《面对生活不可避免的困难的哲学指南》
人类的境况无药可救：生活是艰难的。但基兰·塞蒂亚认为哲学可以提供帮助。他为我们提供了一张穿越崎岖地形的地图，从个人创伤到世界的不公和荒谬。在这本深刻而个人化的书中，塞蒂亚展示了哲学工具如何帮助我们找到自己的路。借鉴古代和现代哲学以及小说、历史、回忆录、电影、喜剧、社会科学以及塞蒂亚自己的经历故事，《生活是艰难的》是一本适合当下的书——一本安慰和同情的作品。温暖、平易近人、幽默，这本书是关于充分利用糟糕的情况。它为应对痛苦和结交新朋友提供了指导，为哀悼失去和优雅地失败提供了指导，为面对不公正和寻找生活中的意义提供了指导。与告诫我们“找到幸福”和“过最好的生活”的流行心理学家和在线影响者相反，塞蒂亚承认最好的往往是遥不可及的。相反，他问我们如何经受住生活的逆境，在生活艰难时找到希望并好好生活！
人生维艰，苦海无涯，
唯有读哲，方得始终。
A philosophical guide to facing life’s inevitable hardships. There is no cure for the human condition: life is hard. But Kieran Setiya believes philosophy can help. He offers us a map for navigating rough terrain, from personal trauma to the injustice and absurdity of the world. In this profound and personal book, Setiya shows how the tools of philosophy can help us find our way. Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy as well as fiction, history, memoir, film, comedy, social science, and stories from Setiya’s own experience, Life Is Hard is a book for this moment—a work of solace and compassion. Warm, accessible, and good-humored, this book is about making the best of a bad lot. It offers guidance for coping with pain and making new friends, for grieving the lost and failing with grace, for confronting injustice and searching for meaning in life. Countering pop psychologists and online influencers who admonish us to “find our bliss” and “live our best lives,” Setiya acknowledges that the best is often out of reach. Instead, he asks how we can weather life’s adversities, finding hope and living well when life is hard.
