Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place.

Much postmodern rhetoric, suggests Karsten Harries, can be understood as a symptom of our civilization's discontent, born of regret that we are no longer able to experience our world as a cosmos that assigns us our place. But dissatisfaction with the modern world may also spring from a conviction that modernism has failed to confront the challenge of an inevitably open future. Such conviction has frequently led to a critique of modernity's founding heroes. Challenging that critique, Harries insists that modernity is supported by nothing other than human freedom.
But more important to Harries is to show how modernist self-assertion is shadowed by nihilism and what it might mean to step out of that shadow. Looking at a small number of medieval and Renaissance texts, as well as some paintings, he uncovers the threshold that separates the modern from the premodern world. At the same time, he illuminates that other, more questionable threshold, between the modern and the postmodern.
Two spirits preside over the book: Alberti, the Renaissance author on art and architecture, whose passionate interest in perspective and point of view offers a key to modernity; and Nicolaus Cusanus, the fifteenth-century cardinal, whose work shows that such interest cannot be divorced from speculations on the infinity of God. The title Infinity and Perspective connects the two to each other and to the shape of modernity.

张卜天:现代世界图景的思想起源——评<无限与视角>
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
后现代主义对现代文明诸多质疑的前提是对现代世界的广泛不满。这种不满也许根源于,现代人不再把世界体验为一个万物各居其位、秩序井然的有限宇宙(cosmos)。我们的精神世界宛如一座布满缝隙和裂痕的废墟。康德、笛卡儿和哥白尼等现代奠基人的遗产之所以现在受到质疑,是因为... (展开)“人类不具备揭示真理的器官”

第三章 有学识的无知 读第三章的第一段就觉得很康德,就是关于先天意识形式的理论,简单来说就是我们看事情都是带着一层自我的滤镜,就像修图时的那种滤镜。读到第三章的后面作者也提到了康德的理论。 “真理是事物与理智的一致”还是“真理是理智与事物的一致”? “真理是事... (展开)视角性关系本身的优先性

哲学家Harries写过《建筑的伦理功能》,此书是从Cusanus那令今人震惊的世界观、上帝观、多中心论讲起,从of learned ignorance讲到当时天主教教会的改革,然后进入到亚里士多德的宇宙论,从而看到为何Cusanus描述的世界视角,既具有连续性,又具有革命性。。。。然后,才是阿尔伯蒂、Ficino\哥白尼。。。。。。不是建筑史,也不是简单的透视史,而是从透视开始的神学哲学史。

可能是因为这仅仅是我第二次接触科学史的主题,震动还挺大的。condemnation 1277 那段讨论有些醍醐灌顶的感觉。最后尾声那里写得真动人呀。
