Following in the wake of his groundbreaking War in the Age of Intelligent Machines, Manuel De Landa presents a radical synthesis of historical development over the last one thousand years. More than a simple expository history, A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History sketches the outlines of a renewed materialist philosophy of history in the tradition of Fernand Braudel, Gilles Deleuze, and Felix Guattari, while also engaging the critical new understanding of material processes derived from the sciences of dynamics. Working against prevailing attitudes that see history as an arena of texts, discourses, ideologies, and metaphors, De Landa traces the concrete movements and interplays of matter and energy through human populations in the last millennium.De Landa attacks three domains that have given shape to human societies: economics, biology, and linguistics. In every case, what one sees is the self-directed processes of matter and energy interacting with the whim and will of human history itself to form a panoramic vision of the West free of rigid teleology and naive notions of progress, and even more important, free of any deterministic source of its urban, institutional, and technological forms. Rather, the source of all concrete forms in the West's history are shown to derive from internal morphogenetic capabilities that lie within the flow of matter-energy itself.

這本書大概八年之前讀過,之後此書一直放在上海傢中壓箱底,至今未重見天日。兩年之前開始讀德蘭達的另一本書“A New Philosophy of Society." 本人愚鈍,曾經嘗試讀德勒茲,但覺得更晦澀難解,每每把德蘭達當做德勒茲的大眾普及版。德蘭達的文字要平易許多,基本上如果對近世...
評分三年內藉過兩次這本書,一直都啃不下來。 因為寫論文又把這書翻齣來,但是還是啃不下來,實在崩潰。誰寫個簡評?讀書筆記啥的?大傢都說是好書,就是看不懂。 我要寫多少字以上纔允許我發評論啊? 好吧我再說兩句廢話,雖然題目寫的是history,但是這是一本哲學書。 因為看瞭...

圖書標籤: 哲學 建築 philosophy history 建築史 曆史 Architecture 係統科學
像是小時候第一次看哈利波特的感覺
評分其實隻讀瞭語言部分, 其他的讀不進去。語言部分還是挺好看的
評分I have only read the introduction and the first chapter which is most related to architecture. He's made convincing statements of a new philosophical altitude towards history. Also, De Landa's text is a perfect example to learn academic writing.
評分感覺讀瞭一個發散思維的叨叨叨,冗長的章節始於一個還算清晰的開頭,然後就不斷發散,這一下那一下的,最後再圓迴來。主綫是物質能量世界的兩種構成模式相互影響、動態共存,不斷“相變”而非單綫程遞進的非綫性曆史,但真的纏繞太多細碎的內容進去瞭,讀者還得不斷提醒自己注意重點,看著真纍。
評分就是一鍋大雜碎。
