具体描述
Conservative historian Paul Johnson wears his ideology proudly on his sleeve in this often ruthless dissection of the thinkers and artists who (in his view) have shaped modern Western culture, having replaced some 200 years ago "the old clerisy as the guides and mentors of mankind." Taking on the likes of Karl Marx, Bertrand Russell, Lillian Hellman, and Noam Chomsky in turn, Johnson examines one idol after another and finds them all to have feet of clay. In his account, for instance, Ernest Hemingway emerges as an artistic hero who labored endlessly to forge a literary style unmistakably his own, but also as a deeply flawed man whose concern for the perfect phrase did not carry over to a concern for the women who loved him. Gossipy and sharply opinionated, Johnson's essay in cultural history spares no one.
Does it really matter that Henrik Ibsen was vain and arrogant, that Jean-Paul Sartre was incontinent? In Johnson's view, it does: these all-too-human foibles disqualify them, and other thinkers, from presuming to criticize the shortcomings of society. "Beware intellectuals," he concludes (though, given the subjects of his book, it seems he means intellectuals only of the left). "Not only should they be kept well away from the levers of power, they should also be objects of particular suspicion when they seek to offer collective advice." Whether one agrees or not, Johnson's profiles are frequently amusing and illuminating, as when he suggests that the only proletarian Karl Marx ever knew in person was the poor maid who worked for him for decades and was never paid, except in room and board, for her labors.

读后感

评分蔡：這個社會對於知識份子有很多的期望，他們認為知識份子因為知道較多的事情、道理，受過比較多的教育，所以應該要活得比較像一個有尊嚴、有原則的人，實際上，台灣自己發生的事情，已經一再地證明了知識份子未必會做正確的抉擇，在很關鍵的時刻，他們比很多沒有受過知識教育...

评分刚读毕《知识分子》（保罗·约翰逊著），国内发行本缺关于马克思的那一章，网上有译文。 作者认为知识分子应为本世纪那些造成巨大社会灾难的计划负责，作者对一些著名知识分子追名逐利、言行不一进行了揭露（从学术看很难进行事实反驳），这是本书的价值之一。但是作者选取的十...
评分终于读完了保罗·约翰逊（Paul Johnson）的《所谓的知识分子》（Intellectuals），这是一本“颠覆”之作，作者把笼罩在所谓的知识分子头上的光环抛开，把这些“人类的良心”放在聚光灯下，从个人生活的角度观察他们，从而揭露出他们华丽的外衣下藏着的“小”。 读这本书，首先...
