剋裏斯托弗· 希欽斯被譽為世界上最狷狂的知識分子與作傢、當代最纔華橫溢的新聞媒體人、美國最負盛名的專欄作傢、記者、評論員,“新無神論運動四騎士”之一。他是《名利場》雜誌、《紀事》雜誌、《新政治傢》雜誌、《紐約時報書評》和《大西洋月刊》等雜誌的特約編輯、撰稿人,在2005 年《外交政策》和《展望》組織的“全球百大公知”評選中排名第五。曾與英國前首相布萊爾就宗教是否有益於世界公開辯論。代錶作有《緻憤青》、《人之將死》、《有待商榷》、《審判基辛格》和迴憶錄《Hitch 22》等。
A witty, wise, biting, and completely individual meditation on what it means to think, live, and be to the contrary.
"Art of Mentoring" series
In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.
This book explores the entire range of "contrary positions"-from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt. In an age of overly polite debate bending over backward to reach a happy consensus within an increasingly centrist political dialogue, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast.
He bemoans the loss of the skills of dialectical thinking evident in contemporary society. He understands the importance of disagreement-to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress-heck, to democracy itself. Epigrammatic, spunky, witty, in your face, timeless and timely, this book is everything you would expect from a mentoring contrarian.

刺頭希欽斯:無限轉宗 文|DAGAR 是做一個乖寶寶,還是做個叛逆鬼?花季雨季叛逆鬼不少,最終都該做個乖寶寶。希欽斯被稱為少有的狷狂公知,被他瞄準的都是特蕾莎修女、剋林頓、基辛格、戴安娜這些大人物及一些大事,拿不齣實打實的證據、敏銳的洞見炮打大人物,他可狷狂不起來...
評分我記得我是在Bill Maher的節目上知道Hitchens,他給人感覺就是脾氣古怪,很愛得罪人,很憤怒,有時候會講一些很精彩的話,但總體來說他好像沒有一個係統來錶達一個比較複雜的思想。 這本書其實就好像他人給我的感覺,這本書的內容不是教你如果做一個contrarian,而是講做contr...
評分 評分《緻一位“憤青”的信》,讀書名還以為是本規勸的書,我正想著要息息怒,學學如何處世,沒想非但沒有得逞,還被引得火上澆油,因為作者說:“我隻有一次生命要度過,所以我一分鍾也不願意花在作某種抑鬱的妥協上。” 他認為: 1、必須懷疑一切。一個人認為是正確的東西,無論是...
評分(轉自《經濟觀察報》,雲也退先生的書評) 我很尊敬《查理周刊》的漫畫傢們,不是因為他們畫瞭給自己惹來殺身大禍的那些漫畫。前些天,在得知這份雜誌訂戶猛增,全球銷量數百萬份時,正巧看到一幅漫畫:雲端立著男男女女五個人,下邊的大地上,每個人拿著一份畫報。五個人都很...

(2013.43)一年前看見這書八成會奉為人生哲學的新高峰什麼的,現在就是覺得非常帶感又非常舞紮~ 高端說教什麼的最有愛瞭,但現在已經無法滿足我瞭,還是要轉戰純科學啊~(扭)不過CH其人的確很有趣啊,文青應該讓他火起來啊~~~
評分Doubt everything, and these words too. I am reminded of Nietzsche's Homo Ecce - "and who is Nietzsche, that you should believe him?"
評分not as good as his debates in blood & flesh & actual voice...slightly repetitive/pretentious...D Murray is better in writing but less bold, Hitchens is really passionate & darn smart but this book is more casual
