majority of people are pretty decent. He contrasts this idea with biologist Frans de Waal’s ‘...

So what we assume about other people is what we get out of them, human nature is shaped by peer pressure, and what makes us cooperate can rip into tribalism.
