Already translated into six languages, Francois Jullien's In Praise of Blandness has become a classic. Appearing for the first time in English, this groundbreaking work of philosophy, anthropology, aesthetics, and sinology is certain to stir readers to think and experience what may at first seem impossible: the richness of a bland sound, a bland meaning, a bland painting, a bland poem. In presenting the value of blandness through as many concrete examples and original texts as possible, Jullien allows the undifferentiated foundation of all things -- blandness itself -- to appear. After completing this book, readers will reevaluate those familiar Western lines of thought where blandness is associated with a lack -- the undesirable absence of particular, defining qualities.<br /> <br /> Jullien traces the elusive appearance and crucial value of blandness from its beginnings in the Daoist and Confucian traditions to its integration into literary and visual aesthetics in the late-medieval period and beyond. Gradually developing into a positive quality in Chinese aesthetic and ethical traditions, the bland comprises the harmonious and unnameable union of all potential values, embodying a reality whose very essence is change and providing an infinite opening into the breadth of human expression and taste.<br /> <br /> More than just a cultural history, In Praise of Blandness invites those both familiar and unfamiliar with Chinese culture to explore the resonances of the bland in literary, philosophical, and religious texts and to witness how all currents of Chinese thought -- Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism -- converge in harmonious accord.

很喜歡Jullien的視角和文筆。可由誰來寫一本關於西方文化的類似性質的書？
评分1. Emotions of (Chinese) people simply DO NOT work like this. 2. The east-west compatibility simply could not be drawn reductively to such an extent. 3. Blandness is not simply an all-encompassing positive transcendental feeling of freedom, tranquil and pleasure. 這就是網紅於連的東西？
评分從儒道哲學入手分析淡在哲學、社會、詩歌、繪畫、音樂、禮教中的滲透。淡是對特定味道、含義、人格、錶現形式的摒棄，它跨越界限、分野和約束，是一種更為整體閤一的概念。淡在感知與無感的邊緣卻能代錶事物在同一中的本質。淡的超驗在世界和感知之內，和西方形而上的思考方式有本質區彆。很有趣的書。
