Representations of the Intellectual

Representations of the Intellectual pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

Edward Said is well known for speaking his mind on controversial issues. In this brief lecture series, he goes beyond speaking up for a cause or a social group to defend the act of speaking up itself. Hence the double significance of the title, Representations of the Intellectual: In representing an idea to the public, the intellectual also represents an image of what it means to be an intellectual. Positioning himself against the "expert" who provides "'objective' advice for pay" (to a government, corporation, or the media), Said articulates a vision of the intellectual "as exile and marginal, as amateur, and as the author of a language that tries to speak truth to power," by "bearing witness" to forgotten, ignored, or suppressed stories. Appreciating the postmodern anxieties that may arise from his bold claims about universal moral principles and the neat separation of truth from power, Said honestly confronts the problem of objectivity. He illustrates his idea of the intellectual with historical, literary, and personal examples, candidly confiding his heroes and villains, and revealing the beliefs and passions behind his own life's work.

In this series of essays, based on his 1993 Reith Lectures, Edward Said explores what it means to be an intellectual today. It is, he argues, the intellectual's role to represent a message or view not only to, but for, a public, and to do so as an outsider - someone who cannot be co-opted by a government or corporation. Interweaving literature, history and philosophy, Said describes and demonstrates how the intellectual must remain a dissenter, never putting solidarity before criticism, and speak from the margins for both the people and the issues which are routinely forgotten or ignored.

同样是对启蒙以来西方主流价值观的反思,杜维明的重点在于对工具理性个人主义的反思,因而极力倡导从儒家传统中打捞文化的精髓,以“己所不欲,不施于人”的恕道和“己欲利而利人,己欲达而达人”的仁道,重新构建全球化轴心时代的全球伦理,力图重提集体(全球村)精神。而面...

我是一个极其感性的人,理所当然的把萨义德的《知识分子论》读成富有浪漫主义想象的随笔。其中作者论述班达的观点,班达将真正的知识分子定为:他们的活动本质上不是追求实用的目的,而是在艺术、科学或形而上的思索中寻求乐趣,简言之,就是乐于寻求拥有非物质方面的利益,因...

Such a powerful account on the meaning and role of intellectual. Intellectuals are resistant, often marginalized, and pursue what is just and right that arises from their deepest convictions. This book is worth multiple readings, very incisive and thought provoking.
