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?

其实有时候也想,干嘛人总是想这么多自已为难自己呢,若是依据人的本能,天冷穿衣,饿了吃饭,男大当婚,女大当嫁,万事顺应天时,估计也没那么多烦恼事了。或许有人说是因为人的欲望太多,需求过多,压力过大,于是现下许多的身心灵类的指南书应势而热,应接不暇,让人眼花缭...

評分在人们开始思考最初的问题的时候,比如人从哪里来,人们遇到了神,当人们开始用心用头脑去寻找并理解神(一个统称)的时候,人们发明了宗教、哲学和科学。所谓的宗教实际上在最初的理论上增加了很多的宗教教义与仪式,但那最初的教义则是很多人所追寻拥戴的,不管他是以什么宗...
