Book excerpt: An innovative and lavishly illustrated account of the art, writings, and global influence of one of the 19th century's most influential thinkers This book presents an innovative portrait of John Ruskin (1819-1900) as artist, art critic, social theorist, educator, and ecological campaigner. Ruskin's juvenilia reveal an early embrace of his lifelong interests in geology and botany, art, poetry, and mythology. His early admiration of Turner led him to identify the moral power of close looking. In The Stones of Venice, illustrated with his own drawings, he argued that the development of architectural style revealed the moral condition of society. Later, Ruskin pioneered new approaches to teaching and museum practice. Influential worldwide, Ruskin's work inspired William Morris, founders of the Labour Party, and Mahatma Gandhi. Through thematic essays and detailed discussions of his works, this book argues that, complex and contradictory, Ruskin's ideas are of urgent importance today.

Download or read book Human Built World written by Thomas P. Hughes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-05-13 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To most people, technology has been reduced to computers, consumer goods, and military weapons; we speak of "technological progress" in terms of RAM and CD-ROMs and the flatness of our television screens. In Human-Built World, thankfully, Thomas Hughes restores to technology the conceptual richness and depth it deserves by chronicling the ideas about technology expressed by influential Western thinkers who not only understood its multifaceted character but who also explored its creative potential. Hughes draws on an enormous range of literature, art, and architecture to explore what technology has brought to society and culture, and to explain how we might begin to develop an "ecotechnology" that works with, not against, ecological systems. From the "Creator" model of development of the sixteenth century to the "big science" of the 1940s and 1950s to the architecture of Frank Gehry, Hughes nimbly charts the myriad ways that technology has been woven into the social and cultural fabric of different eras and the promises and problems it has offered. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, optimistically hoped that technology could be combined with nature to create an Edenic environment; Lewis Mumford, two centuries later, warned of the increasing mechanization of American life. Such divergent views, Hughes shows, have existed side by side, demonstrating the fundamental idea that "in its variety, technology is full of contradictions, laden with human folly, saved by occasional benign deeds, and rich with unintended consequences." In Human-Built World, he offers the highly engaging history of these contradictions, follies, and consequences, a history that resurrects technology, rightfully, as more than gadgetry; it is in fact no less than an embodiment of human values.
Download or read book John Ruskin written by Frederic Harrison and published by Collection XIX. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Le livre dont nous publions la traduction n’a pas la prétention de révéler au public français un nouveau Ruskin, après les pages si éloquentes et si vraiment inspirées de M. Robert de la Sizeranne, l’étude si consciencieuse et si complète de M. Jacques Bardoux, l’essai encore tout récent de M. André Chevrillon. Peut-être a-t-il du moins le mérite de s’adresser à un public moins restreint, parce que, tout en étant l’œuvre d’un homme qui est à la fois un philosophe, un littérateur et un artiste, il n’a été spécialement écrit ni pour les philosophes, ni pour les littérateurs, ni pour les artistes. Pour la première fois, croyons-nous, on trouvera les œuvres si nombreuses, si touffues, parfois même si difficiles à lire de Ruskin, énumérées dans leur ordre chronologique, expliquées par les circonstances où elles sont nées, succinctement analysées et commentées par un esprit clair qui n’a pas visé à autre chose qu’à les faire comprendre et à en montrer, en dépit des apparences, la liaison intime et la suite harmonieuse. C’est tout simplement un commentaire de la vie et des ouvrages de John Ruskin, un commentaire qui suit le texte de fort près, et qui constitue certainement la meilleure introduction et le guide le plus sûr pour la lecture des œuvres mêmes du grand esthète. »
