IT ALL TURNS ON AFFECTION

Book ID/图书代码： 03371012B59191

English Summary/英文概要： When he accepted the invitation to deliver The Jefferson Lecture—our nation’s highest honor for distinguished intellectual achievement—Wendell Berry decided to take on the obligation of thinking again about the problems that have engaged him throughout his long career. He wanted a fresh start, not only in looking at the groundwork of the problems facing our nation and the earth itself, but in gaining hope from some examples of repair and healing even in these times of Late Capitalism and its destructive contagions. As a poet and writer he understood already that much can be gleaned from looking at the vocabulary of these problems themselves and how we describe them. And he settled on “affection” as a method of engagement and solution. The result is the greatest speech he has delivered in his six decades of public life. It All Turns on Affection will take its place alongside The Unsettling of America and The Gift of Good Land as major testaments to the power and clarity of his contribution to American thought.

We have taken this opportunity to include a small handful of other recent essays and a wonderful conversation between Mr. Berry, his wife Tanya Berry, and the head of the National Endowment of the Humanities Jim Leech, which took place just after the award was announced. The result offers a wonderful continuation of the long conversation Berry has had with his readers over many years and as well as a fine introduction to his life and work.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 想像力能催生同情，而憐憫之情又萌生出情感。而在人類感情的影響下，我們發現了一種和諧的可能性。”

當他受邀參加國家最高榮譽智慧成就獎— 傑斐遜講座時，溫德爾•貝裏決定再次思考一下自己所從事的漫長的環保職業生涯的意義。他想要一種全新的開始，不僅旨在關注國家和地球所面臨的一些基本問題，而是從修復和根治後資本主義時代問題的一些成功案例中獲得希望。身為一位詩人和作家，他深知來自這些問題本身詞彙和我們如何描述這些問題的含義。而他選定用“感情”作為一種處理解決的方法。結果是他在其後的六十年的公眾生活中發表了最為重要的演講。《一切都取悅於感情》將作為主要的見證力量和作為他對美國思想的貢獻，是消除美國的不安，給土地煥以自然禮物的一部佳作。

我們藉此機會，接觸到貝裡先生與他的妻子塔尼亞•貝裏間最近的文章，以及和國家民主人文基金會的負責人吉姆•裏奇在宣佈獲獎宣後的的精彩對話。向讀者所呈現的是一部貝裏與他的讀者多年來長時間的精彩談話內容，還有詳細介紹給他的生活和工作情況。
