The Future of Truth Hardcover – September 30, 2025
by Werner Herzog (Author), Michael Hofmann (Translator)


這部作品出自傳奇電影導演兼作家沃納·赫爾佐格之手,它以精煉、生動且極具個人風格的筆觸,探索藝術、哲學和歷史,並試圖解開我們最難以捉摸、也最具爭議的問題之一:什麼是真理?在「後真相」時代,我們又該如何尋覓真理?

半個多世紀以來,沃納·赫爾佐格不斷挑戰、豐富和擴展我們對真理的理解。他的電影和書籍融合了虛構與非虛構、紀錄片與劇情片、現實與想像。赫爾佐格始終超越表象,探索更高層次的真理,或者他常稱之為「狂喜的真理」。在《真理的未來》中,這位偉大的藝術家嘗試解答人類最深刻、最永恆的問題之一。在人工智慧深度偽造影片氾濫,以及大多數人對如今所謂的「假新聞」氾濫成災、甚至某些公眾人物不斷散佈謊言和進行宣傳的現狀感到絕望之際,赫爾佐格試圖尋找解決之道。他將回憶錄、歷史、政治、詩歌、科學和犀利的觀點融為一體,以令人驚豔的原創性和文采著稱,敦促讀者在追求真理的道路上堅持不懈、充滿想像力,即便這條路似乎永無止境:

我不認為真理是天空中一顆我們有一天會到達的北極星。它更像是一場永無止境的奮鬥。一場運動,一段充滿未知的旅程,充滿徒勞的探索。但正是這段通往未知、通往廣大暮色森林的旅程,賦予了我們的生命意義和目標;正是它將我們與田野裡的野獸區分開來。


「赫爾佐格一如既往地我行我素。他不受任何探究規範的約束,也不受任何關於真理的宏大實用主義理論的束縛,而是遵循藝術家那種自信自由聯想的本能。”

山姆·什帕爾評論沃納·赫爾佐格的著作《真理的未來》。
From legendary filmmaker and author Werner Herzog, a compact, effervescent, and deeply personal exploration of art, philosophy, and history that unravels one of our most elusive and contested questions: What is truth—and how to find it in our “post-truth” era?

For over half a century, Werner Herzog has challenged, enriched, and expanded our understanding of the truth. His films and books have mixed fiction and nonfiction, documentary and drama, reality and imagination. Invariably, Herzog goes beyond the appearance of what is true in search of a higher truth, or what he has often referred to as the “ecstatic truth.” In The Future of Truth, a great artist ventures an answer to one of humanity’s deepest, most eternal questions. At a moment when deepfake AI videos are proliferating, and most people have simply thrown up their hands in despair at the ubiquity of what we now know as fake news—not to mention the constant lying and propagandizing from certain public figures—Herzog seeks a remedy. Mixing memoir, history, politics, poetry, science, and fierce opinion, he writes with dazzling originality and panache, urging readers to be unflagging and imaginative in the pursuit of truth, endless though the quest may be:

I don’t think truth is some kind of polestar in the sky that we will one day get to. It’s more like an incessant striving. A movement, an uncertain journey, a seeking full of futile endeavor. But it is this journey into the unknown, into a vast twilit forest, that gives our lives meaning and purpose; it is what distinguishes us from the beasts in the fields.

"Herzog is, as always, playing his own game. He is governed not by norms of inquiry, nor by any grandiose pragmatic theory about what truth is, but by the artist’s imperative of self- assured free association."

Werner Herzog names the greatest performer in cinema history: “There was a certain beauty”
Scott Campbell
Tue 3 December 2024 16:45, UK


Based on his reputation for being one of the most eccentric figures in cinema, which he’s earned by doing absolutely nothing other than being himself at all times, it’s not ridiculous to think that Werner Herzog would think outside of the box when it came to naming the greatest performer in cinema history.

After all, this is a prolific filmmaker equally adept and comfortable at narrative drama as they are a documentarian who used the money they made from appearing in Star Wars to fund a Japanese-language drama on a shoestring budget and has a habit of making even the most mundane of musings sound like poetry with his unmistakable intonations.


Herzog also has a bizarre obsession with chickens, ate a shoe on camera after losing a bet, got shot during a live television interview, and was embroiled in the industry’s ultimate love/hate relationship with Klaus Kinski, who was either his best friend or worst enemy depending entirely on what day of the week it was and whether or not they’d recently threatened – or attempted, as tended to happen – to kill each other.

His favourite Marlon Brando performance wasn’t in On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire, or The Godfather but Viva Zapata! he singled out character actor extraordinaire Michael Shannon as the finest talent of his generation and has a deep-seated affinity for Winnie the Pooh that transcends the barriers of pop culture, so it could realistically be anyone that Herzog could point to as the benchmark that every on-camera performer before or after has failed to reach.


