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.
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...

評分序 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...

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。
