看完了保罗.约翰逊的《知识分子》。 这是一本专揭知识分子尤其是大知识分子短的书。作者详尽地展示和评说了卢梭、雪莱、易卜生、托尔斯泰、海明威、布莱希特、罗素、萨特、埃德蒙·威尔逊、维克多·高兰茨、莉莲·海尔曼等十多位人文知识分子不为常人所知的私生活。以往,这些...
评分终于读完了保罗·约翰逊(Paul Johnson)的《所谓的知识分子》(Intellectuals),这是一本“颠覆”之作,作者把笼罩在所谓的知识分子头上的光环抛开,把这些“人类的良心”放在聚光灯下,从个人生活的角度观察他们,从而揭露出他们华丽的外衣下藏着的“小”。 读这本书,首先...
评分但我还要再进一步说,在我们这个悲剧的世纪,千百万无辜的生命牺牲于改善全部人性的那些计划——最主要的教训之一是:提防知识份子。 不但要把他们同权利杠杆隔离开来,而且当他们试图集体提供劝告时,他们应当成为特别怀疑的对象。提放知识分子的委员会、讨论会和联盟,不要...
评分 评分刚读毕《知识分子》(保罗·约翰逊著),国内发行本缺关于马克思的那一章,网上有译文。 作者认为知识分子应为本世纪那些造成巨大社会灾难的计划负责,作者对一些著名知识分子追名逐利、言行不一进行了揭露(从学术看很难进行事实反驳),这是本书的价值之一。但是作者选取的十...

Conservative historian Paul Johnson wears his ideology proudly on his sleeve in this often ruthless dissection of the thinkers and artists who (in his view) have shaped modern Western culture, having replaced some 200 years ago "the old clerisy as the guides and mentors of mankind." Taking on the likes of Karl Marx, Bertrand Russell, Lillian Hellman, and Noam Chomsky in turn, Johnson examines one idol after another and finds them all to have feet of clay. In his account, for instance, Ernest Hemingway emerges as an artistic hero who labored endlessly to forge a literary style unmistakably his own, but also as a deeply flawed man whose concern for the perfect phrase did not carry over to a concern for the women who loved him. Gossipy and sharply opinionated, Johnson's essay in cultural history spares no one.
Does it really matter that Henrik Ibsen was vain and arrogant, that Jean-Paul Sartre was incontinent? In Johnson's view, it does: these all-too-human foibles disqualify them, and other thinkers, from presuming to criticize the shortcomings of society. "Beware intellectuals," he concludes (though, given the subjects of his book, it seems he means intellectuals only of the left). "Not only should they be kept well away from the levers of power, they should also be objects of particular suspicion when they seek to offer collective advice." Whether one agrees or not, Johnson's profiles are frequently amusing and illuminating, as when he suggests that the only proletarian Karl Marx ever knew in person was the poor maid who worked for him for decades and was never paid, except in room and board, for her labors.
