什么是现代 “现代”这一概念显得如此重要,我们又如何定义它的含义和内容? 但人们仍未就现代的精确维度达成共识。 比如,有人认为: 一个社会如果显现出工业化和城市化的迹象,就可能会被认为是现代的。 一个经济体制如果建立了市场经济的经济制度,它就可能是现代的。 一个...
评分从现代日本,反思中国,在一些方面又何尝不是如此?在接受现代化的洗礼中,传统文化的断层,国家自我认知的缺失,随处可见。在追逐物质文明的同时,文化已经被甩下了几条街。有点思想觉悟的人会开始迷茫,中国的文化传统在哪里呢?我对于中国文化,是完全的空白。希望,慢慢拾...
评分即便那些日本评论家们“由此及彼”动辄比较的陈词滥调早就让人心生厌倦厌倦,但越是深入地研究进入日本的历史,就会越觉得日本的中国的共同点确实贯穿了古代、现代、当代,历史、文化、社会和经济,就会越发觉得——有这样一个镜子一般的对照组实在是太过于绝妙了,而即使是中...
评分这是一本只有147页的小书,作者是荷兰的克里斯托弗,该书内容简洁,重点对日本现代化进程中的史实进行表述,辅以探究日本文化根基。但是在探究文化方面,这本书远不如鲁尼本尼迪克特的《菊与刀》。两本书各有千秋,读者可以各取所需。 看了这本书才知道,中国和日本曾...

Looks at many contemporary concerns and issues in Japan - exploring its history, economy, politics, and culture
Examines what it means to call Japan a 'modern' society, and what 'modern' has meant to the Japanese
Debunks many myths, for example explaining how Japan was never completely isolated from the outside world: even during the long period of so-called sakoku (isolationism, 1601-1853)
Examines the continuity between pre-Pacific War Japan, and post-war Japan
Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products are consumed all over the world, ranging from animated movies and computer games all the way through to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. The aim of this Very Short Introduction is to explode the myths and explore the reality of modern Japan - by taking a concise look at its history, economy, politics, and culture.
Readership: Anyone with an interest in modern Japan, including tourists, policymakers, business people, students, and academics. The book is a quick way to get up to speed on debates on modern Japan without having to tackle a lot of specialist literature.
日本人参拜靖国神社真没什么好大惊小怪呀,他们是想快点摆脱历史包袱move on,而非“真心”道歉 (这听来确实很日本)。然而书里也说国家不是可以随意人格化的,那种强迫别国道歉、否则就说该国家“人格分裂”的亚洲国家窝觉得很不可思议。
评分導論對「現代」的概念很清晰,不賣弄,值得參考。
评分I am curious, why China and Japan chose totally different attitude toward so-called great power of western world. And I wonder after I read this book, if it were China that had played the role to lead the process of modernization of east Asia, then could China, Japan and Korea be transformed into an entity which could resist Western culture?
评分Post-modernism的描述很不错。可以结合其他描述日本的文本一起看。
评分虽然我也没读过几本VSI,但这本确实是读过里面最好的
