Review

The famous philosopher and author holds a compelling discussion on the evolution and cultural meanings of collecting and list-making.

Product Description

Best-selling author and philosopher Umberto Eco is currently resident at the Louvre, and his chosen theme of study is "the vertigo of lists." Reflecting on this enormous trove of human achievements, in his lyrical intellectual style he has embarked on an investigation of the phenomenon of cataloging and collecting. This book, featuring lavish reproductions of artworks from the Louvre and other world-famous collections, is a philosophical and artistic sequel to Eco’s recent acclaimed books, History of Beauty and On Ugliness, books in which he delved into the psychology, philosophy, history, and art of human forms. Eco is a modern-day Diderot, and here he examines the Western mind’s predilection for list-making and the encyclopedic. His central thesis is that in Western culture a passion for accumulation is recurring: lists of saints, catalogues of plants, collections of art. This impulse has recurred through the ages from music to literature to art. Eco refers to this obsession itself as a "giddiness of lists" but shows how in the right hands it can be a "poetics of catalogues." From medieval reliquaries to Andy Warhol’s compulsive collecting, Umberto Eco reflects in his inimitably inspiring way on how such catalogues mirror the spirit of their times.

这两天刚学会一个新词“负面清单”,这份自贸区清单的多寡与开放的程度成反比。而正面清单,这时候反倒成了一种束缚,它只规定了哪些事情是可以做的,规定之外还有着无限的可能。所以,从张之洞的书目答问到施蛰存推荐庄子文选,不免引来鲁迅先生的不满。也可见清单之难。 但...
