內容簡介
“To philosophize is to learn how to die.” —Cicero; assassinated by order of Mark Antony “One who no longer is cannot suffer.” —Lucretius; suicide, allegedly driven mad by a love potion “Life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” —Hobbes; died in bed, age 91 In this collection of brief lives (and deaths) of nearly two hundred of the world's greatest thinkers, noted p...(展開全部) “To philosophize is to learn how to die.” —Cicero; assassinated by order of Mark Antony “One who no longer is cannot suffer.” —Lucretius; suicide, allegedly driven mad by a love potion “Life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” —Hobbes; died in bed, age 91 In this collection of brief lives (and deaths) of nearly two hundred of the world's greatest thinkers, noted philosopher Simon Critchley creates a register of mortality that is tragic, amusing, absurd, and exemplary. From the self-mocking haikus of Zen masters on their deathbeds to the last words of Christian saints and modern-day sages, this irresistible book contains much to inspire both amusement and reflection. Informed by Critchley's acute insight, scholarly intelligence, and sprightly wit, each entry tells its own tale, but collected together they add up to a profound and moving investigation of meaning and the possibility of happiness for us all. 著者簡介： 西蒙•克里切利（Simon Critchley） 紐約社會研究新學院哲學教授，洛杉磯蓋蒂研究院訪問學者。他繼承歐陸哲學的研究傳統，研究方向涵蓋哲學史、政治理論、宗教學、美學等領域，著有《不過如此》（Things Merely Are）與《無盡的索求》（In finitely Demanding）等。 譯者簡介： 王志超 歷史學博士，研究方向為古希臘羅馬史。目前任教於山西師範大學歷史系。著有《德摩斯梯尼與雅典對外政策》。 黃超 文學碩士，目前任教於天津外國語大學歐洲語言文化學院。
