Letters to a Young Contrarian pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A witty, wise, biting, and completely individual meditation on what it means to think, live, and be to the contrary.
"Art of Mentoring" series
In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.
This book explores the entire range of "contrary positions"-from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt. In an age of overly polite debate bending over backward to reach a happy consensus within an increasingly centrist political dialogue, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast.
He bemoans the loss of the skills of dialectical thinking evident in contemporary society. He understands the importance of disagreement-to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress-heck, to democracy itself. Epigrammatic, spunky, witty, in your face, timeless and timely, this book is everything you would expect from a mentoring contrarian.

(2013.43)一年前看见这书八成会奉为人生哲学的新高峰什么的,现在就是觉得非常带感又非常舞扎~ 高端说教什么的最有爱了,但现在已经无法满足我了,还是要转战纯科学啊~(扭)不过CH其人的确很有趣啊,文青应该让他火起来啊~~~
评分not as good as his debates in blood & flesh & actual voice...slightly repetitive/pretentious...D Murray is better in writing but less bold, Hitchens is really passionate & darn smart but this book is more casual
评分Doubt everything, and these words too. I am reminded of Nietzsche's Homo Ecce - "and who is Nietzsche, that you should believe him?"

(转自《经济观察报》,云也退先生的书评) 我很尊敬《查理周刊》的漫画家们,不是因为他们画了给自己惹来杀身大祸的那些漫画。前些天,在得知这份杂志订户猛增,全球销量数百万份时,正巧看到一幅漫画:云端立着男男女女五个人,下边的大地上,每个人拿着一份画报。五个人都很...
评分《致一位“愤青”的信》,读书名还以为是本规劝的书,我正想着要息息怒,学学如何处世,没想非但没有得逞,还被引得火上浇油,因为作者说:“我只有一次生命要度过,所以我一分钟也不愿意花在作某种抑郁的妥协上。” 他认为: 1、必须怀疑一切。一个人认为是正确的东西,无论是...
评分不看看真愤青,怎么好意思继续开喷?是独立思考为民请命家国大事舍我其谁还是手持键盘天下我有卧龙凤雏时不我待?强烈推荐给各位愤青和键盘侠读读,看看你到底是激进派,异见者,反对派,公知还是自以为是的乌合之众。当你感觉自己被压抑被束缚,当你胸中无限恨不得不喷,来学...
评分 评分对非理性保持警惕,不管它多诱人。远离“超验”和那些邀请你服从或自毁的人。提防同情心;对于你自己和他人来说,都是尊严更为可取。不要怕别人觉得你傲慢或自私。把所有的专家都看成哺乳动物。对于不公正和愚昧永远不要旁观。寻求论述和争辩不需要额外的理由;坟墓里有足够的...
