商品描述
A defining feature of being human is our ability to think. We refer to ourselves, after all, as Homo sapiens. But in a world where experiencing and achieving as much as possible is the number one preoccupation, there is little room for reflection. Technology is also making everything easier, eroding the need for us to think at all.
Of course deep, critical thinking can be difficult, sometimes painful, and it takes time. But it is fundamental to our well-being. In this new book, bestselling philosopher and psychologist Svend Brinkmann argues for a return to the thoughtful life, where we learn to think well, to think deeply, to lose ourselves in reverie and tune in to our inner voice. By spending time in our thoughts and letting them wander freely, we will discover that thinking is one of the most enriching things we can do in life - and one of the most human, too.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一個人類的定義特徵是我們的思考能力。畢竟,我們稱自己為 Homo sapiens。然而,在一個體驗和成就盡可能多的世界裡,反思的空間卻很有限。科技也使一切變得更容易,侵蝕了我們思考的必要性。
當然,深入且批判性的思考可能是困難的,有時甚至是痛苦的,並且需要時間。但這對我們的福祉是根本性的。在這本新書中,暢銷的哲學家和心理學家 Svend Brinkmann 主張回歸思考的生活,在這裡我們學會良好地思考、深入地思考,沉浸在沉思中,並傾聽我們內心的聲音。通過花時間在我們的思緒中,讓它們自由漫遊,我們將發現思考是我們生活中最充實的事情之一——也是最具人性的事情之一。
