Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place. But dissatisfaction with the modern world may also spring from a conviction that modernism has failed to confront the challenge of an inevitably open future. Such conviction has frequently led to a critique of modernity's founding heroes. Challenging that critique, Harries insists that modernity is supported by nothing other than human freedom.
But more important to Harries is to show how modernist self-assertion is shadowed by nihilism and what it might mean to step out of that shadow. Looking at a small number of medieval and Renaissance texts, as well as some paintings, he uncovers the threshold that separates the modern from the premodern world. At the same time, he illuminates that other, more questionable threshold, between the modern and the postmodern.
Two spirits preside over the book: Alberti, the Renaissance author on art and architecture, whose passionate interest in perspective and point of view offers a key to modernity; and Nicolaus Cusanus, the fifteenth-century cardinal, whose work shows that such interest cannot be divorced from speculations on the infinity of God. The title Infinity and Perspective connects the two to each other and to the shape of modernity.

读后感
序 2018圣诞节当天，上完了这学期科学思想史名著精读的最后一堂课，《无限与视角》的阅读也再次告一段落。在待了十几年的老地方，节日自然是没什么好过的，或许不如写书评，但想想圣诞夜仍在图书馆码字，多少又有点悲催。 未来几年，这恐怕都是与知识为伴的宿命。 《无限与视角...
评分事实上Koyré和法国物理学家、历史学家Pierre Duhem可以被视为在近代科学革命中的两个对立面，前者淡化了库萨的尼古拉而强调哥白尼本身的革命性，后者强调一种连贯性，比如Duhem 在《le système du monde 》中对亚里士多德到伽利略之间的物理学做出了三个阶段的区分：首先是亚...
评分Karsten Harries以视角原理（principle of perspective）为主线，把世界看成一座剧场：你买了哪个位置的票，你就受这个位置所提供的视角的束缚。不过，事情也绝非仅此而已。一方面，Harries认为，要破除绝对的逻各斯中心主义所带来的价值、意义无涉，这容易遁入相对主义或虚无...
评分这本书里的思想非常复杂，没办法理出线性的逻辑关系，书中谈到的各种思想源流呈网状联系，看完书之后，摘抄出来划线的段落集中起来看，仍然是一脸懵逼。。。读了几十年书了也算是头一次遇到这样的情况，各章之间，前后章节都有联系，随随便便就能理出一些逻辑线索。 作者的厉...
评分昨天刚刚跟一个朋友聊到上帝与科学的关系，便看到了这本书，直观扼要，而且剥去了专业范畴的概念，使用了普遍性的词语，我们每一个人都可能读明白，或者至少有些收获。 西方科技发展的进程一直伴随着宗教的演变，它们有相同的老祖宗，或者说宗教是科学发源的前提。正是基督对人...

难。。。
评分究竟是不是希腊的科学
评分可能是因为这仅仅是我第二次接触科学史的主题，震动还挺大的。condemnation 1277 那段讨论有些醍醐灌顶的感觉。最后尾声那里写得真动人呀。
评分晚期海德格尔～作者已退休。耶鲁哲学系网站上有他的讲课稿，赶紧去下载
评分Harries argues that the overthrow of the limited and hierarchical medieval cosmos has its origin not in the new science of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo, but in rather simple speculations on the nature of perspective.
