这是一部描绘塑造了现代世界的诸多思想巨擘的引人入胜之作。通过一系列发人深省的案例研究，Rousseau、Shelley、Marx、Ibsen、Tolstoy、Hemingway、Bertrand Russell、Brecht、Sartre、Edmund Wilson、Victor Gollancz、Lillian Hellman、Cyril Connolly、Norman Mailer、James Baldwin、Kenneth Tynan 以及 Noam Chomsky 等知识分子，被展现为既才华横溢又充满矛盾、既魅力十足又极具危险性的人物。

…动摇了他的论点，即资本主义无法自我改良、必须依靠暴力革命来改善工人境况。如果想直观了解他到底有多脱离现实，可以读读 Paul Johnson 的《知识分子》（Intellectuals）一书。相关章节已被转载在这个链接里（忽略奇怪的配图和缺失的署名，正文是一模一样的）：http://thekbh.org/marx2.htm
…undermined his thesis that capitalism couldn't self-improve and needed violent revolution to improve worker conditions. A good introduction to just how isolated from reality he was can be found in the book "Intellectuals" by Paul Johnson. The relevant chapter has been reproduced at this link (ignore the weird picture and lack of attribution, the words are the same): http://thekbh.org/marx2.htm
令人遗憾的是，历史学家 Paul Johnson 在过去数小时内去世了。他的二十世纪史著作《现代时代》（Modern Times）以及他的多部传记——其中包括《知识分子》（1988）、《创作者》（2006）、《英雄》（2007）、《幽默大师》（2010）——都是值得热忱推荐的佳作。
Sadly, historian Paul Johnson died in the past hours. His history of the XX Century, Modern times, and his biographies - among which are Intellectuals (1988), Creators (2006), Heroes (2007), Humorists (2010) - are some of the books one can warmly recommend.

眼下我桌上摆着《清醒思考的艺术》、Brian Hook 的《Write Portable Code》、托马斯·曼的《魔山》、《人月神话》、Paul Johnson 的《知识分子》以及 Ernesto Laclau 的《领导权与社会主义的策略》。但我觉着同时并行读这么多书并不是个好策略……
The Art of Thinking Clearly, Write Portable Code by Brian Hook, Thomas Mann's The magic mountain, The mythical man month, Intellectuals by Paul Johnson and Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, by Ernesto Laclau are on my table right now. But I don't think reading many books in parallel is a good strategy...
我读了 Paul Johnson 的《知识分子》，突然意识到，哪怕打着最大的问号去审视这本书，伯特兰·罗素也完全是个不折不扣的人渣、彻头彻尾的花花公子、行为极其失范的人，尽管他极具天赋……
I read Intellectuals by Paul Johnson and it occurs to me that even generously doubting the book, Bertrand Russell comes off as a real scumbag, complete womanizer, generally untethered person and despite being prodigiously…
我觉得看人真的得把艺术和艺术家分开。历史上很多大人物在现实生活中都是混球。Paul Johnson 的《知识分子》基本上就是一篇 Gawker 风格的扒皮文，把马克思、萨特、托尔斯泰、卢梭、雪莱、布莱希特、罗素等人批了个遍——但说得也没错。见鬼，约翰·列侬在认识小野洋子之前的那个家里也是个混蛋。别搞浪漫化…
I think you really have to appreciate art separate from the artist. Many great figures in history were shits in real life. Paul Johnson's book Intellectuals is pretty much a gawker-style hit piece of Marx, Sartre, Tolstoy, Rousseau, Shelly, Brecht, Russell, and others - but it's not wrong. Hell, John Lennon was a dick to his pre-Yoko family. Don't romanticize…
