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.

美国计划创造第一批原子弹时,著名女哲学家汉娜•阿伦特便认为,工程师并非造物的主人,政治必须为体力劳动提供指导。她的老师,便是那位提出“诗意的栖居”的海德格尔,也是出于反对技术狂热创造这一名言。但是,她的学生,理查德•桑内特,却反向而行,提出了一种尊崇技...

看理查德•桑内特的《匠人》,总让我想起小时候。每逢佛诞,母亲便张罗着手做几个面饼,倒半锅油,生大火,炸出来的面饼卖相各一黄滋滋的,各样口味都有。尽管母亲的手艺令人垂涎三尺,但作为小孩子的我,仍然羡慕邻居灶不生烟去小卖铺里买回来的蛋黄派。直到今日,我才初初...

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...

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

文章写完,这书读了一半。“匠人的自觉”

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。
