对非理性保持警惕,不管它多诱人。远离“超验”和那些邀请你服从或自毁的人。提防同情心;对于你自己和他人来说,都是尊严更为可取。不要怕别人觉得你傲慢或自私。把所有的专家都看成哺乳动物。对于不公正和愚昧永远不要旁观。寻求论述和争辩不需要额外的理由;坟墓里有足够的...

评分(转自《经济观察报》,云也退先生的书评) 我很尊敬《查理周刊》的漫画家们,不是因为他们画了给自己惹来杀身大祸的那些漫画。前些天,在得知这份杂志订户猛增,全球销量数百万份时,正巧看到一幅漫画:云端立着男男女女五个人,下边的大地上,每个人拿着一份画报。五个人都很...
图书标签: 随笔 Hitchens 愤青 英文原版 人生 hitchens contrarian Nonfiction
In Letters to a Young Contrarian, best-selling author and world-class provocateur Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, and angry young (wo)men. Exploring the entire range of "contrary positions" from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt, Hitchens introduces the next generation to the minds and the misfits who inspire him --- invoking such mentors as Emile Zola, Rosa Parks, and George Orwell. As is his trademark, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast to stagnant traditions across the ideological spectrum. There is no one writing today with a greater understanding of the importance of disagreement --- to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress, to democracy itself.
不是很好读 但心灵鸡汤足了 感觉开头有点夸张抽象 有点人生导师的感觉
评分读到最后饱含热泪:Shun the “transcendent” and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself and others. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity...
评分在密集看一些中国历史的间隙里抽身出来读了这一本,现在多少能理解鲁迅先生为什么劝青年少读,或干脆不要读古书
评分读起来有些囫囵吞枣,还是摘抄出一些金句。以后可以多读一读,学学如何将自己的思想表达给普通听众。
评分渐入佳境,读到后半部分一些具体的事例不得不为作者的理想主义而鼓掌,但开头的部分流于抽象又过于花哨,实在不是很好读。
