——如何阅读一本书笔记 10
Part 2 Analytical Reading
CH11Agreeing or Disagreeing with an Author
Understanding a book can be described as a kind of agreement between writer and reader.
上一章节,我们说,读书好比一场与作者的对话,因此我们要跟书本交流;那么理解一本书好比作者和读者之间的协议。
既然是协议,作为读者可以认可这一纸协议,也可以有异议。如果发表不同观点,首先要保证你没有任何偏见,情绪,清晰陈述你的观点,你要有自己的做够的论据来支撑你的观点。
如果你与作者争辩,是有套路可寻的,或者说有争辩一定的辩论原则。
什么不同意作者,是作者缺乏解决相关问题的知识,还是作者因知识匮乏错误传达了观点,还是因作者逻辑不对,导致推论错误;或者作者根本没有解决一开始他提出的要解决的问题。
总之,不同意作者,要有理有据。

感悟:
Books win the plaudits of the critics and gain widespread popular attention almost to the extent that they flout the truth—the more outrageously they do so, the better. Many readers, and most particularly those who review current publications, employ other standards for judging, and praising or condemning, the books they read—their novelty, their sensationalism, their seductiveness, their force, and even their power to bemuse or befuddle the mind, but not their truth, their clarity, or their power to enlighten.
这段话特别值得深思。
如今,不但是书籍,连新闻,杂志,自媒体,统统沦陷了。
好书读不懂,没人读。烂书满大街。
