Into this empty casting, the teachers 26 stuff“ education.” Butgenuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not

18、27 the stuffing of informationinto a person, but rather elicitingknowledge from him; it is the 28 ofwhat is in the mind.“ Themost importantpart ofeducation,o”nce wrote WilliamErnest Hocking,the 29Harvard philosopher,“ is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him.”And, as Edith Hamilton

19、has reminded us,Socrates never said,“ I know, learn f。rom” mHee said, rather,“ Look into your own selves and find the 30of the truththat Godhas put intoevery heart and that only you can kindle 点燃 to a 31 .”In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of 32 , and proves to the a

Over the past30 years the digitalrevolutionhas37manyofthe mid-skilljobsthat underpinned20th-century middle-class life. Typ

Although innovation kills some jobs, it creates new and

24、better ones, as a more39society becomes richer and its wealthier inhabitants demand more goods and services. A hundred years ago one in three American workers was40on a farm.

28、ed not to find it on lists of great books. Or walked around a sculpture renowned as a classic, struggling to see what the fuss is about. If so, you ve probably pondered the question Cutting asked himself that day: how does a work of art come to be considered great.B The intuitive answer is that some

29、 works of art are just great: of intrinsically superior quality.The paintings that win prime spots in galleries, get taught in classes and reproduced in books arethe ones that have proved their artistic value overtime. Ifyou can t see they re superior, that s your problem. It s an intimidatingly nea

30、t explanation. But some social scientists have been askingawkward questions of it, raising the possibility that artistic canons are little more than fossilised historical accidents.C Cutting, a professor at Cornell University, wondered if a psychological mechanism known asthe“ me-erexposure effect”

31、played a role in deciding which paintings rise to the top of thueltcural league. Cuttingdesigned an experiment to test his hunch. Over a lecture course he regularly showed undergraduates works of impressionism for two seconds at a time. Some of the paintings were canonical, included in art-history b

32、ooks. Others were lesser known but of comparable quality.These were exposed four times as often. Afterwards, the students preferred them to the canonical works, whilea control group of students liked the canonical ones best. Cuttingstsudents had grown to like those paintings more simply because they

33、 had seen them more.D Cutting believes his experiment offers a clue as to how canons are formed. He points out thatthe most reproduced works of impressionismtoday tend to have been bought by fiveor six wealthy and influential collectors in the late 19th century. The preferences of these men bestowed

34、 prestige on certain works, which made the works more likely to be hung in galleries and printed in anthologies. The fame passed down the years, gaining momentum from mere exposure as it did so. The more people were exposed to, the more they liked it, and the more they liked it, the more it appeared

35、 in books,on posters and in big exhibitions. Meanwhile,academics and critics createdsophisticated justifications for its pre-eminence. After all, it s not just the masses who tend to ratewhat they see more often more highly. As contemporary artists like Warhol and Damien Hirst havegrasped, critical

36、acclaim is deeply entwined with publicity.“ Scholars C”ut,ting argues, “ arenodiffer ent from the public in the effects of mere exposure.”E The process described by Cutting evokes a principle that the sociologist Duncan Watts calls“ cumulative advantage” : once a thing becomes popular, it will tend

37、to become more popular still. A few years ago, Watts, who is employed by Microsoft to study the dynamics of social networks,had a similarexperience to Cutting in another Paris museum. After queuing to see the “ Mona可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品名师归纳总结Lisa ” in its climat-econtrolled bulletproof box at the Louvr

38、e, he came away puzzled: why was it considered so superior to the three other Leonardos in the previous chamber, to which nobody seemed to be paying the slightest attention.F When Watts looked into the history of“ the greatest painting of all time” , he discovered f or most of its life, the “ MonaLi

39、sa ”remained in relative obscurity. In the 1850s, Leonardo daVinci was considered no match for giants of Renaissance art like Titian and Raphael, whose workswere worth almost ten times as much as the “ MonaLisa ”It. was only in the 20th century thatLeonardo s portrait of his patron s wife rocketed t

40、o-otnhee snpuomt.bWerhat propelled it there wasn t a scholarly r-eevaluation, but a theft.G In 1911 a maintenance worker at the Louvre walked out of the museum with the“ Mona Lis hidden under his smock. Parisians were aghast at the theft of a painting to which, until then, theyhad paid little attent

41、ion. When the museum reopened, people queued to see the gap where the “ Mona Lisa” had once hung in a way they had never edofonr the painting itself. From then on, the “ Mona Lisa” came to represent Western culture itself.H Although many have tried, it does seem improbable that the painting s unique

42、 status can beattributed entirely to the quality of its brushstrokes. It has been said that the subject s eyes follow the viewer around the room. But as the painting s biographer, DonayldlySnaostseoso, n, dr “ Inreality the effect can be obtained from any portrait.” Duncan Watts proposes that the“is

43、 merely an extreme example of a general rule. Paintings, poems and pop songs are buoyed or sunk by random events or preferences that turn intowaves ofinfluence,ripplingdown the generations.I “ Saying that cultural objects have value,” Brian Eno once wyirnogteth, at teleph“oniesslike sahave conversat

Visitors to the“ M knowthey are about tovisitthe greatest workofart ever and come awayappropriatelyimpressed or let down. An audience at a performance of“ Ham

Watts even calls the pre-eminence of Shakespeare a“ historicalaccident”.J Although the rigid high-low distinction fell apart in the 1960s, we still use culture as a badge of identity.

47、ast important attribute. But perhaps it s moreifsicigannt than our social scientists allow. First of all, a work needs a certainquality to be eligible to be swept to the top of the pile. The“ Mona Lisa” may not be a worworld champion, but it was in the Louvre in the first place, and not by accident. Secondly, somestuffis simplybetterthan otherstuff.Read “ Hamlet ”after readingeven the
