翻看中央翻译出版社的《一桩事先张扬的凶杀案》,前言中有这样的文字: -------------------------------- ……辛辣的嘲讽了权贵,无情的揭露和批判了愚昧无知的封建礼教、封建思想、封建观念、封建迷信和仇杀行为,从一个侧面较为深刻的揭示了拉丁美洲的社会现实。这便是这篇...
评分这也许是一个难以接受的现实,但无法否认的是,我们生活在一个充满废话的社会里。 有些时候,废话是人际沟通的润滑剂,没有这些废话,大家都会觉得很尴尬。我们可以设想这样一个情境:你与一个点头之交同乘一趟电梯,除你们之外没有其他人,你会说些什么呢?天气、着装、要去...
评分人为什么要扯淡?当形势需要人们去讲他自己也不知所云的话时,当一个人有责任或机会,针对某个话题去发表超过了他对这个话题了解时,扯淡就开始了。 读《论扯淡》到这里,不禁拍案称奇:这说的不就是公司面试么?或者反过来说,面试不就(大多)是扯淡么?或者中肯地说,面试...
评分哈里.法兰克福的<论扯淡>是2005年美国的十佳畅销书,作为一本一万多字的薄书,对于精神空虚又不想看的太累的人来说,是一本不错的消遣读物.书中所描述的是我们处于一个充满各种扯淡话语的世界,这些扯淡话语没有任何的实际意义,不能作任何功,而且对人也并没有什么激励作用,但却是...

One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, 'we have no theory'. Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
硬扯了半天结果什么都没讲,有价值的可能就十句话以内
评分勉强读过一遍~有些地方不太清楚~有再读的必要
评分小书虽然意外地畅销,但是我觉得好像还不如frankfurt的访谈们好看,最重要的问题其实被悬置了。bullshit对真相的毫不在乎,使其比谎言更有害,这似乎是全书的核心,但书中的很多例证似乎正与之相左。
