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.

看完本书,没有激情澎湃。说实话有很多不明白的地方,不知道是自己跟不上书本节奏还是太高深了。不过就一个道理是真的:追寻自己想要的生活。不过其他的什么理论,辩证就着实看不懂了。或许是自己思想太浅了,是在没法明白这本书。

整本书核心观点就一个,「体力劳动与脑力劳动的结合,才是完整富有意义的工作体验」。 然而,过多对修理摩托车的细节描述,让我这个对摩托车一无所知的“文盲”表示完全看不懂且枯燥无味,如果能给出在修理过程中,通过什么样的思考过程让人体验到怎样的工作乐趣,或意义,会不...

看这本书最大的收获,在我看来,是近距离观察作者是如何在行动和写作中与他所读到的哲学互动的。其实对于“哲学对生活有什么用”这个问题,并没有给出一个明确的回答;回答隐藏在他的行动背后,隐藏在他的文字背后。 因此,如果读者对于书中提到的各种哲学家(比如亚里士多德...

充满了男性masculinity的味道,后半部分比前半部分堪读,想到当年工作时那种cubicle drone的感觉似曾相识,quit the job也算明智之举。

劝退佳作。

我觉得这本书是相当好看的,欧洲的名字是‘为什么办公室工作对我们是不好的,而修理东西和动手弄东西是好的’。这本书直接扣问现在人们在service economy下作为knowledge worker的生存状态,以及扣问我们现在的教育制度that value knowledge work。我们与我们使用的物体被alienation是不对的。读起来,可以看到作者深入浅出,引用了很多社会学等大家的观点和文字,但是用很简单的语言表达出来(这才对嘛!简单了,很多人读了,知识和观点传播了,才有意义嘛)。
