THE MEANING OF THINGS: APPLYING PHILOSOPHY TO LIFE
Book ID/图书代码： 10010007B19113
English Summary/英文概要： ’The unconsidered life is not worth living’ - Socrates.
Thinking about life, what it means and what it holds in store does not have to be a despondent experience, but rather can be enlightening and uplifting. A life truly worth living is one that is informed and considered so a degree of philosophical insight into the inevitabilities of the human condition is inherently important and such an approach will help us to deal with real personal dilemmas. This book is an accessible, lively and thought-provoking series of linked commentaries, based on A. C. Grayling’s ’The Last Word’ column in the Guardian. Its aim is not to persuade readers to accept one particular philosophical point of view or theory, but to help us consider the wonderful range of insights which can be drawn from an immeasurably rich history of philosophical thought. Concepts covered include courage, love, betrayal, ambition, cruelty, wisdom, passion, beauty and death. This will be a wonderfully stimulating read and act as an invaluable guide as to what is truly important in living life, whether facing success, failure, justice, wrong, love, loss or any of the other profound experience life throws out
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 苏格拉底有句名言，未经反思的生活不值得拥有。所谓“反思的生活”，是一种对诸如价值、目的、社会、人类的命运以及生活的意义等重要问题进行思考而使人生变得丰富多彩的生活。A.C.格雷林认为，思考这些问题犹如“旅行前先查阅地图”一样重要。
本书充满了智慧和启示，旨在给我们提供一幅生活的“素描”。在一系列关于勇气、悲痛、爱情、死亡、希望、背叛、责备、贫穷和消沉等话题的评述中，格雷林给我们提供的不仅仅是由一篇篇论文串联在一起的简单文字叙述，而且还是人类日常生活的真实写照。他劝告我们，要在丰富的哲学思想库中去探求生活的意义和生活本身蕴涵的真谛，从而获得启迪与升华。
本书是一本精彩而催人奋进的书，一本其价值不可估量的生活指南。无论你是面对成功、失败、情感、偏执、爱情、损失、还是生活中的其他深刻经历，它都会告诉你，什么才是生活中真正重要的东西
