'No one can write a man's life except himself.' In his Confessions Jean-Jacques Rousseau tells the story of his life, from the formative experience of his humble childhood in Geneva, through the achievement of international fame as novelist and philosopher in Paris, to his wanderings as an exile, persecuted by governments and alienated from the world of modern civilization. In trying to explain who he was and how he came to be the object of others' admiration and abuse, Rousseau analyses with unique insight the relationship between an elusive but essential inner self and the variety of social identities he was led to adopt. The book vividly illustrates the mixture of moods and motives that underlie the writing of autobiography: defiance and vulnerability, self-exploration and denial, passion, puzzlement, and detachment. Above all, Confessions is Rousseau's search, through every resource of language, to convey what he despairs of putting into words: the personal quality of one's own existence.
【按语:卢梭的《忏悔录》第一部(卷1-6)完成于1767年,第二部(卷7-12)完成于1770年。前者发表于1782年,后者发表于1789年。 1、卢梭的《忏悔录》无异于18世纪法国的一幅社会画卷。首先提供了18世纪早期日内瓦地区、法国、意大利北部地区一幅祥和温馨的社会图景:16岁的少...
评分我觉得看《忏悔录》,不要像狗仔队一样,去发掘卢梭的秘密,更不要先入为主去评论到底他忏悔到什么程度。 人内心都有一个稍微变化了的自我。特别是喜欢想象的卢梭,他忏悔的,更多是他内心中的自己,与现实可能会有出入,有时也兜兜转转似在自辩。不过这些都不能抹杀卢梭思想...
评分在《忏悔录》第一部中,卢梭着重提到了三位人生导师,其中包括三大方面的教育:道德教育、知识教育、情感教育。 道德教育来自于格姆先生。他“为人正直,头脑聪明”,根据丰富的阅历及对人生的感悟,教给卢梭“一些道德规范与至理名言”,包括如何认识自己、安分守己、如何保...
评分好象卢梭只是在说他的人生中一些很平常的经历,当我把它跟我的生活联系起来时,我发现,书中所说的每一句话都是至理名言,卢梭所说的每一件事都是现实里无可避免的,里面所说的每一张丑恶的面孔在现实里都存在,每一句真诚的忏悔都是心声,但不是每个人都有这样的勇气说或写出...
