Shop Class as Soulcraft brings alive an experience that was once quite ordinary, but now seems to be receding over the cultural horizon—the experience of making and fixing things. Working with your hands, as Mathew B. Crawford describes it, connects us to the world around us. Those of us who sit in an office often have intuitions of something gone amiss, a sense of unreality accompanied by feelings of impotence. What, after all, do we do all day? In this wholly original debut, Crawford offers a brief for self-reliance and a sustained reflection on this problem: how to live concretely in an ever more abstract world. Shop Class as Soulcraft seeks to restore the honor of the manual trades as a life worth choosing for anyone who felt hustled off to college, then to the cubicle, against their own inclinations and natural bents. On both economic and psychological grounds, Crawford questions the educational imperative of turning everyone into a “knowledge worker.” This imperative, he explains, is based on a misguided separation of thinking from doing, the work of the hand from that of the mind. Crawford shows in precise detail how such a partition, which began a century ago with the assembly line, degrades work for those on both sides of the divide.

But he offers good news as well: The manual trades are very different from factory work. They require a lot of thinking and may even give rise to moments of genuine pleasure. Based on his own experience as an electrician and mechanic, Crawford makes a case for the intrinsic satisfactions and cognitive challenges— the soulcraft—of manual work. The work of builders and mechanics cannot be outsourced. They tie us to the local communities in which we live and instill the pride that comes from doing work that is genuinely useful.

Speaking squarely to a culture that continues to grapple for a way to reconcile work and life and to find fulfilling work of all stripes, Shop Class as Soulcraft offers inspired social criticism and deep personal exploration. It will change your understanding of the value of work and the work of bringing value and meaning to your life, whatever you do now or hope to do one day.

修理工保持着一种“傲慢的专业性”与解决摩托漏油现象背后的“偏执的问题”,源生出锤子T2发布会的主题-傲慢的偏执。而海德格尔的名言“要了解锤子,不是盯着看看就可以,而是要拿起来用”是老罗整场精彩演讲的点睛之笔。这些都是来自《摩托车修理店的未来哲学》这本书。所以写...

看完本书,没有激情澎湃。说实话有很多不明白的地方,不知道是自己跟不上书本节奏还是太高深了。不过就一个道理是真的:追寻自己想要的生活。不过其他的什么理论,辩证就着实看不懂了。或许是自己思想太浅了,是在没法明白这本书。

拿到这本小书,首先映入眼帘的是书皮上一辆红色的宝马摩托,背景是一间简陋的工作间。 醒目的白色标题告诉人们这并不是一本摩托车修理手册,而是对人生的又一次哲思。 当时所以选了这册名字怪怪的小书,多半是被作者的背景所吸引。一个名校芝大毕业的政治学博士,依然放弃...

2014年5月,我去到一家新的创业公司工作,负责文案撰写,此前我在一家门户网站做网络编辑。那份工作我做了两年多,到最后感觉整个人都枯竭了,好像所有的灵感、创造力都被掏空了,自己成了空心人。每次坐在办公桌前,等着下班的终点快点到来,等到发工资的时候,我为自己拿到的...

啊我没有看完,看了几页就觉得很蠢了。水管工再挣钱so what 呢,我就喜欢享受买别人服务的快乐啊

我觉得这本书是相当好看的,欧洲的名字是‘为什么办公室工作对我们是不好的,而修理东西和动手弄东西是好的’。这本书直接扣问现在人们在service economy下作为knowledge worker的生存状态,以及扣问我们现在的教育制度that value knowledge work。我们与我们使用的物体被alienation是不对的。读起来,可以看到作者深入浅出,引用了很多社会学等大家的观点和文字,但是用很简单的语言表达出来(这才对嘛!简单了,很多人读了,知识和观点传播了,才有意义嘛)。

想辞职又不知道能做什么/这本书豆瓣评分这么低真是让人怀疑豆瓣读书的是不是都是手不沾阳春水的文青

评分

感觉是对建立在实物和个人之间的institution的批判,最后还要建设性地畅想一下自由人社会的样子~有些思考很好,但是他的个人经历太难relate,又喜欢把简单的问题化为长篇论述加上哲学词语,不是很好读。

评分

究竟有多少喜欢修摩托车的哲学家...书写风格太像在写哲学论文,语法复杂生僻词用得多,读起来有点累。亲手劳作带来的自我价值并不是什么新鲜主题。觉得有意思的一些论述:教育系统中劳动教育缺失的后果,蓝领工作如何帮助构建一个社会的道德体系
