Compulsory ujamaa villages in Tanzania, collectivization in Russia, Le Corbusier's urban planning theory realized in Brasilia, the Great Leap Forward in China, agricultural "modernization" in the Tropics -- the twentieth century has been racked by grand utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? In this wide-ranging and original book, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not -- and cannot -- be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge. The author builds a persuasive case against "development theory" and imperialistic state planning that disregards the values, desires, and objections of its subjects. He identifies and discusses four conditions common to all planning disasters: administrative ordering of nature and society by the state; a "high-modernist ideology" that places confidence in the ability of science to improve every aspect of human life; a willingness to use authoritarian state power to effect large-scale interventions; and a prostrate civil society that cannot effectively resist such plans. "A broad-ranging, theoretically important, and empirically grounded treatment of the modern state and its propensity to simplify and make legible a society which by nature is complex and opaque. For anyone interested inlearning about this fundamental tension of modernity and about the destruction wrought in the twentieth century as a consequence of the dominant development ideology of the simplifying state, this is a must-read". -- Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, author of Hitler's Willing Executioners

很多examples和metaphors,語句也算優美,如果不那麼話嘮就完美瞭
評分Maggie安利,翻瞭翻
評分high-modernism, metis knowledge, on planning, conditions when mass-scale planning is possible. thin and thick city/plant.
評分high modernism的齣處
評分城市規劃和蘇聯集體化兩章很精彩,最後對metis的強調不僅話癆,而且跑題。因為政治權力推行的high modernism是多種不同的意識形態,既未必涉及知識,也未必是為瞭改善人類狀況。這不是認識論缺陷導緻的失察,而是政治鬥爭的結果。(全書莫名話癆,可能為瞭強化一種metis吧。)
“我在头脑里建造一座样板城市,可以按照她来演变出所有可能的城市来,”忽必烈说,“她包含一切符合常规的东西。鉴于现有的城市都或多或少偏离常规,我就只须预先料想到常规的种种例外,便能计算出它们最可能的组合形式来。” ...

評分这本书很有名,太有名了,但是我认真读之前没想到他竟然是这么坚定的无政府主义。 这本书前前后后批评了一大堆看上去没什么关联的东西,但是总起来看,其实就是批评了两件事,一是“认识论知识”或者说规范的正式知识的拥有者(也就是科学家们)对这些知识的盲目信任和对metis...
評分读《国家的视角》后 耶鲁大学的政治学和人类学教授James C.Scott的《国家的视角》一书,曾在十多年前被同事、同仁屡屡提起,彼时我还是一个NGO(公益组织)的一名专职员工,然而直到如今我才把这本书读完。读完之后,也刚好应了那句话:知识与实践刚好相结合起来。作为曾经在NG...
評分据说对技术的批评从老子就开始了,前卫的老子成为了两千年后与海德格尔遥相呼应的素心人,而中间这段浩浩荡荡的时间光谱里,只要你想得出,尽可以把姓氏字母从A到Z的人塞进去。不信?18世纪以来,仅举以B开头的——以赛亚•伯林(Isaiah Berlin),齐格蒙特•鲍曼(Zygmunt...
