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.
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.

评分我想要做一个独特的人,书中对人自我的描述让我颇有感慨。 自恋是好的还是坏的?我们是不是应该爱自己,爱自己的不足,也爱自己的自大?这些都需要有一种正确的方式和态度来面对。 如何在我们成功的时候,或有成就的时候,正确的来看待自己?这是我最需要知道的。 人都是骄傲的...
评分本书作者是英语哲学家、学者、评论家,西蒙•克莱克本。曾被美国教育界评为“全球50位健在殿堂级哲学家TOP3”。作者指出,一方面过度的关注自我是有害的,如道德哲学家们对自我的差评,另一方面,没有自我意识又是恐怖的,如不知道自己是谁,艺术家会失去自己的个性。正如作...
