Editorial Reviews
From The New Yorker
Sennett considers an array of artisans across different periods, from ancient Chinese chefs to contemporary mobile-phone designers, in this powerful meditation on the "skill of making things well." The template of craftsmanship, he finds, combines a "material consciousness" with a willingness to put in years of practice (a common estimate of the time required to master a craft is ten thousand hours) and a strategic acceptance of ambiguity, rather than an obsessive perfectionism. Sennett’s aim is to make us rethink the notion that society benefits most from a workforce trained to respond to the metamorphoses of a global economy. Ultimately, he writes, the difficulties and possibilities of craft can teach "techniques of experience" that help us relate to others, and lead to an "ethically satisfying" pride in one’s work.

Review
"As Richard Sennett makes clear in this lucid and compelling book, craftsmanship once connected people to their work by conferring pride and meaning. The loss of craftsmanship-and of a society that values it-has impoverished us in ways we have long forgotten but Sennett helps us understand."-Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley, and author of Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Robert B. Reich )
Product Description
Defining craftsmanship far more broadly than “skilled manual labor,” Richard Sennett maintains that the computer programmer, the doctor, the artist, and even the parent and citizen engage in a craftsman’s work. Craftsmanship names the basic human impulse to do a job well for its own sake, says the author, and good craftsmanship involves developing skills and focusing on the work rather than ourselves. In this thought-provoking book, one of our most distinguished public intellectuals explores the work of craftsmen past and present, identifies deep connections between material consciousness and ethical values, and challenges received ideas about what constitutes good work in today’s world.
The Craftsman engages the many dimensions of skill—from the technical demands to the obsessive energy required to do good work. Craftsmanship leads Sennett across time and space, from ancient Roman brickmakers to Renaissance goldsmiths to the printing presses of Enlightenment Paris and the factories of industrial London; in the modern world he explores what experiences of good work are shared by computer programmers, nurses and doctors, musicians, glassblowers, and cooks. Unique in the scope of his thinking, Sennett expands previous notions of crafts and craftsmen and apprises us of the surprising extent to which we can learn about ourselves through the labor of making physical things.

不是做material culture的人,读完一个头两个大,虽然读懂了,但真是好费时间。。。。
评分文章写完,这书读了一半。“匠人的自觉”
评分汉娜阿伦特的学生,开篇对汉娜阿伦特的“平庸之恶”作出很犀利的批判——指出这可能是个精英要向工匠学习的年代。包含许多实用主义化的tim ingold的概念,如resistance&ambiguity一章便对应了ingold的being alive的第一章。论述例子多为建筑相关。
评分上篇重新定義craftsman,討論中世紀至文藝復興工房的轉變(兼論技術與藝術的關係)、機器的出現和三種物質意識。中篇討論crafts的步驟,從指頭開始,到craftsman思考、利用工具推進craft,壓力和改進過程前境不明確如何促使craft改進。下篇說明環境怎樣迫使craftsman進步和craftsman的三種基礎能力。上、中篇比較好懂,啟發大,下篇不太明白。

看理查德•桑内特的《匠人》,总让我想起小时候。每逢佛诞,母亲便张罗着手做几个面饼,倒半锅油,生大火,炸出来的面饼卖相各一黄滋滋的,各样口味都有。尽管母亲的手艺令人垂涎三尺,但作为小孩子的我,仍然羡慕邻居灶不生烟去小卖铺里买回来的蛋黄派。直到今日,我才初初...
评分《匠人》这本书信息超载,很难总结,让人浮想联翩。 在工作中学到一个词汇,叫“以终为始”,以结果倒推工作要求。这是一个听起来行之有效的管理方法。这种“不问过程的功利”,正是《匠人》想要探讨的,可能会对“大脑”造成伤害,同时想要反复证明——“不问结果的专注”之...

评分如今,在媒体和社会的大肆渲染下,“匠人精神”俨然已成为时兴的热词。可仔细想想,我们之所以提“匠人精神”,是出于对高质量产品的崇拜,而我们对匠人本身又有多少关注呢?在本书中,我们看到的不再是对“匠人精神”浅薄地讴歌,而是对匠人群体与他们的匠艺工作的分析与思考...
