Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. In this devastatingly witty new book, Carl Cederström traces our present-day conception of happiness from its roots in early-twentieth-century European psychiatry, to the Beat generation, to Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. He argues that happiness is now defined by a desire to be "authentic", to experience physical pleasure, and to cultivate a quirky individuality. But over the last fifty years, these once-revolutionary ideas have been co-opted by corporations and advertisers, pushing us to live lives that are increasingly unfulfilling, insecure and narcissistic. In an age of increasing austerity and social division, Cederström argues that a radical new dream of happiness is gathering pace. There is a vision of the good life which promotes deeper engagement with the world and our place within it, over the individualism and hedonism of previous generations. Guided by this more egalitarian worldview, we can reinvent ourselves and our societies.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. The question of how to lead a happy and meaningful life has been at the heart of philosophical debate since time immemorial. Today, however, these questions seem to be addressed not by philosophers but self-help gurus, who frantically champion the individual's quest for self-expression and self-realization; the desire to become authentic. Against these new age sophistries, How to Stop Living and Start Worrying tackles the question of 'how to live' by forcing us to explore our troubling relationship with death. For Critchley, philosophy begins with the question of finitude and with his understanding of a key classical theme - that to philosophize is to learn how to die. Learning how to accept both our own and others' mortality as a part of life also raises the question of how to love. Critchley argues that the act of love requires us to give up something of ourselves, to lose control so as to be open to the demands of love. We will never be equal to this demand and so we are brought face to face with our own limitations - one form of which is what Critchley calls our 'originary inauthenticity'. By scrutinizing the very nature of humour, Critchley explores what we need to laugh at ourselves and presents the need to confront the inescapable ridiculousness of life. Reflecting on the work of over 20 years, this book provides a unique, witty and erudite introduction to the thought of Simon Critchley. It includes a revealing biographical conversation with Critchley and a fascinating debate with the critically acclaimed novelist Tom McCarthy about the nature of authenticity. Taken together the conversations give an intimate portrait of one of the most lucid, provocative and engaging philosophers writing today.

Condition: Bueno. : En este innovador libro, Carl Cederström y André Spicer argumentan que la presión constante por maximizar nuestro bienestar ha comenzado a volverse en nuestra contra, haciéndonos sentir peor y provocándonos a aislarnos. 'The Wellness Syndrome' sigue a fanáticos de la salud que llegan a extremos para encontrar la dieta perfecta, atletas corporativos que comienzan el día con una fiesta de baile y auto-monitores que controlan todo, incluidos sus propios hábitos de baño. Este es un mundo donde sentirse bien se ha vuelto indistinguible de ser bueno. Las visiones de cambio social se han reducido a sueños de transformación individual, el debate político ha sido reemplazado por una moralización insípida y la evidencia científica se ha cambiado por delirios de la nueva era. Un diagnóstico animado y humorístico del culto al bienestar, este libro es una guía indispensable para todos los que sospechan de nuestra incesante búsqueda de ser más felices y saludables. EAN: 9780745655611 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Filosofía Título: The Wellness Syndrome Autor: Carl Cederström| Andre Spicer Editorial: Polity Idioma: en Páginas: 200 Formato: tapa blanda.
