“把生命带到这个世界上”的决定背后存在着各种理由。这本书告诉我们,从哲学上来说,这些理由都是不道德的。
评分读了1/3实在读不下去了,从句绕来绕去,头不昏太难。立论的基础是4个公设:1快乐的存在是good,2痛苦的存在是bad,3快乐的缺席是not bad,4痛苦的缺席是good。而存在的人总是痛苦多于快乐,bad-good=bad;不存在的人则是good-not bad=good。
评分在功利主义内部论证:最好的事是从未出生。而且人有道德义务,不让孩子降生于世。很有趣,作者来过几天,一个很好玩的vegan。

评分整本书建立在最简单的范畴谬误的基础上:说不存在的的人是更快乐还是更痛苦就像说桌子是快乐还是痛苦一样可笑。better never to have wasted time on this book
Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence---rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should---they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Although the good things in one's life make one's life go better than it otherwise would have gone, one could not have been deprived by their absence if one had not existed. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the 'anti-natal' view---that it is always wrong to have children---and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about foetal moral status yield a 'pro-death' view about abortion (at the earlier stages of gestation). Anti-natalism also implies that it would be better if humanity became extinct. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.
大部分人会认为,只有当一个生命在出生后所遭受的痛苦多于快乐时,我们才可以说这个生命不如不出生。在《宁可不曾存在过》(Better Never to Have Been)一书中,作者 Daivd Benatar 认为事实并不仅仅如此。他通过哲学分析详细阐述了为什么出生总是一种伤害,为什么生育是不道...
评分You'd better not to do that. 你最好别做这事。 所以,Better to Never Have Been Born,意思是,最好从未出生。 这句话其实深埋在悲剧性地理解人生的灵魂里。尼采在《悲剧的诞生》中记载过弥达斯国王遭遇的来自精灵的智商暴击:“最好的东西是你根本得不到的,这就是不要降生...
