A great book about an even greater book is a rare event in publishing. Darnton's history of the "Encyclopedie" is such an occasion. The author explores some fascinating territory in the French genre of "histoire du livre," and at the same time he tracks the diffusion of Enlightenment ideas. He is concerned with the form of the thought of the great philosophes as it materialized into books and with the way books were made and distributed in the business of publishing. This is cultural history on a broad scale, a history of the process of civilization. In tracing the publishing story of Diderot's "Encyclopedie," Darnton uses new sources--the papers of eighteenth-century publishers--that allow him to respond firmly to a set of problems long vexing historians. He shows how the material basis of literature and the technology of its production affected the substance and diffusion of ideas. He fully explores the workings of the literary market place, including the roles of publishers, book dealers, traveling salesmen, and other intermediaries in cultural communication. How publishing functioned as a business, and how it fit into the political as well as the economic systems of prerevolutionary Europe are set forth. The making of books touched on this vast range of activities because books were products of artisanal labor, objects of economic exchange, vehicles of ideas, and elements in political and religious conflict. The ways ideas traveled in early modern Europe, the level of penetration of Enlightenment ideas in the society of the Old Regime, and the connections between the Enlightenment and the French Revolution are brilliantly treated by Darnton. In doing so he unearths a double paradox. It was the upper orders in society rather than the industrial bourgeoisie or the lower classes that first shook off archaic beliefs and took up Enlightenment ideas. And the state, which initially had suppressed those ideas, ultimately came to favor them. Yet at this high point in the diffusion and legitimation of the Enlightenment, the French Revolution erupted, destroying the social and political order in which the Enlightenment had flourished. Never again will the contours of the Enlightenment be drawn without reference to this work. Darnton has written an indispensable book for historians of modern Europe.

评分日前在书店见到一本书,书名颇为吸引人:《启蒙运动的生意》(以下简称《生意》)。启蒙运动那样崇高的事业怎么会与“生意”联系在一起呢?的确,这种联系大大超出了人们一般的认识。 该书的《导言》说:“这是关于一部书的书。”它涉及如此广泛的问题:“启蒙运动这样伟大的...

《The Business of Enlightenment》这本书,在我阅读过程中,给我带来了一场深刻的思想洗礼。我一直对那些能够触及事物本质、揭示深层规律的书籍充满敬意,而这本书恰恰满足了我对深度探索的渴望。它以一种极其独特而富有远见的方式,将“商业”与“启蒙”这两个看似截然不同的概念,进行了深刻的融合,构建了一种全新的商业哲学。我尤其 appreciate the author's ability to draw parallels between the pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of business excellence. He argues that just as enlightenment involves a continuous process of learning, questioning, and self-discovery, so too should businesses strive for a similar mindset of innovation, adaptability, and ethical growth. This perspective challenges the notion of business as a static, profit-driven enterprise and instead frames it as a dynamic, evolving entity with the potential to contribute positively to the human experience. The book offers a powerful reminder that true success in business is not solely measured by financial returns, but also by the impact it has on individuals and society.
评分当我第一次看到《The Business of Enlightenment》这个书名时,我脑海中闪过无数个问号。商业?启蒙?这两个词语似乎天然地带着一种疏离感,一个关乎世俗的交易,一个指向超脱的境界。然而,正是这种潜在的冲突,激起了我极大的好奇心。我迫切地想知道,作者是如何跨越这两个看似遥远的领域,找到它们之间深刻的联系,甚至是一种共鸣。在阅读这本书的过程中,我惊喜地发现,作者并没有将“启蒙”视为一种遥不可及的理想,而是将其作为一种切实可行的商业战略,一种能够驱动企业实现可持续发展和深度价值创造的力量。他并没有回避商业世界的残酷竞争和利润压力,但却以一种更为高远的视角,指引读者去思考,如何在追求商业成功的同时,也能实现个体的成长和社会福祉。我尤其 impressed by the author's nuanced understanding of "enlightenment" in a business context. It's not about abandoning profit, but about redefining what constitutes success. He suggests that true enlightenment in business comes from understanding and fulfilling deeper human needs, fostering genuine connections, and contributing positively to the world. This perspective challenges the often-held belief that profit and purpose are mutually exclusive, offering instead a compelling vision of how they can be synergistic. I'm eager to delve deeper into his proposed frameworks for cultivating this enlightened approach.
