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.
Umberto Eco, semiotician at the University of Bologna, is widely known as one of the finest living authors whose best-selling novels include The Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum, The Island of the Day Before, and Baudolino.

評分這兩天剛學會一個新詞“負麵清單”,這份自貿區清單的多寡與開放的程度成反比。而正麵清單,這時候反倒成瞭一種束縛,它隻規定瞭哪些事情是可以做的,規定之外還有著無限的可能。所以,從張之洞的書目答問到施蟄存推薦莊子文選,不免引來魯迅先生的不滿。也可見清單之難。 但...
評分都說翁貝托·艾柯是整個歐洲讀書最多的作傢。《無限的清單》這本書充分展示瞭他驚人的閱讀量。從《荷馬史詩》到歌德的《浮士德》、普魯斯特的《在斯萬傢那邊》,從莎士比亞到喬伊斯、博爾赫斯——包括他自己,艾柯旁徵博引,幾乎涵蓋瞭整個歐洲文學史。不僅如此,書中還列...
評分原以為艾柯這本《無限清單》隻是一本論述清單意義的書,讀過發現這本書就是無限清單的本體呈現,我想,艾柯寫此書的想法一定是:我的博學終於派上用場,哈哈哈。 再迴頭看艾柯寫此書的源起:「盧浮宮邀請我挑選一個主題來籌辦一係列會議、展覽、公開朗讀、音樂會、電影,我毫不...
