For centuries, philosophers, theologians, moralists, and ordinary people have asked: How should we live? What makes for a good life? In The Best Things in Life, distinguished philosopher Thomas Hurka takes a fresh look at these perennial questions as they arise for us now in the 21st century. Should we value family over career? How do we balance self-interest and serving others? What activities bring us the most joy? While religion, literature, popular psychology, and everyday wisdom all grapple with these questions, philosophy more than anything else uses the tools of reason to make important distinctions, cut away irrelevancies, and distill these issues down to their essentials. Hurka argues that if we are to live a good life, one thing we need to know is which activities and experiences will most likely lead us to happiness and which will keep us from it, while also reminding us that happiness isn't the only thing that makes life good. Hurka explores many topics: four types of good feeling (and the limits of good feeling); how we can improve our baseline level of happiness (making more money, it turns out, isn't the answer); which kinds of knowledge are most worth having; the importance of achieving worthwhile goals; the value of love and friendship; and much more. Unlike many philosophers, he stresses that there isn't just one good in life but many: pleasure, as Epicurus argued, is indeed one, but knowledge, as Socrates contended, is another, as is achievement. And while the great philosophers can help us understand what matters most in life, Hurka shows that we must ultimately decide for ourselves. This delightfully accessible book offers timely guidance on answering the most important question any of us will ever ask: How do we live a good life?

纯哲学,看着头疼,不是我的错,这书太费解。 书名很好,所以我被吸引来了。拿到书,发现封面也很好看,想来内容也应该能够让我惊艳吧。翻开正文,看了不到三分之一,忍不住一阵头晕。翻译啊,我不管这书原文怎么样,但是我觉得翻译不到位,通篇大长句子,全是英文习惯,不符...
评分在记录下这篇读后感受的时候,我想先讲述一个小故事。 身边的一位长辈,寡居七年,与儿子媳妇同住一起。有人劝她另找一老伴度过暮年,白日有人说说话,有事有病也有人可以照顾暖心。她的担忧是:小孩如何看我。以此为理由从不谈此事。前些时间又有一合适对象,退休前背景...
评分刚拿到这本书是因为被名字吸引《生命中最好的事物》,俺都快40岁了有时还是不能确定生命中最好的事物都有些啥。看完书之后起初没什么感觉,后来跟个朋友吃饭突然想起书里的观点,返回头看时很有收获——应该正确面对生活的起伏。 跟我吃饭的朋友认识整整15年了,当年我俩在中...
