The author argues that the Left wing in America sees the sins of America's past poisoning hope for the future, and challenges the "lost" generation of the Left to understand the role it might play in the tradition of democratic intellectual labour that started with writers like Walt Whitman and John Dewey. The book traces the source of the debilitating mentality of shame in the Left of how national pride and American patriotism come to seem an endorsement of atrocites - from slavery to the slaughter of Native Americans, from the felling of ancient forests to the Vietnam War. At the centre of this history is the conflict between the Old Left and the New that arose during the Vietnam War era. The author describes how the paradoxical victory of the antiwar movement, ushering in the Nixon years, encouraged a disillusioned generation of intellectuals to pursue "High Theory" at the expense of considering the place of ideas in our common life. He sees a retreat from secularism and pragmatism, and decries the tendency of the heirs of the New Left to theorize about the United States from a distance instead of participating in the civic work of shaping our national future. Richard Rorty looks to redress the imbalance in American cultural life by rallying those on the Left to the civic engagement and inspiration needed for "achieving our country".

评分爱国主义的叙事自然不止一种,但怎样用一种叙事取代已经根深蒂固的另一种呢?
评分国家如同个人,没有稳固的先验本质。国家也在尼采的"self-making"过程中,罗蒂在非马克思的传统里整理美国的左翼传统,评判文化左翼和改良左翼在改善国家的实际效果。最后还是回到学科范畴,摈弃Jameson的抽象旁观者似的姿态。[不少观点其实都有待商榷,行文风格如同先知]

[打卡8/27]理查德·罗蒂《筑就我们的国家:20世纪美国左派思想》 看题目像是本断代思想史,其实是几篇演讲的合集,是作者对美国左派思想的评述。 同样的逻辑和思想亦可借鉴到中国。 文化左派喜好大而无当的理论,似乎理论越抽象,就越能颠覆现有的秩序,概念工具越有气势、越...
评分 评分 评分 评分“左派”与“右派”是我们最熟悉也最苦恼的概念。史学界追根溯源,说这一对术语产生于法国大革命期间,在1791年的制宪会议上,激进的革命派恰巧坐在议会左边的席位上,而温和的保守派恰巧坐在右边的席位上。所以,左翼比右翼革命,右派比左派保守。在我们的知识谱系里,这一...
