Shop Class as Soulcraft brings alive an experience that was once quite ordinary, but now seems to be receding over the cultural horizon—the experience of making and fixing things. Working with your hands, as Mathew B. Crawford describes it, connects us to the world around us. Those of us who sit in an office often have intuitions of something gone amiss, a sense of unreality accompanied by feelings of impotence. What, after all, do we do all day? In this wholly original debut, Crawford offers a brief for self-reliance and a sustained reflection on this problem: how to live concretely in an ever more abstract world. Shop Class as Soulcraft seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life worth choosing for anyone who felt hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents. On both economic and psychological grounds, Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a “knowledge worker.” This imperative, he explains, is based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing, the work of the hand from that of the mind. Crawford shows in precise detail how such a partition, which began a century ago with the assembly line, degrades work for those on both sides of the divide.

But he offers good news as well: The manual trades are very different from factory work. They require a lot of thinking and may even give rise to moments of genuine pleasure. Based on his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford makes a case for the intrinsic satisfactions and cognitive challenges— the soulcraft—of manual work. The work of builders and mechanics cannot be outsourced. They tie us to the local communities in which we live and instill the pride that comes from doing work that is genuinely useful.

Speaking squarely to a culture that continues to grapple for a way to reconcile work and life and to find fulfilling work of all stripes, Shop Class as Soulcraft offers inspired social criticism and deep personal exploration. It will change your understanding of the value of work and the work of bringing value and meaning to your life, whatever you do now or hope to do one day.

作者是学政治哲学的,原来在一家研究机构任职,虽然工资不菲,但是他感觉这份工资就像一份补偿金——为你每天的无聊工作而补偿你。读到这里,我不禁失笑:确实,如果你做一份自己不喜欢的工作,而领着不菲的薪水,除了犯罪感之外,每次拿到工资,你都感觉它不是你应得的,倒像...

拿到这本小书,首先映入眼帘的是书皮上一辆红色的宝马摩托,背景是一间简陋的工作间。 醒目的白色标题告诉人们这并不是一本摩托车修理手册,而是对人生的又一次哲思。 当时所以选了这册名字怪怪的小书,多半是被作者的背景所吸引。一个名校芝大毕业的政治学博士,依然放弃...

Crawford 在这本书中对 knowledge worker 工作实质的分析读来真的心有戚戚焉。不过按照他的分析,这类工作”弱智化“(dumbing down)恐怕是当代企业甚或是社会的系统问题,几乎无法避免。Crawford 本人逍遥遁入摩托车维修行,根本不关心还在干糟心工作的白领”我该怎么办“的问题。抛开试图解决问题的心态,读本书中 Crawford 的批判和分析只觉得酣畅。但如果还是想要入世,还是多看看 Cal Newport 比较好╮(╯▽╰)╭
