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.

评分文章写完,这书读了一半。“匠人的自觉”
评分汉娜阿伦特的学生,开篇对汉娜阿伦特的“平庸之恶”作出很犀利的批判——指出这可能是个精英要向工匠学习的年代。包含许多实用主义化的tim ingold的概念,如resistance&ambiguity一章便对应了ingold的being alive的第一章。论述例子多为建筑相关。

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...
评分如今,在媒体和社会的大肆渲染下,“匠人精神”俨然已成为时兴的热词。可仔细想想,我们之所以提“匠人精神”,是出于对高质量产品的崇拜,而我们对匠人本身又有多少关注呢?在本书中,我们看到的不再是对“匠人精神”浅薄地讴歌,而是对匠人群体与他们的匠艺工作的分析与思考...