评分《The Business of Enlightenment》这本书,在我阅读过程中,给我带来了前所未有的震撼。我一直在思考,究竟是什么样的力量,能够驱使一个人或者一个组织,在追求商业利益的同时,去关注更深层次的价值?是道德的约束,还是内在的觉醒?这本书似乎在告诉我,答案可能在于一种全新的商业范式,一种将“启蒙”视为核心驱动力的商业模式。我深切地感受到,作者在字里行间流露出的,不仅仅是对商业运作的深刻理解,更是一种对人类精神层面的关怀。他并没有回避商业世界残酷的现实,但却以一种超然的智慧,指引读者去探寻那些能够让商业活动变得更有意义、更有温度的道路。我尤其欣赏作者在论述中,并没有将“启蒙”简单地理解为一种抽象的哲学概念,而是将其具象化为一系列可操作的商业策略和思维模式。他似乎在强调,真正的“启蒙式商业”,并非是要企业放弃利润,而是要在追求利润的过程中,去发现和创造更多的价值,去激发员工的创造力,去满足消费者的深层需求,甚至去推动整个社会的进步。我开始尝试将书中的一些观点,与我日常接触到的商业现象进行对比和联系,我发现,那些真正能够长久保持生命力、赢得市场尊重的企业,往往都在某种程度上践行着“启蒙式商业”的理念,它们以独特的产品和服务,触动了消费者的情感,满足了他们的精神需求,从而建立起了超越物质层面的忠诚度。
评分说实话,当我捧起《The Business of Enlightenment》这本书时,我内心是抱有一丝怀疑的。毕竟,“商业”与“启蒙”这两个词放在一起,总会让人觉得有些牵强,甚至有些理想化。商业的本质不就是逐利吗?而启蒙又似乎是与世无争的精神追求。然而,正是这种潜在的矛盾,让我对这本书产生了浓厚的兴趣。我想知道,作者是如何将这两者巧妙地融合在一起,创造出一种全新的商业哲学。在阅读的过程中,我逐渐发现,作者并非是在描绘一个不切实际的乌托邦,而是以一种极为务实和深刻的洞察力,剖析了当下商业世界的痛点,并提出了极具建设性的解决方案。他没有回避商业竞争的激烈,也没有忽视利润的重要性,但他强调,真正的商业成功,绝不仅仅是停留在物质层面,而是要能够触及到更深层次的价值,包括激发个体的潜能、促进社会的进步、以及实现人类精神的成长。我尤其 impressed by the author's ability to connect abstract philosophical concepts with concrete business practices. He doesn't just talk about the importance of purpose and values; he provides practical frameworks and examples that illustrate how businesses can integrate these principles into their daily operations. This is what makes the book so valuable – it offers a roadmap for achieving both commercial success and meaningful impact, a balance that many businesses struggle to find. I am eager to explore more of his ideas on how to foster an "enlightened" business culture.
评分《The Business of Enlightenment》这本书,如同一股清流,在我对商业世界固有的认知模式中,注入了全新的活力。我一直认为,商业的本质是资源的优化配置,最终目标是利润的最大化。然而,这本书却挑战了我这种狭隘的观点,它让我意识到,真正的商业价值,远不止于此。作者以一种令人信服的论证方式,将“启蒙”这一概念,不仅仅停留在精神层面,而是将其转化为一种驱动商业发展的核心力量。他似乎在探讨一种更为宏大且深刻的商业哲学,一种能够将个体成长、社会责任和企业盈利完美结合的商业模式。我特别关注作者是如何将“启蒙”的内涵,具体地体现在商业实践中的。在他看来,一个“启蒙式”的企业,不仅要追求经济效益,更要关注其对社会和他人的积极影响。这可能意味着,企业需要更加注重员工的福祉和发展,需要以更加负责任的方式对待环境和社会,甚至需要通过其产品和服务,去启发和赋能消费者。我开始尝试用书中提出的理念,去审视我所见过的那些成功的企业,我发现,那些真正能够赢得人心、持续发展的企业,往往都具备一种超越物质回报的价值导向,它们以其独特的理念和实践,赢得了社会的尊重和认可。
评分翻开《The Business of Enlightenment》的扉页,我被一股扑面而来的智慧气息所吸引。这不是那种堆砌专业术语、生涩难懂的学术报告,而是更像是一位经验丰富的人生导师,用一种亲切而深刻的语言,与你进行一场关于人生意义与商业实践的对话。作者在开篇就抛出了一个引人深思的观点:真正的商业成功,并非仅仅是财务报表的数字增长,而是一种能够激发个体潜能、提升社会福祉,甚至促进人类文明进步的内在驱动力。我立刻被这种宏大的视角所吸引,因为它触及了我内心深处对于“有意义”的追求。在当今这个充斥着快节奏、高压力的商业社会中,很多人都感到迷茫和疲惫,仿佛被困在无休止的竞争和物质追逐中,却失去了最初的激情和方向。而这本书,似乎正是要为这些人提供一种全新的视角,一种能够帮助他们重新发现商业价值,并将其与个人成长、社会责任相连接的路径。我特别关注作者是如何将“启蒙”这一概念融入到商业的语境中的。在我看来,“启蒙”往往意味着摆脱愚昧、追求真理、提升认知,而将它与“商业”结合,则暗示了一种超越物质利益的商业形态,一种以人为本、以价值为导向的商业哲学。我迫不及待地想知道,作者是如何定义这种“启蒙式商业”的,它是否能够帮助企业在激烈的市场竞争中脱颖而出,同时又不会丧失其应有的社会担当?我期待书中能够提供一些具体的案例和实践方法,让我能够更好地理解并应用这些理念。
评分当我拿起《The Business of Enlightenment》这本书时,我并未预设它会给我带来怎样的惊喜。我只是被书名中那份微妙的张力所吸引——“商业”的现实与“启蒙”的理想,它们之间究竟会碰撞出怎样的火花?然而,随着阅读的深入,我发现自己被作者的深刻洞察力和独到见解深深吸引。他并非是在宣扬一种不切实际的空想,而是以一种极其务实的态度,剖析了当下商业世界存在的诸多弊端,并提出了极具前瞻性的解决方案。他似乎在论证,真正的商业成功,并非仅仅是停留在物质层面,而是要能够触及到更深层次的价值,包括激发个体的潜能、促进社会的进步、以及实现人类精神的成长。我尤其 impressed by the author's sophisticated exploration of how businesses can foster a culture of continuous learning and critical thinking, which he posits as essential components of both enlightenment and business resilience. He suggests that by embracing curiosity, encouraging open dialogue, and valuing diverse perspectives, organizations can not only navigate complex challenges more effectively but also unlock innovative solutions that drive sustainable growth. This nuanced perspective offers a refreshing departure from traditional business advice and promises a more holistic and fulfilling path to success.
