Conservative historian Paul Johnson wears his ideology proudly on his sleeve in this often ruthless dissection of the thinkers and artists who (in his view) have shaped modern Western culture, having replaced some 200 years ago "the old clerisy as the guides and mentors of mankind." Taking on the likes of Karl Marx, Bertrand Russell, Lillian Hellman, and Noam Chomsky in turn, Johnson examines one idol after another and finds them all to have feet of clay. In his account, for instance, Ernest Hemingway emerges as an artistic hero who labored endlessly to forge a literary style unmistakably his own, but also as a deeply flawed man whose concern for the perfect phrase did not carry over to a concern for the women who loved him. Gossipy and sharply opinionated, Johnson's essay in cultural history spares no one.

Does it really matter that Henrik Ibsen was vain and arrogant, that Jean-Paul Sartre was incontinent? In Johnson's view, it does: these all-too-human foibles disqualify them, and other thinkers, from presuming to criticize the shortcomings of society. "Beware intellectuals," he concludes (though, given the subjects of his book, it seems he means intellectuals only of the left). "Not only should they be kept well away from the levers of power, they should also be objects of particular suspicion when they seek to offer collective advice." Whether one agrees or not, Johnson's profiles are frequently amusing and illuminating, as when he suggests that the only proletarian Karl Marx ever knew in person was the poor maid who worked for him for decades and was never paid, except in room and board, for her labors.

约翰逊的这本书与我们当今的“潮流”——鄙视知识分子,嘲笑高学历,颇有契合之处。比如,眼下网上常有人将教授戏称为“叫兽”,而大众媒体也的确不是披露某些教授的无耻言行。一个浮躁拜金的社会出现招摇撞骗、德行有亏的知识分子是在不足为奇。然而我们也不能以“一颗老...

蔡:這個社會對於知識份子有很多的期望,他們認為知識份子因為知道較多的事情、道理,受過比較多的教育,所以應該要活得比較像一個有尊嚴、有原則的人,實際上,台灣自己發生的事情,已經一再地證明了知識份子未必會做正確的抉擇,在很關鍵的時刻,他們比很多沒有受過知識教育...

终于读完了保罗·约翰逊(Paul Johnson)的《所谓的知识分子》(Intellectuals),这是一本“颠覆”之作,作者把笼罩在所谓的知识分子头上的光环抛开,把这些“人类的良心”放在聚光灯下,从个人生活的角度观察他们,从而揭露出他们华丽的外衣下藏着的“小”。 读这本书,首先...

书中很多人都是我其实很喜欢的,包括卢梭、雪莱、罗素、萨特和波伏瓦等。 也许正是因为很喜欢,所以并不惮看到约翰逊不留情面的批评。 有时候我们自己也很难区分清楚,自己究竟是喜欢一个人的思想,还是喜欢这个人所竖立的公众形象。 约翰逊的书,一方面给我们敲了警钟,不...

看完了保罗.约翰逊的《知识分子》。 这是一本专揭知识分子尤其是大知识分子短的书。作者详尽地展示和评说了卢梭、雪莱、易卜生、托尔斯泰、海明威、布莱希特、罗素、萨特、埃德蒙·威尔逊、维克多·高兰茨、莉莲·海尔曼等十多位人文知识分子不为常人所知的私生活。以往,这些...
