Amazon.co.uk Review
The near-total triumph of free market capitalism around the world has put a damper on utopian visions, leading many politicians and activists to believe that radical change is impossible, that at best one can hope for slight modifications of the status quo. For Russell Jacoby, this attitude is not so much the result of practicality as it is the product of exhaustion and he argues that, as a society, we can do much better. The End of Utopia is an uncompromising look at the intellectual caliber of late 20th-century liberal and leftist politics, particularly within the academy. He portrays the class of professional intellectuals as insiders adopting the pose of marginality and lambasts the current practicioners of "cultural studies" in particular for their tendency toward banal "analysis" of mass culture in tortured, jargon-laced prose. (In contrast, he holds up Dwight MacDonald, Theodor Adorno and Matthew Arnold as writers who could address mass culture in plain language yet with deep, critical intelligence.) And he proposes that multiculturalism may be little more than a last ditch attempt at differentiation within the one, dominant culture. "What is to be done?" he asks after cataloguing this state of affairs. "The question, routinely addressed to all critics, insists on a practicality inimical to utopianism. Nothing is to be done. Yet that does not mean nothing is to be thought or imagined or dreamed." The End of Utopia shows to what extent the dreams have been abandoned, with the means of rekindling them yet within grasp. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
This is the first book I read that has so many terms of "-ism". For readers who do not major in social sciences and humanities and are confused by enduring debates over these -isms, this book serves as a good introduction to the nuanced distinctions among ...

评分语言犀利,批判至深。对现今社会有很好的洞察,值得读的书。但作者的论点你不一定同意,但对世界的描述,尤其从自身所处的典型的资本主义来对资本主义神话来的论调,让对之向往的自由主义者和民主青年们不禁冷汗一身,无奈的多元文化,虚无的意识形态,和同化带来灭亡····...
评分拉塞尔·雅各比新闻记者式的文风的确让人讨厌,不过,他的书我总是读的。雅各比擅长综合各方面的意见,搜集材料的功夫过硬,尽管不大懂权衡辨析;他的书作为资料长编来看,并不差。TheEndofUtopia一书我前几年读过一遍,印象不错,至少比他后来那本《不完美的图像》要充实一...
评分一种奇怪的误解迷住了工人阶级,这种误解就是对劳动的热爱,即对于劳动的狂热激情。工人阶级不应该把劳动当宗教,而应该要求“懒惰的权利”(the Rights of Laziness),比如,将劳动限制在3小时(呵呵,在托马斯•莫尔那里还是每天6小时呢),白天其他的时间都用来休闲和飨...
