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.
Umberto Eco, semiotician at the University of Bologna, is widely known as one of the finest living authors whose best-selling novels include The Name of the Rose, Foucault’s Pendulum, The Island of the Day Before, and Baudolino.

评分梁文道: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...
