内容简介:
A brilliant book by Nobel Prize winner Eric R. Kandel, The Age of Insight takes us to Vienna 1900, where leaders in science, medicine, and art began a revolution that changed forever how we think about the human mind—our conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions—and how mind and brain relate to art.
At the turn of the century, Vienna was the cultural capital of Europe. Artists and scientists met in glittering salons, where they freely exchanged ideas that led to revolutionary breakthroughs in psychology, brain science, literature, and art. Kandel takes us into the world of Vienna to trace, in rich and rewarding detail, the ideas and advances made then, and their enduring influence today.
The Vienna School of Medicine led the way with its realization that truth lies hidden beneath the surface. That principle infused Viennese culture and strongly influenced the other pioneers of Vienna 1900. Sigmund Freud shocked the world with his insights into how our everyday unconscious aggressive and erotic desires are repressed and disguised in symbols, dreams, and behavior. Arthur Schnitzler revealed women’s unconscious sexuality in his novels through his innovative use of the interior monologue. Gustav Klimt, Oscar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele created startlingly evocative and honest portraits that expressed unconscious lust, desire, anxiety, and the fear of death.
Kandel tells the story of how these pioneers—Freud, Schnitzler, Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele—inspired by the Vienna School of Medicine, in turn influenced the founders of the Vienna School of Art History to ask pivotal questions such as What does the viewer bring to a work of art? How does the beholder respond to it? These questions prompted new and ongoing discoveries in psychology and brain biology, leading to revelations about how we see and perceive, how we think and feel, and how we respond to and create works of art. Kandel, one of the leading scientific thinkers of our time, places these five innovators in the context of today’s cutting-edge science and gives us a new understanding of the modernist art of Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele, as well as the school of thought of Freud and Schnitzler. Reinvigorating the intellectual enquiry that began in Vienna 1900, The Age of Insight is a wonderfully written, superbly researched, and beautifully illustrated book that also provides a foundation for future work in neuroscience and the humanities. It is an extraordinary book from an international leader in neuroscience and intellectual history.

原文摘录:
As even a cursory description makes clear, The Interpretation of Dreams is the seminal achievement of Freud’s remarkable career. He himself was immensely proud of it. In a letter to Fliess dated June 12, 1900, he writes of revisiting Schloss Bellevue, where five years earlier he had had the dream he called Irma’s Injection: “Do you suppose that some day a marble tablet will be placed on the house, inscribed with these words: In this house, on July 24, 1895, The Secret of Dreams was revealed to Dr. Sigmund Freud.” (查看原文)

Three other physicians made historic contributions to the Paris School of Medicine in its early years: Marie-Francois-Xavier Bichat, René Laënnec, and Philippe Pinel. Bichat was one of the first pathologists in Europe to emphasize that an understanding of human anatomy is essential to the practice of medicine. …Laënnec invented the stethoscope and used it to characterize the various sounds of the heart and correlate them with anatomical findings at autopsy.
Pinel founded psychiatry as a discipline of medicine; he introduced humane, psychologically oriented principles to the care of mentally ill patients and attempted to form a personal, psychotherapeutic relationship with them. Pinel argued that mental illness is a medical illness and that it occurs when people with a hereditary predi… (查看原文)
