具体描述
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.

读后感
三天空闲时间全给了《匠人》，不因为难读，是太有趣。如果给这书加个副标题，正经一点可以叫“有关匠人的各种正传野史趣闻轶事”，文艺范儿可以叫“从今天起，关心服装、电路板和烤鱼”，亲近年轻人可以叫“人人都是半兽人”，取悦妇人可以叫“育儿乃匠艺之母”，从叙述手...
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...
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...
评分文/呆呆 图/来自网络 “我特别感谢哲学家理查德·福利。有段时间的我研究毫无进展，他问我：‘你的指导思想是什么？’ 我当时脱口而出：‘制造就是思考。’”——《匠人》致谢部分 一、双手和大脑的分离 今天，“匠人精神”是一个在畅销书架和名人演讲中常常出现的词汇...
评分当艺术鉴赏一再贬低匠气，抬高灵性，我们似乎忘了，发端于实用主义的艺术史最早是由工匠们挑大梁的。今天，我们戴着有色眼镜，把那些重复机械化劳动的工人视为不会思考的机器。社会学家理查德·桑内特却将他们和艺术家、作家、科学家一样称为“匠人”，且认为，匠人才是改变世...

这本书的最后一句话，这么多年，一直回闪到我的脑中，来点醒我：proud of his work if not of himself, is the most dignified person we can become. 惊为天人！
评分第一本三天之内看完的英语书，居然是为了学术需求……以后这样啃书的日子还有很多，加油……
