书籍简介

《世界的可读性》代表了汉斯·布鲁门伯格首次系统阐述他在《隐喻范式》中开创的隐喻方法。对于布鲁门伯格来说，隐喻是思维和情感模式的表征，这些模式无法通过概念表述来表达，但仍然不可或缺，因为它们使人类能够在一个原本令人难以抗拒的世界中定位自己。

《世界的可读性》将这种方法应用于世界以书的形式呈现这一观点。自然之书的隐喻一直是西方对现实的解读的核心，布鲁门伯格追溯了这一隐喻从古希腊宇宙学到遗传密码模型的演变过程，以了解它所表达、反映和投射的不同现实期望。

布鲁门伯格在文学和科学、神学和哲学、古代形而上学和二十世纪生物化学方面均有著作，他对一系列经典人物的思想进行了丰富而新颖的解读，包括贝克莱、维科、歌德、斯宾诺莎、莱布尼茨、培根、福楼拜和弗洛伊德。

布鲁门伯格通过跨学科、人类学敏锐的眼光，揭示了大量关于人类历史上连续性和不连续性的新见解，即渴望在一本书中包含所有的自然、历史和现实，从《塔木德》到狄德罗的《百科全书》和洪堡的《宇宙》再到 DNA 密码的 ACGT。

The Readability of the World represents Hans Blumenberg's first extended demonstration of the metaphorological method he pioneered in Paradigms for a Metaphorology. For Blumenberg, metaphors are symptomatic of patterns of thought and feeling that escape conceptual formulation but are nonetheless indispensable, because they allow humans to orient themselves in an otherwise overwhelming world. 

The Readability of the World applies this method to the idea that the world presents itself as a book. The metaphor of the book of nature has been central to Western interpretations of reality, and Blumenberg traces the evolution of this metaphor from ancient Greek cosmology to the model of the genetic code to access the different expectations of reality that it articulates, reflects, and projects.

Writing with equal authority on literature and science, theology and philosophy, ancient metaphysics and twentieth-century biochemistry, Blumenberg advances rich and original interpretations of the thinking of a range of canonical figures, including Berkeley, Vico, Goethe, Spinoza, Leibniz, Bacon, Flaubert, and Freud. 

Through his interdisciplinary, anthropologically sharpened gaze, Blumenberg uncovers a wealth of new insights into the continuities and discontinuities across human history of the longing to contain all of nature, history, and reality in a book, from the Bible, the Talmud to Diderot's Encyclopedia and Humboldt's Cosmos to the ACGT of the DNA code.
