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.
無神論者生孩子是不道德的。一個結論。
評分已經存在的人討論虛空就是怎麼說都行吧,總不會有鬼來找你。以及日語版翻譯的一塌糊塗????
評分整本書建立在最簡單的範疇謬誤的基礎上:說不存在的的人是更快樂還是更痛苦就像說桌子是快樂還是痛苦一樣可笑。better never to have wasted time on this book
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。
評分翻瞭一章不到……觀點堪稱驚世駭俗,但雙重標準不能讓人信服
从思想性来讲,我认为Dr. Benatar的这本Better Never to Have Been已经做到了最好。 其实反出生主义的核心概念比较好理解,我在另一篇文章[《为什么生孩子永远是个错误》]通过Dr. Bentatar的论点证明了为什么生孩子对这个“潜在的孩子”来说永远是个错误,感兴趣的可以看一下。...
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...

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...
