曼斯菲爾德
This book invites—no, demands—a response from its readers. It is impossible not to be drawn in to the provocative (often contentious) discussion that Harvey Mansfield sets before us. This is the first comprehensive study of manliness, a quality both bad and good, mostly male, often intolerant, irrational, and ambitious. Our “gender-neutral society” does not like it but cannot get rid of it.
Drawing from science, literature, and philosophy, Mansfield examines the layers of manliness, from vulgar aggression, to assertive manliness, to manliness as virtue, and to philosophical manliness. He shows that manliness seeks and welcomes drama, prefers times of war, conflict, and risk, and brings change or restores order at crucial moments. Manly men in their assertiveness raise issues, bring them to the fore, and make them public and political—as for example, the manliness of the women’s movement.
After a wide-ranging tour from stereotypes to Hemingway and Achilles, to Nietzsche, to feminism, and to Plato, the author returns to today’s problem of “unemployed manliness.” Formulating a reasoned defense of a quality hardly obedient to reason, he urges men, and especially women, to understand and accept manliness, and to give it honest and honorable employment.

評分這本書在策略性地推銷保守主義的兩性觀念 那種固有的、延續瞭上韆年的性彆模式 書裏固然從政治/文學中找齣瞭許多例證來說明:男性氣概的閤法性 首先這是男性的一種本質,本質是不言自明地無須論證的 而其他每一個事例恰好都能找一個相反的論點和它對持 就像那句話——生孩子和...

評分What a healthy dose of manliness! 80% of my "issues" (in real life) would've been solved if I read this book earlier. The best use one can make of this book is not to read it as a work of scholarship, but as a self-help book, a manual for actions. All the best pieces of scholarship, in fact, are manuals for actions.
