Everyone deplores narcissism, especially in others. The vain are by turns annoying or absurd, offending us whether they are blissfully oblivious or proudly aware of their behavior. But are narcissism and vanity really as bad as they seem? Can we avoid them even if we try? In Mirror, Mirror, Simon Blackburn, the author of such best-selling philosophy books as Think, Being Good, and Lust, says that narcissism, vanity, pride, and self-esteem are more complex than they first appear and have innumerable good and bad forms. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, literature, history, and popular culture, Blackburn offers an enlightening and entertaining exploration of self-love, from the myth of Narcissus and the Christian story of the Fall to today's self-esteem industry.
A sparkling mixture of learning, humor, and style, Mirror, Mirror examines what great thinkers have said about self-love--from Aristotle, Cicero, and Erasmus to Rousseau, Adam Smith, Kant, and Iris Murdoch. It considers today's "me"-related obsessions, such as the "selfie," plastic surgery, and cosmetic enhancements, and reflects on connected phenomena such as the fatal commodification of social life and the tragic overconfidence of George W. Bush and Tony Blair. Ultimately, Mirror, Mirror shows why self-regard is a necessary and healthy part of life. But it also suggests that we have lost the ability to distinguish--let alone strike a balance--between good and bad forms of self-concern.
这个世界是如此复杂,以至于你无论如何都找不到方向;这个世界遍布虚荣与贪婪,以至于我们不一会儿就成为甜言蜜语的俘虏。以至于,这似乎已经是社会普遍价值的全部内容,似乎这决定着我们喜怒哀乐的所有情绪。可是,事实真的如此吗? 《你就要很独特》,这本书貌似名不见经传,...
评分1. 这本书的名字虽然起的很像畅销小说,但读完之后发现它其实挺正经的,甚至有点读教科书的感觉。前半本书的内容可以读一下,到后半部分有太多关于宗教的东西,读不太出所以然来。 我以为这本书会教人要保持自我,但它是在教人警惕对他人他事漠不关心的自我,作者称其为自大。...
评分《你就要很独特》我想说书的名字我就非常喜欢,一直以来我感觉自己就是这样认同的“自己就要很独特”。看了这本书还不到三分之二的时候,我就确定我喜欢这本书,我要至少读两遍,将其中的思想深深地注入自己的心中。书中的价值观和说话我非常赞同。现如今社会,日益物质化社会...
评分阅读英国著名哲学家西蒙 布莱克本的《你就是很独特》,很容易被中文译名误导。就如同我一般在读的过程中一直在思考内容与书名的联系,却更像是带着一副镣铐在阅读,怀着一种目标性在思考,反而影响阅读的体验。所以建议读者先摒弃这个中文译名,全身性的琢磨作者提出的问题,讲...
