Product Information

Naive Readings is a collection of nine of Ralph Lerner's essays on an astonishing range of notoriously difficult and complex authors and texts including Benjamin Franklin's secular and his liturgical writings, Jefferson's "Summary View," and Abraham Lincoln's various writings on statesmanship before he took office; Bacon's Essayes, Gibbon's writings on Jews, and Tocqueville on Edmund Burke; and finally Judah Halevi's Kuzari, and Maimonides's Guide of the Perplexed. Lerner presents his essays as experiments that challenge our current habits of reading which, especially in the case of such difficult texts, usually involve a hasty dismissal of whatever is deemed irrelevant and superficial. His aim is to show that such dismissal is almost always an error fatal to gaining a better insight into an author's intent. The antidote, he argues, is to read slowly and naively, paying particular attention to passages where the prose becomes self-conscious, impassioned, and idiosyncratic. It is in these passages, Lerner claims, that we can see a pattern which once it has been discerned appears to have been laying out in plain sight all along. Lerner is especially concerned to untangle surface questions such as the unity of opening and closing, the treatment of significant but not obviously thematic subjects, the surprising choice of a foil for one's argument, and a work's structure and organization. A central issue that animates each of the essays is the question of the author's intended effect on his audiences. Ultimately the plain but barely stated message of all these heterogeneous texts is that notwithstanding our limited understanding and finite powers, we are not absolved, individually or collectively, from confronting and mitigating as best we can the difficulties and dangers that life on earth poses to our flourishing.

Reviews
Lerner has written an outstanding book in which he shows the legitimacy and fruitfulness of concentrating, above all, upon the surfaces of texts. This approach is applicable to different periods of time and diverse sorts of works. If anyone doubts that there is a similarity between, say, reading Maimonides and reading Francis Bacon, they will be in for a surprise., Lerner makes a case for patient attention to obvious or surface details of texts. . . . As always, the breadth of Lerner's reading and knowledge is magisterial., Each of these readings is in an interpretative gem that provides an essential key to the thinker and text explored. The collection as an ordered and integrated whole builds a massively compelling case and model for the recovery of an art of reading whose 'naiveté' is in fact the energetic receptivity to authors whose works reach out, subtly and seductively, for partners in revelatory dialogue., Each of these readings is in an interpretative gem that provides an essential key to the thinker and text explored. The collection as an ordered and integrated whole builds a massively compelling case and model for the recovery of an art of reading whose 'naivet' is in fact the energetic receptivity to authors whose works reach out, subtly and seductively, for partners in revelatory dialogue., One of the many delights of Lerner's writing is that he moves so adeptly from close analysis of particular passages to larger insights about an author's full ensemble. . . . Lerner may be engaged in naïve reading, but he is no naïf., What do Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln have in common with Sir Francis Bacon, Edward Gibbon, and Alexis de Tocqueville, as well as with Judah Halevi and Moses Maimonides? In his examination of these writers, Lerner demonstrates something obvious that, to our detriment, we tend to overlook. These men chose their words with care; their aim was persuasion; and they often pursued that end gently, by way of indirection, in a manner intended to induce the members of the audience they addressed to persuade themselves. Lerner teaches us how to read slowly--with caution and attention--and with verve and wit he shows us how to write.
