RUTH BENEDICT (1887-1948) was one of the twentieth century's foremost anthropologists and helped to shape the discipline in the United States and around the world. Benedict was a student and later a colleague of Franz Boas at Columbia, where she taught from 1924. Margaret Mead was one of her students.

死亡=悲哀=美,这是在日本人心目中的一个等式。 死亡在到来的那一刹那,如同樱花绚烂地飘落,这是美的极致,也是他们所想要的理想状态。在日本人的观念中,死亡意味着纯洁、干净和超脱。他们毫不畏惧死亡,坦然地面对死亡,欣赏死亡,而且他们像是在体验死亡,甚至乐于...
评分这本短短200页最初只是作为一份美国人如何重建战后日本的战略研究报告,我用了5个小时把它读完。不能否认,日本已经从这本书的二战背景成长为重新野心勃勃的日本,正如很多读过这本书的人评价,任何时候读都会对日本了解又深刻一层,永远不会感觉过时。这是我们在硬盘里常...

评分对于一个“民族”而言,其行为和思考方法之间是否存在系统性的内在联系?是否存在一种能够将行为与思考方法容纳其中的的整体结构?对这两个问题的肯定回答是本书研究的前提,也是大多数批评着眼之处。对习惯于各自视角的日本研究专家看来,书中提出的很多矛盾或可得到历史的、经济的、社会的甚至宗教的解释,唯独与“民族”关系不大,更不能用几个大而不当的文化patterns来概括。但在我看来,等级制、报恩、名誉、人情等固然是作者为了将诸多矛盾的原理实践连起来所添加的辅助线,也的确把一些无关的点给连了进来。但绝非”没有学术贡献“。相反,在文化这一尺度上分辨差异,既是了解他者的必要步骤,也包含了比较研究某种根本性的意旨,更不用说反常规的辅助线往往会激发新的学术想象。PS:阅读英文版可以更容易地带入严肃的文化研究者的角色

评分Japanese culture is paradoxical, and probably self-contradictary to westerners. Yet Benedict has done a great job in explaining it in a lucid style. Perceptive and prophetic.
评分Written by a literature author. The structure and lexicon of these sentences are kind of hard to understand. But after you read through it, you will have a great lift on the ability to analyze the complex sentences. Concerning to the book itself, it talks about how Japanese grow into such an exotic conduct of life and strange behaviors.
