Editor's Note:
克莱夫·詹姆斯用了四十年时间完成《文化失忆》,一部介绍自由人文主义传统“独出机杼的核心纲要”,由百篇历史人物评论组成,除了那些醒目的路标式人物,更多的是被留存在遗忘边缘的名字。二十世纪几次大灾难历尽生死存亡,无数人消失在晦暗的断裂中,更多不合时宜的事实经过筛选淬炼,重组为我们所知的历史。詹姆斯提醒人们,使文明成其为文明的人文主义若要在新世纪得以留存,继承者们就不能放弃对过去的记忆。本书试图召回、感知和审视二十世纪动荡的精神生活,捕捉“一场盛大对话的边角”,以此抵抗遗忘,并重新建立联结。詹姆斯通晓七种语言,贯通哲学、历史、政治和艺术,打磨出一份警句频出的现代文明回忆清单。从阿赫玛托娃(A)到茨威格(Z),作者写的不仅仅是闪耀的群星,还有人类一切创造力之间错综复杂的勾连及其周围环绕的黑暗,它们共同构成时间之海上一道明灭相间的星辉:或许会黯淡,但永不消逝。作为一名真正的人文主义者和现实主义者,詹姆斯热诚的书写让历史回到当下的脉搏之中,并获得回应当下的能力:对于一切削弱人文主义联结的势力,任何创造性的活动都是必要的抗争。
