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.

书中很多人都是我其实很喜欢的,包括卢梭、雪莱、罗素、萨特和波伏瓦等。 也许正是因为很喜欢,所以并不惮看到约翰逊不留情面的批评。 有时候我们自己也很难区分清楚,自己究竟是喜欢一个人的思想,还是喜欢这个人所竖立的公众形象。 约翰逊的书,一方面给我们敲了警钟,不...
評分想必作者肯定不喜欢尼采的超人思想吧? 作者所谓的知识分子“抽象”思考的人,是保罗定义为作者本人必须符合其“抽象”思考的人的未来类型。 尼采的超人思想是追求的一种人的类型,是超越现在的未来人,他高屋建瓴的仰望的未来的人的类型,而不是现存的人。保罗真是误导了广大...
評分终于读完了保罗·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...
評分看完了保罗.约翰逊的《知识分子》。 这是一本专揭知识分子尤其是大知识分子短的书。作者详尽地展示和评说了卢梭、雪莱、易卜生、托尔斯泰、海明威、布莱希特、罗素、萨特、埃德蒙·威尔逊、维克多·高兰茨、莉莲·海尔曼等十多位人文知识分子不为常人所知的私生活。以往,这些...
評分“你连自己的家人都不爱,又怎么可能爱其他人?” 我们常常听到这样义正辞严而又雄辩有里的句子,在网络上与人舌战,这是常用的伎俩。 其实,细细想来,这样的逻辑,经不起推敲。 这是一本颠覆性质的书,说好听一点是“解构”,说不好听就是“扒粪”。 我当然相信书中关于那些...