On the other hand, it’s fitting that his candidate came to prominence a century ago when cinema was a much simpler and less technically driven place. Speaking to The New Yorker, Herzog lamented that “very young people not only watch a movie on their cellular phone” but “they also speed it up to twice the speed if it’s too slow for them.” Admittedly, that should be made illegal, but the filmmaker’s favoured star already looked like they moved much faster than the average person.

“There was a certain beauty,” he reminisced of the days when film was captured and conveyed at 18 frames per second, with the nostalgia almost palpable. “My favourite character in movies has been, and still is, Buster Keaton.” Comedy, or at least intentional comedy, has never been Herzog’s strongest suit, but nobody outside of Charlie Chaplin has ever come remotely close to perfecting the balance between slapstick, physicality, and humour better than the inimitable Keaton.

Even when he was putting his life on the line to perform increasingly dangerous stunts like a proto-Tom Cruise, Keaton would never break character. They called him ‘The Great Stone Face’ for a reason, and as a notoriously stoic and deadpan fellow himself, maybe that’s another reason why Herzog has never wavered from the groundbreaking actor being his definitive ideal of what a movie star should be.

歸去來兮辭
並序
作者:陶淵明 
405年
本作品收錄於《陶淵明集

余家貧,耕植不足以自給。幼盈室[1],缾無儲粟。生生所資,未見其術。親故多勸余為長吏,脫然有懷,求之靡途。會有四方之事,諸侯以惠愛為德;家叔以余貧苦,遂見用小邑。於時風波未靜,心憚遠役。彭澤去家百里,公田之,足以為酒[2],故便求之。及少日,眷然有歸歟之情。何則?質性自然,非矯所得。飢凍雖切,違己交病。從人事,皆口腹自役。於是悵然慷慨,深愧平生之志。猶望一稔,當斂裳宵逝。尋程氏妹喪於武昌,情在駿奔,自免去職。仲秋至冬,在官八十餘日。因事順心,命篇曰《歸去來兮》。乙巳歲十一月也。


歸去來兮,田園蕪胡不歸?
既自以為形役[3],奚惆悵而獨悲!
悟已往之不諫,知來者之可追;
實迷途其未遠,覺今是而昨非。
輕颺,風飄飄而吹衣。
問征夫以前路。恨晨光之微。
乃瞻衡宇,載欣載奔。
僮僕迎,稚子候門。
三徑就荒,松菊猶存。
幼入室,有酒罇。
引壺觴庭柯以怡顏。
倚南窗寄傲,審容膝之易安。
園日涉,門雖設而常關。
策扶老,時遐觀。
雲無心出岫,鳥倦飛而知還。
景翳翳將入,撫孤松盤桓。
歸去來兮!請息交絕遊。
世與我,復駕言兮焉求?
悅親戚之情話,樂琴書以消憂。
農人告余以,將有事西疇。
命巾車,或棹舟。
既窈窕尋壑,亦崎嶇而丘。
木欣欣以向榮,泉涓涓而始流。
善萬物之得,感吾之行休。
已矣乎!寓形宇內[4][5]幾時?
不委心任去留?
胡為乎[6]遑遑[7]欲何之?
富貴非吾願,帝鄉不可期。
懷良辰以孤往,或植杖而耔。
登東皋以舒嘯,臨清流而賦詩。
聊乘化歸盡,樂天命復奚


AI Overview
「感吾生之行休」
出自陶淵明《歸去來兮辭並序》,意為感嘆自己的一生行將結束、生命即將終止。這句詩表達了詩人卸下官職、回歸田園後,面對欣欣向榮的自然萬物,感悟到人生短暫與生命終結的無奈,同時也包含著「知天命」後返璞歸真的達觀心境。
詞句解析與背景:
  • 出自:東晉文學家陶淵明歸隱之初的作品,表達了脫離仕途、歸隱田園的決心。
  • 字面義:「善(或羨)萬物之得時,感吾生之行休。」
    • 善/羨:羨慕、歡喜。
    • 得時:萬物各得其時,欣欣向榮。
    • 行休:行將結束、罷休、終止。
  • 上下文:緊接著「木欣欣以向榮,泉涓涓而始流」之後,形成鮮明對比——大自然生機勃勃,而我的一生即將步入終點。
  • 情感與心境:這並非純粹的悲觀,而是坦然接受自然規律(乘化),與下文「已矣乎!寓形宇內復幾時,曷不委心任去留」相呼應,表達了對生命的熱愛與對歸隱的堅定。
這句話完美體現了陶淵明淡泊名利、崇尚自然的思想。
