Editorial Reviews
From The New Yorker
Sennett considers an array of artisans across different periods, from ancient Chinese chefs to contemporary mobile-phone designers, in this powerful meditation on the "skill of making things well." The template of craftsmanship, he finds, combines a "material consciousness" with a willingness to put in years of practice (a common estimate of the time required to master a craft is ten thousand hours) and a strategic acceptance of ambiguity, rather than an obsessive perfectionism. Sennett’s aim is to make us rethink the notion that society benefits most from a workforce trained to respond to the metamorphoses of a global economy. Ultimately, he writes, the difficulties and possibilities of craft can teach "techniques of experience" that help us relate to others, and lead to an "ethically satisfying" pride in one’s work.

Review
"As Richard Sennett makes clear in this lucid and compelling book, craftsmanship once connected people to their work by conferring pride and meaning. The loss of craftsmanship-and of a society that values it-has impoverished us in ways we have long forgotten but Sennett helps us understand."-Robert B. Reich, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley, and author of Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Robert B. Reich )
Product Description
Defining craftsmanship far more broadly than “skilled manual labor,” Richard Sennett maintains that the computer programmer, the doctor, the artist, and even the parent and citizen engage in a craftsman’s work. Craftsmanship names the basic human impulse to do a job well for its own sake, says the author, and good craftsmanship involves developing skills and focusing on the work rather than ourselves. In this thought-provoking book, one of our most distinguished public intellectuals explores the work of craftsmen past and present, identifies deep connections between material consciousness and ethical values, and challenges received ideas about what constitutes good work in today’s world.
The Craftsman engages the many dimensions of skill—from the technical demands to the obsessive energy required to do good work. Craftsmanship leads Sennett across time and space, from ancient Roman brickmakers to Renaissance goldsmiths to the printing presses of Enlightenment Paris and the factories of industrial London; in the modern world he explores what experiences of good work are shared by computer programmers, nurses and doctors, musicians, glassblowers, and cooks. Unique in the scope of his thinking, Sennett expands previous notions of crafts and craftsmen and apprises us of the surprising extent to which we can learn about ourselves through the labor of making physical things.

上篇重新定義craftsman,討論中世紀至文藝復興工房的轉變(兼論技術與藝術的關係)、機器的出現和三種物質意識。中篇討論crafts的步驟,從指頭開始,到craftsman思考、利用工具推進craft,壓力和改進過程前境不明確如何促使craft改進。下篇說明環境怎樣迫使craftsman進步和craftsman的三種基礎能力。上、中篇比較好懂,啟發大,下篇不太明白。
评分好题目,好课题,在延续森奈特的一贯写法之外,算是写得比较潦草的一本。作为社会学家剖析手艺、匠作、艺人的历史条件,不乏洞见,却又不算深刻,说论证,又没有过程,说历史,又散得很。其中,有关“物质性意识”、“手的能力演化”、“匠作三种类型的突破方式”,都跟建筑有关联,其中谈到的van eyck的游戏场设计、盖里的毕尔巴鄂博物馆的表皮工业设计过程,以及把卢斯和维根斯坦对待建筑得态度所做的对比,倒是跟建筑直接有关。书中,特别批判了西方城市规划师多会设计中心,不会设计边缘,多会设计实在的隔离的墙,却不会设计穿越的界面

大约半年前刚刚用某种实用主义把自己从理智主义、灵性论的大坑里拯救出来,但还是无法说服自己成为一个匠人(俗称搬砖狗)(但又必须承认自己只是庸人一个,于是造成了不少分裂的痛苦),而且也没意识到匠人和创造者的区别也是实践与理论、经验与自然的二元对立的一部分,是一...
评分一、手艺人的悲剧 随着工业发展和物质文化的迅速崛起,机器生产逐步代替了人力手工,脑力劳动凌驾在体力劳动之上,经济价值高于一切,在瞬息万变又精彩万千的大时代中,美食、美景、建筑、艺术、文明等美好事物以从未有过的速度直达每个人眼前,为了追求美好的生活,人们的追求...

评分我以为这是一本类似于《东京根岸下町职人生活》的书。在没有拿到本书前因为工作关系读到的片段又是书的第六章关于“阿尔比费拉鸡”菜谱的那一节,它更坚定了我关于这是一本呈现西方匠人精神的书的判断。 理查德·桑内特的《匠人》,当然不是如我所臆想的一本书。这是一本试图抹...
评分推荐桑内特的《匠人》这本书的文字中,我在文末留了一个尾子——力推第二部分第六章“形象的说明书”,我觉得这是最好的“文案撰写说明书”。这一章确实值得单独写一篇推荐。 1、语言很难描绘身体动作,指导性语言和身体之间存在着巨大的鸿沟,这是我们看说明书抓狂的根本原因...
