Nations and Nationalism pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
British philosopher, anthropologist and sociologist, self-described Enlightenment rationalist fundamentalist, born to Czech parents in Paris and raised in Prague, where he lived the last few years of his life, and died in 1995. He received a very thorough training in the Wittgensteinian "linguistic" or "ordinary language" philosophy fashionable in Britain (and more particularly Oxford) in the '50s, and found himself quite unable to believe it, so he ran away to become an anthropologist, and studied the Berbers because a mountaineering group at the London School of Economics organized a trip to the Atlas. His first book, Words and Things (1959; preface by Russell, to whom he dedicated his second book) combined a crushing philosophical critique of linguistic philosophy with a sociological analysis of "the narodniks of North Oxford", "an intelligentsia without ideas." It was at once a succès de scandale (probably the only kind Gellner wanted, frankly) and the first real demonstration of his style: a devastating, hilarious combination of learning and intellectual seriousness with verbal play and irreverence, in particular an almost uncanny talent for finding apt, mocking names for things and ideas.

Nationalism is one of the most powerful forces in the modern world, yet it is surprisingly little studied and only imperfectly understood, either by its adherents or its opponents. Its irruption into the modern world is often explained as a resurgence of primitive, atavistic instincts, or as a delusion fostered by a few theoreticians, politicians or propagandists.
The present volume interprets nationalism in terms of its social roots, which it locates in industrial social organization. A society that aims for affluence and economic growth, Professor Gellner argues, depends on innovation, occupational mobility, mass media, universal literacy, and education in a shared, standard idiom. Taken together these transform the relationship between culture and the state. The functioning of the society depends on an all-embracing educational system, tied to one culture and protected by a state identified with that culture. The principle one state, one culture makes itself felt, and political units which do not conform to it feel the strain in the form of nationalist activity. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

正好写了reading memo就贴上来（说明如果不是要交作业我根本读书不认真，然而就算要交作业我还是读的不认真……） Gellner写得好，我写得垃圾，有缘点进来的旁友随便康康就好。 Main Arguments: From agrarian society to industrial society, the economic, social, cultural ...
評分作者：西闪 □思想光谱 有人说，民族是一个不证自明的实体。也有人讲，民族是一个想像的共同体。这两种说法巧妙地避开了为民族下一个确切的定义。因为人们发现，民族是一个如此难以把握的对象。尽管语言、人种、领土、宗教或者文化等因素被用来定义民族，但都无法...

我的師祖Gellner先生。
评分以功能主義的視角理解國傢主義的形成。作者批評馬剋思的簡化，但自己似乎也同樣過於側重工業化，將經濟轉變視為教育、意識形態等轉變的原動力。那麼那些至今仍然以農業生産為主的國傢，他們的國傢主義情感如何理解呢？中國近代的民族主義似乎也不建立在基於工業化需求産生的同質化的國傢教育上。當然或許是我的誤讀漏讀？
评分是我現在為止最喜歡的有關民族主義的讀本。對Ernest的文字有著天然的喜愛。
评分Introduction: conceptual, empirical and explanatory criticisms. 在理。23, nationalism emerged in the transition from agrarian society to industrial one. Functionalist analysis. 一種可能性：提到的要素（eg. mass education）轉化成解釋民族主義起源的其他理論，跳脫結構主義框架。#w2
评分非常functionalism的作品，但也很philosophical。nationalism theory裏麵比較經典的作品瞭。
