评分A good book! I like all those intellectuals better after knowing how normal they are.
评分一言以蔽之,文人=jerk。本书详细地扒了很多人的皮,其实在我看来没多少意思,因为我从来也不怎么买这些人的帐。
Paul Johnson, who was born in 1928, has written over forty books and is one of Britain's leading historians. A former editor of the New Statesman, he is a frequent contributor to newspapers throughout the world. His book Modern Times has been translated into thirty languages; Intellectuals has been translated into twenty languages. His History of Christianity and History of the Jews are standard works in five continents. His other books include The Offshore Islanders, The Birth of the Modern: World Society 1815-1830 and A History of the American People. He lives in London and Somerset.
Veteran political commentator, scholar and former editor of The New Statesman Paul Johnson has collected all the nasty, cruel and disgusting episodes in the lives of the mighty dead in order to question their "moral and judgmental credentials to give advice to humanity on how to conduct its affairs."
Intellectuals, according to Johnson, often possess a defining set of characteristic traits; they are lying, cheating, hypocritical, megalomaniacs who combine an abstract love of humanity with an exploitative, selfish and cruel treatment of those who were closest to them. Rousseau, Shelley, Marx, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, Brecht, Sartre, Lillian Hellman, Norman Mailer and Kenneth Tynan are put under the spotlight and damned as moral exemplars and truth-tellers while Edmund Wilson, Evelyn Waugh and Orwell provide the necessary foil of intellectual integrity.
This is a voyeuristic, gossip-mongering, ruthless and completely compelling book that leaves a bad taste in the mouth if you consume it at one sitting. Fortunately--since it's a collection of short biographical essays or exposès one can dip in where one likes. Intellectuals is well researched and has the polished concision one might expect from a veteran journalist and scholar. It also has the advantage of dealing with subject matter that is fascinating in itself--the extravagant personalities and spectacular immoralities of some of our most revered figures. Intellectuals doesn't always work as dispassionate intellectual history--for instance the overview of intellectual trends since the 1960s in the final chapter "The Flight of Reason" seems forced--but as a set of exposès it is splendid. --Larry Brown
一 人性 约翰逊对这些臭名昭著的知识分子作了一份详细的考察,他们身上固然有知识分子一些特有的毛病:自大、虚荣、漠视他人、自我中心等等,但如果全部视为他们的问题,或者只有他们存在问题,是否有失偏颇? 约翰逊应该再写一本《大众》或《人性》,与之对照,看看这些臭名...
评分约翰逊的这本书与我们当今的“潮流”——鄙视知识分子,嘲笑高学历,颇有契合之处。比如,眼下网上常有人将教授戏称为“叫兽”,而大众媒体也的确不是披露某些教授的无耻言行。一个浮躁拜金的社会出现招摇撞骗、德行有亏的知识分子是在不足为奇。然而我们也不能以“一颗老...
评分刚读毕《知识分子》(保罗·约翰逊著),国内发行本缺关于马克思的那一章,网上有译文。 作者认为知识分子应为本世纪那些造成巨大社会灾难的计划负责,作者对一些著名知识分子追名逐利、言行不一进行了揭露(从学术看很难进行事实反驳),这是本书的价值之一。但是作者选取的十...
评分终于读完了保罗·约翰逊(Paul Johnson)的《所谓的知识分子》(Intellectuals),这是一本“颠覆”之作,作者把笼罩在所谓的知识分子头上的光环抛开,把这些“人类的良心”放在聚光灯下,从个人生活的角度观察他们,从而揭露出他们华丽的外衣下藏着的“小”。 读这本书,首先...
评分这本书其实就是历史学家写的八卦野史,但其震撼人心之处在于主角都是我们常以为“伟光正”的著名知识分子。保罗约翰逊为我们揭示了这些整日高喊“正义”,“道德”,“博爱”的知识名流,其实个人品质并不高尚:卢梭忘恩负义,雪莱不守信用,托尔斯泰专断残暴,罗素喜欢胡说八...
