The Business of Enlightenment pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.

It is essentially a book of publishing history, not a book history. It focuses on the publisher, publishing, and diffusion of Encyclopedie between 1775 and 1800. I was surprised by (and envy) the abundant material (various account books, letters, etc) used by the author. An important book full of details. Better to know French when reading...

一个特色:从物质的角度解读思想 一个启发:反对一刀切 一 庞库克 这本书的副标是“百科全书的出版史1755-1800”,而出版商庞库克恰好在1800年左右去世,可见本书和狄德罗、卢梭、伏尔泰之辈几无联系,反倒更像是庞库克一个人的商海浮沉录。 这个故事应该在《百科全书》第一...
評分但是否1789 年以前到达法国读者手中的11500部《百科全书》所能够启发的读者树木和当时整个法国的人口数相比仍显单薄?700到800里昂左右的售价使得她的读者门槛被客观的限定了。尽管出版商们的努力使得售价不断降低,但接触到她的读者数目仍然有限。我无意夸大一套书所能够起到...
評分兜售一种观念,也时候会被送上火刑柱给烧死;有时候却成了桩大发其财的生意。美国史学家罗伯特•达恩顿的这部讲述《百科全书》出版史的著作——《启蒙运动的生意》,所要谈的无疑是后者。在达恩顿笔下,《百科全书》的故事,与其说是一种启蒙思想史,不如说是“一种商人的思...
評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...
評分通常情况下,贪婪不是被人热烈颂扬的美德,比如眼下金融危机,对金融大亨们贪婪的斥责已经到了有人想真刀真枪去扁人的地步。然而,环顾历史,你又会发现贪婪的微妙性,往往,欲望、激情、雄心等或中性,或褒义的品格离贪婪仅一步距离,特别在商业领域,为了钱,打上“贪婪...
