评分 评分看这本书最大的收获,在我看来,是近距离观察作者是如何在行动和写作中与他所读到的哲学互动的。其实对于“哲学对生活有什么用”这个问题,并没有给出一个明确的回答;回答隐藏在他的行动背后,隐藏在他的文字背后。 因此,如果读者对于书中提到的各种哲学家(比如亚里士多德...
评分整本书核心观点就一个,「体力劳动与脑力劳动的结合,才是完整富有意义的工作体验」。 然而,过多对修理摩托车的细节描述,让我这个对摩托车一无所知的“文盲”表示完全看不懂且枯燥无味,如果能给出在修理过程中,通过什么样的思考过程让人体验到怎样的工作乐趣,或意义,会不...

Shop Class as Soulcraft brings alive an experience that was once quite ordinary, but now seems to be receding over the cultural horizon—the experience of making and fixing things. Working with your hands, as Mathew B. Crawford describes it, connects us to the world around us. Those of us who sit in an office often have intuitions of something gone amiss, a sense of unreality accompanied by feelings of impotence. What, after all, do we do all day? In this wholly original debut, Crawford offers a brief for self-reliance and a sustained reflection on this problem: how to live concretely in an ever more abstract world. Shop Class as Soulcraft seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life worth choosing for anyone who felt hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents. On both economic and psychological grounds, Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a “knowledge worker.” This imperative, he explains, is based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing, the work of the hand from that of the mind. Crawford shows in precise detail how such a partition, which began a century ago with the assembly line, degrades work for those on both sides of the divide.
But he offers good news as well: The manual trades are very different from factory work. They require a lot of thinking and may even give rise to moments of genuine pleasure. Based on his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford makes a case for the intrinsic satisfactions and cognitive challenges— the soulcraft—of manual work. The work of builders and mechanics cannot be outsourced. They tie us to the local communities in which we live and instill the pride that comes from doing work that is genuinely useful.
Speaking squarely to a culture that continues to grapple for a way to reconcile work and life and to find fulfilling work of all stripes, Shop Class as Soulcraft offers inspired social criticism and deep personal exploration. It will change your understanding of the value of work and the work of bringing value and meaning to your life, whatever you do now or hope to do one day.
我觉得这本书是相当好看的,欧洲的名字是‘为什么办公室工作对我们是不好的,而修理东西和动手弄东西是好的’。这本书直接扣问现在人们在service economy下作为knowledge worker的生存状态,以及扣问我们现在的教育制度that value knowledge work。我们与我们使用的物体被alienation是不对的。读起来,可以看到作者深入浅出,引用了很多社会学等大家的观点和文字,但是用很简单的语言表达出来(这才对嘛!简单了,很多人读了,知识和观点传播了,才有意义嘛)。
评分鬼迷心窍滤镜加半星 4.5
评分劝退佳作。
评分究竟有多少喜欢修摩托车的哲学家...书写风格太像在写哲学论文,语法复杂生僻词用得多,读起来有点累。亲手劳作带来的自我价值并不是什么新鲜主题。觉得有意思的一些论述:教育系统中劳动教育缺失的后果,蓝领工作如何帮助构建一个社会的道德体系
评分感觉是对建立在实物和个人之间的institution的批判,最后还要建设性地畅想一下自由人社会的样子~有些思考很好,但是他的个人经历太难relate,又喜欢把简单的问题化为长篇论述加上哲学词语,不是很好读。
