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.

《无限的清单》原文Vertigine Della Lista直译应该是The Vertigo of Lists,而事实上在翻阅书里头各式各样的名单时,很难不让人感到眩晕。 从作者翁贝托·艾柯的〈导论〉可以清楚了解这本书的由来:“罗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...

这本书本身就是一本清单。 当然,仔细追究起来阅读每本书都如同阅读一本清单目录。唯一不同的是,意大利作家翁贝托•艾柯编著的这本《无限的清单》就如同把我们原来阅读时的千头万绪整理成了一种有秩序的清单,并且用这份清单互相指涉文学史无数的清单文学。而对我们的阅读行...

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...

1964年,32岁的艾柯给儿子斯蒂芬诺写了一封信,刊载于文学杂志《Il Verri》的“小记事”(Diario Minimo)专栏。信中,他用将近两页的篇幅,一口气列举了58种枪械、刀剑、战斧、长矛……结束时还意犹未尽地感叹:“许许多多的武器。这些...
