Review
The famous philosopher and author holds a compelling discussion on the evolution and cultural meanings of collecting and list-making.
Product Description
Best-selling author and philosopher Umberto Eco is currently resident at the Louvre, and his chosen theme of study is "the vertigo of lists." Reflecting on this enormous trove of human achievements, in his lyrical intellectual style he has embarked on an investigation of the phenomenon of cataloging and collecting. This book, featuring lavish reproductions of artworks from the Louvre and other world-famous collections, is a philosophical and artistic sequel to Eco’s recent acclaimed books, History of Beauty and On Ugliness, books in which he delved into the psychology, philosophy, history, and art of human forms. Eco is a modern-day Diderot, and here he examines the Western mind’s predilection for list-making and the encyclopedic. His central thesis is that in Western culture a passion for accumulation is recurring: lists of saints, catalogues of plants, collections of art. This impulse has recurred through the ages from music to literature to art. Eco refers to this obsession itself as a "giddiness of lists" but shows how in the right hands it can be a "poetics of catalogues." From medieval reliquaries to Andy Warhol’s compulsive collecting, Umberto Eco reflects in his inimitably inspiring way on how such catalogues mirror the spirit of their times.

都说翁贝托·艾柯是整个欧洲读书最多的作家。《无限的清单》这本书充分展示了他惊人的阅读量。从《荷马史诗》到歌德的《浮士德》、普鲁斯特的《在斯万家那边》,从莎士比亚到乔伊斯、博尔赫斯——包括他自己,艾柯旁征博引,几乎涵盖了整个欧洲文学史。不仅如此,书中还列...
评分最开始被无限的清单所吸引源于某种建筑师的内在的罗列强迫喜好症,觉得这会是一本非常有趣的书。读完之后,确实如此。除去对于罗列清单的强迫喜好症,觉得这是一本非常值得推荐给建筑师一读的书。虽然书中与空间相关的案例甚少,更多的是各种文学或是绘画中的清单的案例,但书...
评分《无限的清单》是被称为“最博学的作家”翁贝托·艾柯继《美的历史》《丑的历史》之后,最新推出的美学研究重量级作品。艾柯受卢浮宫邀请策划了一系列展览等活动,并完成这本关于“清单”的图文专著。书中探讨了艺术、文学、音乐、建筑等领域出现的“实用清单”、“诗性清单”...
评分梁文道:我很不喜欢给人家开书单,但是我特别爱看人家开的书单,为什么呢?因为我总想在书单里面看看,是不是有些书我是听都没听过,读都没读过,然后我就看着书单在遐想,假如我读了它多好,我将来一定花时间去读,可是我们都知道,我们这辈子,绝对不可能按照那么多不同种类...
评分这两天刚学会一个新词“负面清单”,这份自贸区清单的多寡与开放的程度成反比。而正面清单,这时候反倒成了一种束缚,它只规定了哪些事情是可以做的,规定之外还有着无限的可能。所以,从张之洞的书目答问到施蛰存推荐庄子文选,不免引来鲁迅先生的不满。也可见清单之难。 但...
