摘要

书是很难定义的,它夹在一种物理物体之间,通常是矩形的,由一叠书页捆绑在一起,一面是固定的,另一面是自由的。还有一个智力对象,它界定了一个项目,这个项目是自给自足的,并且长度相当可观(尽管不确定)。显然,这些物理和非物理的定义是密切相关的,但它们也涉及相当大的哲学上的不确定性。一本书既是有限的又是无限的,既是开放的又是受限的。这一章考虑了这本书的两个维度,认为对象和理念是不可分割的。它讨论了5000年的历史,从楔形文字到Kindle,以及从奥古斯丁到彼特拉克,从弗洛伊德到海德格尔的书的理论。它分为五个部分:作为对象的书;内容;隐喻;技术;和机器。

What is a Book?
The book is difficult to define, caught between a physical object, usually rectangular, made by tying together a stack of pages so that one side is bound and fixed, and the other free and loose; and an intellectual object, one that delimits a project that is self-sufficient and of reasonably substantial (though indeterminate) length. Clearly these physical and non-physical definitions are intimately related, yet they also involve considerable philosophical indeterminacy. A book is both finite and indefinite, open and restricted. This chapter considers both dimensions of the book, arguing that object and idea are inseparable. It discusses the 5,000 year history of the book from cuneiform to the Kindle, and theories of the book from Augustine to Petrarch, or from Freud to Heidegger. It is divided into five sections: the Book as Object; Contents; Metaphor; Technology; and Machine.
