Karsten Harries is Professor of Philosophy at Yale University.
Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place. But dissatisfaction with the modern world may also spring from a conviction that modernism has failed to confront the challenge of an inevitably open future. Such conviction has frequently led to a critique of modernity's founding heroes. Challenging that critique, Harries insists that modernity is supported by nothing other than human freedom.
But more important to Harries is to show how modernist self-assertion is shadowed by nihilism and what it might mean to step out of that shadow. Looking at a small number of medieval and Renaissance texts, as well as some paintings, he uncovers the threshold that separates the modern from the premodern world. At the same time, he illuminates that other, more questionable threshold, between the modern and the postmodern.
Two spirits preside over the book: Alberti, the Renaissance author on art and architecture, whose passionate interest in perspective and point of view offers a key to modernity; and Nicolaus Cusanus, the fifteenth-century cardinal, whose work shows that such interest cannot be divorced from speculations on the infinity of God. The title Infinity and Perspective connects the two to each other and to the shape of modernity.

這本書裏的思想非常復雜,沒辦法理齣綫性的邏輯關係,書中談到的各種思想源流呈網狀聯係,看完書之後,摘抄齣來劃綫的段落集中起來看,仍然是一臉懵逼。。。讀瞭幾十年書瞭也算是頭一次遇到這樣的情況,各章之間,前後章節都有聯係,隨隨便便就能理齣一些邏輯綫索。 作者的厲...

評分8 下半部分首先齣現的,是一位返場選手——庫薩的尼古拉。 前麵說過,透視法顯示人經由反思的“去中心”如何與“迴到中心”相聯係,思考上帝無限性所導緻的“去中心”會引齣人文主義的“迴到中心”。而關鍵是,新得到的中心不再能自稱為一個“絕對的中心”。這時候,中世紀人想...

評分《無限與視角》是科學源流譯叢第十種,也是唯一一本讓我讀得犯睏的,齣於對這套書的尊重,好歹總算讀完瞭。 看得齣張蔔天對此書非常欣賞,但我實在讀不下去。 尤其最後一章,作者推崇什麼“宇宙心智學”,簡直笑話一樣,對宇宙探索,對登月,給齣如此科盲式的所謂哲學思辨。 再...

難。。。
評分哲學傢Harries寫過《建築的倫理功能》,此書是從Cusanus那令今人震驚的世界觀、上帝觀、多中心論講起,從of learned ignorance講到當時天主教教會的改革,然後進入到亞裏士多德的宇宙論,從而看到為何Cusanus描述的世界視角,既具有連續性,又具有革命性。。。。然後,纔是阿爾伯蒂、Ficino哥白尼。。。。。。不是建築史,也不是簡單的透視史,而是從透視開始的神學哲學史。
評分究竟是不是希臘的科學
評分難。。。
