This book seeks to develop a new agenda for the centre-left. During the 1990's, left of centre governments or coalitions came into power in the US, many of the European Union countries, and in societies elsewhere too. The modernisation of social democracy was crucial to these successes - all centre-left parties that came to power revised and updated their traditional doctrines. Recent years have seen the widespread return of the right to power, coupled to the prominence of far right parties in many countries.
The centre-left must respond. Third-way thinking was a major source of ideological renewal, but today we must move beyond the political formulae of the 1990s.
The authors represented in this volume show how. The papers included were prepared for the summit of progressive leaders held in July 2003. All have been written by leading experts in their fields. In his extensive introduction, Anthony Giddens draws the threads together to sketch a powerful and novel left-centre political approach.
The book includes contributors from John Kay, Folke Schuppert, Tom Berntley, David Halpern, G?sta Esping-Andersen, Nicola Rossi, David Held, Mary Kaldor, Rebecca Willis and James Wilsdon.
Formerly Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science, Anthony Giddens is a leading contributor to political debate around the world. He is the author of numverous widely acclaimed works including The Third Way (1998) and The Third Way and its Critics (2000).

这本书的阅读体验是极其不稳定的,时而令人心潮澎湃,时而又陷入深沉的怀疑之中。作者似乎拥有某种魔力,能将最枯燥的制度分析变得充满戏剧张力。有一段关于信息流动的分析,简直像是一部悬疑小说的高潮部分,层层递进,直到揭示出权力的真正运作枢纽。我发现自己不得不经常停下来,不是因为我不明白,而是因为我太明白了,那些在日常生活中被忽略的细微之处,在作者的笔下被放大了无数倍,显露出它们可怕的结构性意义。这本书的独特之处在于,它不仅仅批判,它更像是在搭建一个全新的认知框架,邀请读者入住。它不提供廉价的答案,而是提供了一套更精密的工具来提问。对于那些在思想迷宫中寻找方向的人来说,这本书无疑是一份珍贵的地图,尽管地图本身绘制的路径可能崎岖难行,但它指引的方向却是清晰且毫不妥协的。我个人认为,这本书的价值远超其作为一本“政治读物”的范畴,它更像是一部关于现代人存在困境的寓言。
评分这本书简直是思想的饕餮盛宴,我仿佛被卷入了一场宏大的辩论之中。作者对现有社会结构和权力运作的剖析入木三分,那种冷静而又充满激情的笔触,让人在阅读的过程中不断地反思自身所处的环境。特别是关于公共领域的重建那一章,简直是振聋发聩,他没有简单地停留在批判的层面,而是构建了一个极具操作性和启发性的未来图景。我特别欣赏他引用了那些看似毫不相干的历史案例,却能精准地穿透时弊,揭示出某种永恒的人性弱点和制度缺陷。读完之后,我感觉自己像是经历了一次彻底的智力“排毒”,那些过去深信不疑的陈词滥调,此刻在脑海中都变得摇摇欲坠。这不仅仅是一本关于政治哲学的书,它更像是一本现代人精神觉醒的指南,指引着我们如何带着清醒的头脑去面对一个日益复杂的现实世界。文字的密度极高,需要反复咀嚼才能体会其间的深意,但这份挑战性恰恰是它价值的体现,因为它拒绝迎合任何轻松的理解方式,要求读者拿出真正的思考诚意。
评分翻开这本书,第一感觉是作者的视野之广阔令人惊叹,简直就像是站在一个极高的山巅俯瞰整个文明的脉络。他将经济学理论、社会心理学观察和历史变迁无缝地编织在一起,形成了一张密不透风的论证之网。我尤其喜欢他对“进步”这一概念的解构,他没有将其浪漫化,而是将其置于一个充满张力的历史情境中进行审视,揭示了每次所谓的“进步”背后往往隐藏着新的、更隐蔽的压迫形式。这种审视是残酷的,但却是极其必要的。语言风格上,这本书展现了一种近乎古典学者的严谨,每一个论点都有充分的例证支撑,没有一句空话或夸张的修辞,全靠逻辑的力量推动。对于那些厌倦了流于表面的口号式论述的读者来说,这本书提供了一种久违的、扎实的智识体验。它强迫你正视那些令人不适的真相,并思考我们究竟愿意为我们所宣称的理想付出多大的代价。读罢,我感到了一种深刻的、近乎哲人般的孤独感,因为你已经看到了太多,而周围的人似乎还沉睡未醒。
评分我必须承认,这本书的阅读过程充满了智力上的“疼痛”,但这种疼痛是令人愉悦的,因为它意味着头脑正在被有效激活。作者对于技术异化和社会原子化的论述,简直是为我过去几年模糊的观察提供了一套精确的科学语言。他没有使用那种煽动性的、让人热血沸腾的语言,而是采用了一种近乎冷酷的、外科手术般的精确度来剖开社会的肌理。我尤其欣赏他对时间观念的探讨,他指出现代社会如何通过加速主义的逻辑,偷走了我们对未来的掌控感。这种对时间维度的深入挖掘,让全书的立意拔高了一个层次,不再局限于眼前的政策争论。这本书的排版和注释也体现出一种匠人精神,每一个脚注都可能引出另一个值得深入探索的知识领域,使得阅读体验具有极强的“发散性”。它不是一本让你合上后就抛诸脑后的书,它会像种子一样在你潜意识中发芽,不断地在后续的日常观察中引发回响。
评分这本书给我的感觉是,作者像一个经验丰富的老水手,在暴风雨来临前,冷静地向我们描绘海图上那些被现代人遗忘的暗礁和洋流。它避开了所有当下流行的政治标签和意识形态的窠臼,而是从更深层的哲学和人类学角度切入。我花了很大精力去理解他关于“共享意志”构建的部分,那里的论述极其精妙,它不再探讨什么是“对”的政策,而是探讨如何才能构建一个真正有效的、具有集体行动能力的“我们”。这种视角上的转换是革命性的。作者的叙事节奏把握得炉火纯青,时而缓慢沉思,时而迅疾有力,如同交响乐的高低起伏。这本书的伟大之处在于,它不仅挑战了我们对现状的理解,更重要的是,它为我们提供了一种超越性(transcendence)的可能性,一种不以现有权力结构为前提的未来想象。读完后,我不再仅仅是一个被动的社会观察者,我开始更积极地去思考我在这个结构中可以占据和创造的空间。