评分当我第一次在书店橱窗里瞥见《The Business of Enlightenment》这个名字时,一种莫名的好奇心便被勾了起来。它不像市面上那些直白的商业书籍,也没有历史或哲学著作那种沉甸甸的学术气息,它似乎巧妙地融合了两种截然不同的领域,在“商业”与“启蒙”这两个看似矛盾的词汇之间,我仿佛看到了某种深刻的联系,或者说,某种尚未被充分挖掘的可能性。我并非对商业运作本身毫无兴趣,只是我总觉得,纯粹的利润追求往往会忽略掉一些更本质的东西,而“启蒙”恰恰代表了那种对更深层次理解和觉醒的渴望。我当时就在想,这本书究竟会以怎样的方式来解读这种“商业”,又将如何去“启蒙”?它会是关于如何让企业在追求利润的同时,也承担起社会责任,从而实现某种程度上的“良心商业”吗?抑或是,它会探索一种全新的商业模式,一种能够真正触及人心、激发个体潜能、甚至引领社会进步的商业形态?这些疑问驱使着我毫不犹豫地将它纳入了我的购物清单。回到家后,我迫不及待地拆开包装,封面上那简约的设计,以及书名下方的一行小字——“重塑价值,驱动未来”,更加深了我对这本书内在深度的期待。我开始想象,这本书的作者,究竟是拥有怎样的洞察力,才能将如此宏大的概念,编织进日常的商业语境之中。我期待的不仅仅是理论的阐述,更是那些能够触动我内心,引发我反思,甚至在我今后的工作和生活中,能够给我带来实际启发的真知灼见。我希望它能像一盏明灯,照亮那些在商业迷雾中摸索前行的人们,让他们看到除了物质回报之外,另一种更有意义的价值所在。
评分当我第一次在书架上看到《The Business of Enlightenment》这个书名时,我被一种强烈的直觉所吸引。我总觉得,在当下这个日益复杂和充满挑战的商业世界里,我们需要的不仅仅是精明的策略和高效的执行,更需要一种能够引领我们走向更光明方向的智慧。这本书的名字,恰恰传达了这种信息。它暗示了一种超越物质利益的商业模式,一种能够激发个体潜能、促进社会进步的商业实践。在阅读的过程中,我被作者的洞察力和深刻性所折服。他并没有将“启蒙”仅仅停留在哲学层面,而是将其作为一种切实可行的商业理念,一种能够为企业带来长远竞争优势的驱动力。我尤其 impressed by the author's ability to articulate complex ideas in a clear and accessible manner. He skillfully weaves together philosophical insights with practical business applications, offering a compelling argument for the transformative power of an "enlightened" approach to business. The book challenges the conventional wisdom that profit and purpose are often at odds, instead proposing a vision where they can be mutually reinforcing, leading to a more sustainable and meaningful form of commercial success. I'm excited to explore further how this philosophy can be implemented in various business contexts.
评分《The Business of Enlightenment》这本书,给我带来的不仅仅是阅读的愉悦,更是一种思想的革新。我一直对那些能够颠覆传统认知、开辟全新视野的书籍情有独钟,而这本书无疑就是这样一本。它以一种极为独特的方式,将“商业”与“启蒙”这两个看似风马牛不相及的概念,巧妙地融合在一起,构成了一种全新的商业哲学。我深刻地感受到,作者并非是在空谈理论,而是以一种极为务实和深刻的洞察力,剖析了当前商业模式的局限性,并提出了极具启发性的解决方案。他似乎在强调,真正的商业成功,并不仅仅是物质财富的堆积,而是一种能够触及人心、激发潜能、促进社会进步的内在驱动力。我尤其 appreciate the author's exploration of how businesses can move beyond transactional relationships and build genuine, meaningful connections with their customers, employees, and communities. This resonates deeply with me, as I believe that in today's increasingly commoditized world, authenticity and purpose are the keys to long-term success and customer loyalty. The book offers a refreshing perspective on how to cultivate these qualities, making it a must-read for anyone looking to build a business that is both profitable and profoundly impactful.
