not as good as his debates in blood & flesh & actual voice...slightly repetitive/pretentious...D Murray is better in writing but less bold, Hitchens is really passionate & darn smart but this book is more casual
評分Doubt everything, and these words too. I am reminded of Nietzsche's Homo Ecce - "and who is Nietzsche, that you should believe him?"

評分“寫給年輕人的忠告”這類寫作裏,不夠自持的作者通常難以拒絕”我常常被人問及so and so”的錶達。同樣不算高雅的方式包括作者無休止的引述自己的人生經驗暗示它們的普適性。Hitchens在內容層麵排除瞭這些可能,他和讀者探討瞭解自我的價值,麵對荒誕的勇氣,堅持理性的孤獨,和秉承人之尊嚴的態度。在恰到好處的機智與幽默間,讀者看到的是一個可觸及的智識”偶像”認識世界的方式。
剋裏斯托弗· 希欽斯被譽為世界上最狷狂的知識分子與作傢、當代最纔華橫溢的新聞媒體人、美國最負盛名的專欄作傢、記者、評論員,“新無神論運動四騎士”之一。他是《名利場》雜誌、《紀事》雜誌、《新政治傢》雜誌、《紐約時報書評》和《大西洋月刊》等雜誌的特約編輯、撰稿人,在2005 年《外交政策》和《展望》組織的“全球百大公知”評選中排名第五。曾與英國前首相布萊爾就宗教是否有益於世界公開辯論。代錶作有《緻憤青》、《人之將死》、《有待商榷》、《審判基辛格》和迴憶錄《Hitch 22》等。
A witty, wise, biting, and completely individual meditation on what it means to think, live, and be to the contrary.
"Art of Mentoring" series
In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.
This book explores the entire range of "contrary positions"-from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt. In an age of overly polite debate bending over backward to reach a happy consensus within an increasingly centrist political dialogue, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast.
He bemoans the loss of the skills of dialectical thinking evident in contemporary society. He understands the importance of disagreement-to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress-heck, to democracy itself. Epigrammatic, spunky, witty, in your face, timeless and timely, this book is everything you would expect from a mentoring contrarian.
我記得我是在Bill Maher的節目上知道Hitchens,他給人感覺就是脾氣古怪,很愛得罪人,很憤怒,有時候會講一些很精彩的話,但總體來說他好像沒有一個系統來表達一個比較複雜的思想。 這本書其實就好像他人給我的感覺,這本書的內容不是教你如果做一個contrarian,而是講做contr...
評分(转自《经济观察报》,云也退先生的书评) 我很尊敬《查理周刊》的漫画家们,不是因为他们画了给自己惹来杀身大祸的那些漫画。前些天,在得知这份杂志订户猛增,全球销量数百万份时,正巧看到一幅漫画:云端立着男男女女五个人,下边的大地上,每个人拿着一份画报。五个人都很...
