Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) was self-educated and lived the life of a drifter through the 1930s. After Pearl Harbor, he worked as a longshoreman in San Francisco for twenty-five years. He is the author of ten books, including "The Passionate State of Mind", "The Ordeal of Change", and "The Temper of Our Time". He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1983 and died later that year.
A stevedore on the San Francisco docks in the 1940s, Eric Hoffer wrote philosophical treatises in his spare time while living in the railroad yards. The True Believer -- the first and most famous of his books -- was made into a bestseller when President Eisenhower cited it during one of the earliest television press conferences.Completely relevant and essential for understanding the world today, The True Believer is a visionary, highly provocative look into the mind of the fanatic and a penetrating study of how an individual becomes one.
群众运动的手段,转述自原书第159页 1.把教条提高到理性之上,这样,个人智慧就没有用武之地了; 2.通过经济集权和故意使生活必需品稀少,让个人产生经济依赖。(中国民众不易造反的原因之一,就在于他们得花最大力气才赚得到一点点维生之资。P52) 3.拥挤的居住或生活空间...
评分狂热分子一书探讨的是群众运动的共有特征,包括宗教运动、社会运动(革命)和民族主义运动。所有的群众运动都是从同一类人中间吸引最早的追随者,吸引到的都是同一类心灵。 本书探讨的是群众运动的一个阶段——积极阶段。这个阶段主要由“忠实信徒”所控制,他们是一些具有狂...
评分1951年的作品,美国人写的,依旧契合当代社会。看完后,只觉得所有曾经发生过灾难性的群众运动的地区,都应该把社会学纳入最基本的"思想品德"或"政治"教育的必修课,不过,这大概会让政客们丧失他们最有效的武器吧。 不知该怎么评价,摘录几段吧: -- 关于"不满情绪" “不满...
评分最近又开始读第二遍埃里克-霍弗的《狂热分子》,有一些记录和反思,与大家分享。觉得在这个时代好好读一下这本书,以及多读点历史书,会是一件很好的事。 —————————————————————— 1、 嚼碎了食物口对口喂牙口很好的孩子,无时不刻都盯着孩子,中国...
评分“不做奴隶了,我们做什么?”——美国内战结束之后,想象中理应欢呼雀跃的大批南部黑人迅速陷入了大规模的自我怀疑迷茫中。战后相当长一段时间里,自由人们面对新的不平等和压迫,并没有表现出强烈的斗争意识,相反,主张向白人妥协的布克•T•华盛顿,成为了那个时代...
真是指导群众运动的圣经!
评分每一句话都想标记下来,比如:There is a tendency to judge a race, a nation or any distinct group by its least worthy members.
评分好书,强烈推荐。
评分平等社会比自由社会更稳定。看看大陆和香港。
评分還是更喜歡“the crowd”
