Karsten Harries is Professor of Philosophy at Yale University.
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.
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...
評分《无限与视角》是科学源流译丛第十种,也是唯一一本让我读得犯困的,出于对这套书的尊重,好歹总算读完了。 看得出张卜天对此书非常欣赏,但我实在读不下去。 尤其最后一章,作者推崇什么“宇宙心智学”,简直笑话一样,对宇宙探索,对登月,给出如此科盲式的所谓哲学思辨。 再...
評分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...

可能是因為這僅僅是我第二次接觸科學史的主題,震動還挺大的。condemnation 1277 那段討論有些醍醐灌頂的感覺。最後尾聲那裏寫得真動人呀。
评分哲學傢Harries寫過《建築的倫理功能》,此書是從Cusanus那令今人震驚的世界觀、上帝觀、多中心論講起,從of learned ignorance講到當時天主教教會的改革,然後進入到亞裏士多德的宇宙論,從而看到為何Cusanus描述的世界視角,既具有連續性,又具有革命性。。。。然後,纔是阿爾伯蒂、Ficino哥白尼。。。。。。不是建築史,也不是簡單的透視史,而是從透視開始的神學哲學史。
评分難。。。
