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.
Simon Blackburn is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. He was Edna J. Doury Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, and from 1969 to 1990 was a Fellow and Tutor at Pembroke College, Oxford. He is the author of The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy and the best-selling Think and Being Good, among other books.

評分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,...
評分这本书的封面很是喜欢,排版不错,颜色搭配不错,而内页的排版也挺好,上下左右边距不浪费,每页都有章节提示,书着书能参考着章节重点。 这本书在导言中就讲到了“自我”的精髓,其实,自我不等于自大,自夸等,真正的自我,是能够清楚的认识到自己。现在很多人读《圣经》,可...
評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...
