Review
The famous philosopher and author holds a compelling discussion on the evolution and cultural meanings of collecting and list-making.
Product Description
Best-selling author and philosopher Umberto Eco is currently resident at the Louvre, and his chosen theme of study is "the vertigo of lists." Reflecting on this enormous trove of human achievements, in his lyrical intellectual style he has embarked on an investigation of the phenomenon of cataloging and collecting. This book, featuring lavish reproductions of artworks from the Louvre and other world-famous collections, is a philosophical and artistic sequel to Eco’s recent acclaimed books, History of Beauty and On Ugliness, books in which he delved into the psychology, philosophy, history, and art of human forms. Eco is a modern-day Diderot, and here he examines the Western mind’s predilection for list-making and the encyclopedic. His central thesis is that in Western culture a passion for accumulation is recurring: lists of saints, catalogues of plants, collections of art. This impulse has recurred through the ages from music to literature to art. Eco refers to this obsession itself as a "giddiness of lists" but shows how in the right hands it can be a "poetics of catalogues." From medieval reliquaries to Andy Warhol’s compulsive collecting, Umberto Eco reflects in his inimitably inspiring way on how such catalogues mirror the spirit of their times.

评分这本书本身就是一本清单。 当然，仔细追究起来阅读每本书都如同阅读一本清单目录。唯一不同的是，意大利作家翁贝托•艾柯编著的这本《无限的清单》就如同把我们原来阅读时的千头万绪整理成了一种有秩序的清单，并且用这份清单互相指涉文学史无数的清单文学。而对我们的阅读行...
评分土耳其作家奥尔罕·帕慕克在《纯真博物馆》中，似乎表现出了一种对物质列举的“强迫症”：“我爱芙颂，也爱她爱过的，甚至是触碰过的一切。我悉数收集起那些盐瓶、小狗摆设、顶针、笔、发卡、烟灰缸、耳坠、香水瓶、手帕、胸针……将它们放入了自己的博物馆。我建成了一座‘纯...
评分2013年8月，世界哲学大会，在两千多名哲学家里，最引人关注的是艾柯和哈贝马斯。艾柯调侃解构主义是“一种持法国许可证、美国制造的商品”，他的“消极实在论”朴素地申明：存在不是语言的结果，语言不能自由地建构存在。这话让人放心，就像他敦实的身材、五万本藏书、标志性...
