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
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8 下半部分首先出现的，是一位返场选手——库萨的尼古拉。 前面说过，透视法显示人经由反思的“去中心”如何与“回到中心”相联系，思考上帝无限性所导致的“去中心”会引出人文主义的“回到中心”。而关键是，新得到的中心不再能自称为一个“绝对的中心”。这时候，中世纪人想...

评分序 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...

难。。。
评分究竟是不是希腊的科学
评分难。。。
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.
