书籍简介

《卡尔·马克思:伟大与幻觉》一书既是马克思时代的写照，也是马克思本人的传记。这本《资本论》的作者回到了19世纪的世界，那时二十世纪的发明发明还没有把他变成共产主义的元老院院长和严厉的立法者。加雷斯·斯特德曼·琼斯描绘了一个充斥着非凡挑战和关于上帝、人类能力、帝国和政治体系的新观念的时代，尤其是关于未来形态的时代。

滑铁卢战役之后，整个欧洲都开始讨论英国的工业变革，法国的革命，以及这些事件所带来的希望和恐惧。未来的时代是属于那些沉迷于创造这个世界的革命事件和思想的人呢，还是它的继承者是那些对它感到恐惧和厌恶的人呢?斯特德曼·琼斯不仅重视马克思的观点，而且重视他所反对的那些人的观点。他表明，马克思和其他任何人一样，经历了一个既证实了他的解读，又让他困惑的时期，并最终给他留下了失败的可怕暗示。

卡尔·马克思让读者了解马克思的环境和发展，并理解康德、黑格尔、费尔巴哈、李嘉图、圣西门等人所创造的看世界的新方法的破坏性影响。我们开始理解马克思是如何将他们的哲学转变为思想的，这些思想经历了他自己无法想象的曲折，在20世纪的全球产生了压倒性的影响。

As much a portrait of his time as a biography of the man, Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion returns the author of Das Kapital to his nineteenth-century world, before twentieth-century inventions transformed him into Communism’s patriarch and fierce lawgiver. Gareth Stedman Jones depicts an era dominated by extraordinary challenges and new notions about God, human capacities, empires, and political systems―and, above all, the shape of the future.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, a Europe-wide argument began about the industrial transformation of England, the Revolution in France, and the hopes and fears generated by these occurrences. Would the coming age belong to those enthralled by the revolutionary events and ideas that had brought this world into being, or would its inheritors be those who feared and loathed it? Stedman Jones gives weight not only to Marx’s views but to the views of those with whom he contended. He shows that Marx was as buffeted as anyone else living through a period that both confirmed and confounded his interpretations―and that ultimately left him with terrible intimations of failure.

Karl Marx allows the reader to understand Marx’s milieu and development, and makes sense of the devastating impact of new ways of seeing the world conjured up by Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, Ricardo, Saint-Simon, and others. We come to understand how Marx transformed and adapted their philosophies into ideas that would have―through twists and turns inconceivable to him―an overwhelming impact across the globe in the twentieth century.

《卡尔·马克思:伟大与幻觉》(Karl Marx: great and Illusion)似乎是迄今为止关于这个主题最丰富的学术传记。——本杰明·昆克尔，《民族》

英国历史学家加雷斯·斯德曼·琼斯(Gareth Stedman Jones)的《卡尔·马克思:伟大与幻想》(Karl Marx: great and Illusion)有很多优点，其中一种是优雅的叙事风格，即使对19世纪的历史不熟悉的读者也能从那个时期的政治争议中找到指引。斯特德曼·琼斯对思想史有着敏锐的把握，并熟练地传达了马克思在哲学和经济学中形成自己思想的各种主题。他为我们这个时代写了马克思的权威传记。——彼得·戈登，《纽约时报》书评

斯德曼•琼斯(Stedman Jones)对马克思经济学和社会学诊断的分析将被证明是持久的。卡尔·马克思将马克思置于19世纪的语境中，正是为了展示解释解读和误读之间的悖论，正是这种悖论产生了马克思的全球影响力。——乔治·斯坦纳(George Steiner)，《泰晤士报》文学增刊

“Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion looks to be the most substantial intellectual biography of its subject yet written.”—Benjamin Kunkel, The Nation

“Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion, by the British historian Gareth Stedman Jones, has many virtues, among them a graceful style of narration that will guide even readers unfamiliar with 19th-century history through the period’s political controversies. Stedman Jones has a keen grasp of intellectual history, and skillfully conveys the various themes in philosophy and economics from which Marx forged his own ideas. He has written the definitive biography of Marx for our time.”—Peter E. Gordon, The New York Times Book Review

“[Stedman Jones’s] analysis of Marx’s economic and sociological diagnoses will prove enduring. Karl Marx situates Marx within his nineteenth-century context precisely in order to demonstrate the paradox of interpretative readings and misreadings which generated his global impact.”—George Steiner, The Times Literary Supplement
