Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence---rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should---they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Although the good things in one's life make one's life go better than it otherwise would have gone, one could not have been deprived by their absence if one had not existed. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the 'anti-natal' view---that it is always wrong to have children---and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about foetal moral status yield a 'pro-death' view about abortion (at the earlier stages of gestation). Anti-natalism also implies that it would be better if humanity became extinct. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.
如果從前你認為本書僅素一種悲觀主義的態度淆,甚至所謂知識精英的無病呻吟的話,這兩天建議你佬再重新思考一下
評分有毒/ 太學術的部分略過瞭 他的論點最本質的還是叔本華那邊就說過的東西 /人生不如意十有八九/ 趕快看看尼采壓壓驚
評分按需閱讀吧。我五六章看完瞭感覺自己目前不是很在意他這兩章的東西(可能以後就在意瞭?)然後我是因為真探1來看的,劇粉或銹粉可以讀一哈,按道理說,銹和TD1是這本書的代餐,但我把這本書當他們的代餐瞭hhhh(最後吐槽一下排版,真的太醜瞭,全擠在最上麵,下麵空一堆,看著鬧心......)建議買實體書,一是不貴,二是他喜歡論證的時候搞abcd1234,實體書看起來容易一些……
評分Better Never to Have Been 這個觀點並不像它初看起來那樣驚世駭俗。這句話其實是我們在旁觀他人痛苦時,對自身之無能為力的一句安慰;也是親曆痛苦時的自我安慰。很多時候,恰恰是這種悲觀主義的解釋纔給瞭我們活下去的可能性。
評分“把生命帶到這個世界上”的決定背後存在著各種理由。這本書告訴我們,從哲學上來說,這些理由都是不道德的。
基督徒可以不用读下去了,我这篇东西也好,这本书也好,都是。因为神叫你们要“生养众多”。人的话语怎能敌神的诫命呢?真的,其他有类似教条的信徒也一样。下文仅针对他们之外的人群。 本书的核心观点在序言的第一段就明确给出:降生到世上总是伤害(coming into existence i...

評分You'd better not to do that. 你最好别做这事。 所以,Better to Never Have Been Born,意思是,最好从未出生。 这句话其实深埋在悲剧性地理解人生的灵魂里。尼采在《悲剧的诞生》中记载过弥达斯国王遭遇的来自精灵的智商暴击:“最好的东西是你根本得不到的,这就是不要降生...
評分大部分人会认为,只有当一个生命在出生后所遭受的痛苦多于快乐时,我们才可以说这个生命不如不出生。在《宁可不曾存在过》(Better Never to Have Been)一书中,作者 Daivd Benatar 认为事实并不仅仅如此。他通过哲学分析详细阐述了为什么出生总是一种伤害,为什么生育是不道...
