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.

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...

出自本书最后一段: 我们的探讨现在要结束了,从世俗的知识分子开始取代旧式的神职人员,成为人类的引路人和导师,至今正好是两百年左右。对于那些力图教导人类的知识分子,我们已经查看了他们当中的许多个案,考察了他们是否具有完成这一任务的道德和判断力的资格。我们特别...

Somebody once said our eyes do not show a lack of sense of beauty, but a lack of discovery. Apparently, it's an undoubtful guide to Paul Johnson and his controversial book Intellectuals, only what he want to discover is not beauty, but scandals and gossips....

上个月本人一篇《我们为什么要批评政府》的文章一经贴出,很快引来了不少的关注和争论,其中关于鲁迅的话题也是备受大家热议的焦点之一。   因此我觉得,今天有必要将鲁迅的话题深入一下,以便再次供大家讨论和参考。   (一)   在提及鲁迅之前,我们不妨先来看一部在...
