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.

Just thought-provoking and vision-expanding. A great heuristic!Three types of material consciousness; an argument against Arendt's negative/simplified notion of labor in her political theory; a loosely historical and sociological work situated in pragmatism with a contributing concept of "the craft of experience" within this school of thoughts.

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

评分文章写完,这书读了一半。“匠人的自觉”
匠人的本质,竭尽全力把一件事情做好,追求尽善尽美是因为对这件事本身充满热情。一种为了把事情做好而把事情做好的欲望。 现代企业的激励手段,不论是道德说教,还是竞争激励,都属于外在手段,不能唤起匠人内心的激情。 # 现代匠人面对的三大麻烦 动力不足 过去匠人工作自由...
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《匠人》这本书信息超载,很难总结,让人浮想联翩。 在工作中学到一个词汇,叫“以终为始”,以结果倒推工作要求。这是一个听起来行之有效的管理方法。这种“不问过程的功利”,正是《匠人》想要探讨的,可能会对“大脑”造成伤害,同时想要反复证明——“不问结果的专注”之...
评分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...
