how to keep your cool
很多人都認為Stoic(斯多葛派)哲學在今日已是毫無用處。但斯多葛派哲學家和政治家Seneca關於控制個人生活和政治中憤怒的作品却提供給我們永恆的智慧 在他的文章“論憤怒”(De Ira)中,Seneca(公元前 4 年至公元 65 年)認為憤怒是最具破壞性的激情:“沒有瘟疫讓人類付出了更大的代價。”他自己的生命證明了這一點,他在憤怒的皇帝Caligula手下勉強保全,但下一刻却死在Nero手上。 這本《論憤怒》是Seneca重要選集的精彩新譯本,以啟發性的介紹和對開頁上的原始拉丁語呈現,為讀者提供了避免和管理憤怒的永恆指南。它生動地說明了為什麼情緒如此危險,為什麼控制它會給個人和社會帶來巨大的好處。 憑藉他豐富的修辭,包括歷史例子(尤其是Caligula可怕的統治時期)、軼事、俏皮話和滔滔不絕的口才,Seneca以越來越強烈的方式反對憤怒。就像一個火與硫磺的傳教士,他描繪了憤怒使我們面臨的道德危險的嚴峻畫面,將世界上幾乎所有的罪惡都追溯到這個有毒的源頭。但他隨後以另一條道路的幸福願景提升了我們,一條與基督教和佛教倫理產生共鳴的寬恕和同情之路。 諷刺的是在暴君的時代,Seneca雖然曾任Nero皇帝的導師及顧問,但也難逃脾氣暴燥的Nero迫害:被迫以切開血管的方式自殺 Seneca關於憤怒的想法從未像今天這樣重要,因為不文明的話語越來越多地影響了公眾辯論。無論是尋求個人成長還是政治復興,讀者都會在 Seneca 的智慧中找到解決憤怒時代弊病的寶貴解藥。 參考:Martha Nussbaum 《恐懼君主制the monarchy of fear 》 《欲望的治療:希臘化時期的倫理理論與實踐the therapy of desire》
