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.

读后感
梁文道：我很不喜欢给人家开书单，但是我特别爱看人家开的书单，为什么呢？因为我总想在书单里面看看，是不是有些书我是听都没听过，读都没读过，然后我就看着书单在遐想，假如我读了它多好，我将来一定花时间去读，可是我们都知道，我们这辈子，绝对不可能按照那么多不同种类...
评分几乎每个普通读书人都曾尝试摘录成百上千自以为有用的句子或图片，然后任其被后续的积累封存。少数以学者或研究家自居的别有用心者会采用某种方式将其排列整理，试图从自创的谱系中发现不一样的东西。这其中有个别人深谙清单编制技巧，结合少量带有引导性的原创成分编纂成集，...
评分米洛拉德·帕维奇的《哈扎尔辞典》在翁贝托·艾柯看来，无疑是一份清单，这本小说里曾提到“名词比动词高贵”，但何以如此却语焉不详。毫无疑问，无论名词是不是很高贵，人类产生的第一本辞典一定是本名词辞典，而任何一本辞典首先肯定是一份清单。翁贝托·艾柯受卢浮宫之约，...
评分原以为艾柯这本《无限清单》只是一本论述清单意义的书，读过发现这本书就是无限清单的本体呈现，我想，艾柯写此书的想法一定是：我的博学终于派上用场，哈哈哈。 再回头看艾柯写此书的源起：「卢浮宫邀请我挑选一个主题来筹办一系列会议、展览、公开朗读、音乐会、电影，我毫不...
评分熟悉艾柯的人只要看一眼《无限的清单》的目录，一定会对书的内容猜到几分：他一定又是从“清单”这个概念或者说这个词条大做文章，尽情地把自己百科全书式的聪明劲儿发挥出来，既是秉承了《美的历史》、《丑的历史》一类美学史的写作，更是一种“开单子”式高端大气有文化...

清宫的创新和收集癖正是an act of listing啊！
评分Bringing the idea of taxonomy to its structural fullness~
评分以 eco 的書來說，有點失望。太淺顯了。
评分Bringing the idea of taxonomy to its structural fullness~
评分尽管几乎每个单词都认识，但就是一句都没看懂啊！可能中文版还要琢磨一下才能明白，英文版就真的一窍不通啊！
