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.

評分你值得拥有,这个欧洲最知名的化妆品广告词,你听了或许不止100次,有什么想法?你可能会买它的化妆品,希望可以光彩照人。英国72岁全球知名的哲学家,却想到把过去自己支离破碎的想法汇结成书,作思想上的亮光,去照耀人类内心复杂的自豪感、虚荣心、自尊心、欲望、贪婪。。。...
評分本书作者的身份是“英国哲学家、学者、评论家”,所以本书的语音可能骗学术一点。很多地方都有着学术研究的风格在,所以想要一口气读完有点吃力。很多地方有非常严谨的印证和论证,倒是比较符合时下的严谨治学之风。所以首先弄懂了这一点才能够准确定位,不然你可能读着读着觉...
