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.

用戶評價
還蠻有意思的一個 argument，認為現代社會的經濟結構-即工作的流動性促使 literary culture成為一個必要性的東西，以便人們可以更有能力去換工作，進行更為準確的溝通。而這一變化促使專門教育機構的形成，為 nationalism奠定瞭基礎
评分論述nationalism 的兩本經典，它和anderson的想象的共同體
评分論述nationalism 的兩本經典，它和anderson的想象的共同體
评分非常functionalism的作品，但也很philosophical。nationalism theory裏麵比較經典的作品瞭。
评分很多詬病沒有concrete examples或者過於schematic，隻是用當下流行眼光來看而已，找齣的那些“反例”通常都是過於superfacial...此書的洞見以及簡潔之美有誰懂
