Amazon.co.uk Review
The near-total triumph of free market capitalism around the world has put a damper on utopian visions, leading many politicians and activists to believe that radical change is impossible, that at best one can hope for slight modifications of the status quo. For Russell Jacoby, this attitude is not so much the result of practicality as it is the product of exhaustion and he argues that, as a society, we can do much better. The End of Utopia is an uncompromising look at the intellectual caliber of late 20th-century liberal and leftist politics, particularly within the academy. He portrays the class of professional intellectuals as insiders adopting the pose of marginality and lambasts the current practicioners of "cultural studies" in particular for their tendency toward banal "analysis" of mass culture in tortured, jargon-laced prose. (In contrast, he holds up Dwight MacDonald, Theodor Adorno and Matthew Arnold as writers who could address mass culture in plain language yet with deep, critical intelligence.) And he proposes that multiculturalism may be little more than a last ditch attempt at differentiation within the one, dominant culture. "What is to be done?" he asks after cataloguing this state of affairs. "The question, routinely addressed to all critics, insists on a practicality inimical to utopianism. Nothing is to be done. Yet that does not mean nothing is to be thought or imagined or dreamed." The End of Utopia shows to what extent the dreams have been abandoned, with the means of rekindling them yet within grasp. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

一種奇怪的誤解迷住瞭工人階級,這種誤解就是對勞動的熱愛,即對於勞動的狂熱激情。工人階級不應該把勞動當宗教,而應該要求“懶惰的權利”(the Rights of Laziness),比如,將勞動限製在3小時(嗬嗬,在托馬斯•莫爾那裏還是每天6小時呢),白天其他的時間都用來休閑和饗...

評分拉塞爾·雅各比新聞記者式的文風的確讓人討厭,不過,他的書我總是讀的。雅各比擅長綜閤各方麵的意見,搜集材料的功夫過硬,盡管不大懂權衡辨析;他的書作為資料長編來看,並不差。TheEndofUtopia一書我前幾年讀過一遍,印象不錯,至少比他後來那本《不完美的圖像》要充實一...
