看理查德•桑内特的《匠人》,总让我想起小时候。每逢佛诞,母亲便张罗着手做几个面饼,倒半锅油,生大火,炸出来的面饼卖相各一黄滋滋的,各样口味都有。尽管母亲的手艺令人垂涎三尺,但作为小孩子的我,仍然羡慕邻居灶不生烟去小卖铺里买回来的蛋黄派。直到今日,我才初初...

评分 评分湖南湘乡市碧洲公园内的一块语录碑上,前两年被人发现将曾国藩的格言“莫问收获,但问耕耘”误刻成“莫问耕耘,但问收获”,将意思完全弄反了——但它倒是在无意中道出了眼下这个时代的真相:这是一个结果导向的社会。众所周知的实用主义名言“白猫黑猫,抓到老鼠就是好猫”便...

Defining craftsmanship far more broadly than “skilled manual labor,” Richard Sennett maintains that the computer programmer, the doctor, the artist, and even the parent and citizen engage in a craftsman’s work. Craftsmanship names the basic human impulse to do a job well for its own sake, says the author, and good craftsmanship involves developing skills and focusing on the work rather than ourselves. In this thought-provoking book, one of our most distinguished public intellectuals explores the work of craftsmen past and present, identifies deep connections between material consciousness and ethical values, and challenges received ideas about what constitutes good work in today’s world.
The Craftsman engages the many dimensions of skill—from the technical demands to the obsessive energy required to do good work. Craftsmanship leads Sennett across time and space, from ancient Roman brickmakers to Renaissance goldsmiths to the printing presses of Enlightenment Paris and the factories of industrial London; in the modern world he explores what experiences of good work are shared by computer programmers, nurses and doctors, musicians, glassblowers, and cooks. Unique in the scope of his thinking, Sennett expands previous notions of crafts and craftsmen and apprises us of the surprising extent to which we can learn about ourselves through the labor of making physical things.
