Here is an original and provocative anthropological approach to the fundamental philosophical question of what makes life worth living. Gordon Mathews considers this perennial issue by examining nine pairs of similarly situated individuals in the United States and Japan. In the course of exploring how people from these two cultures find meaning in their daily lives, he illuminates a vast and intriguing range of ideas about work and love, religion, creativity, and self-realization. Mathews explores these topics by means of the Japanese term ikigai, "that which most makes one's life seem worth living." American English has no equivalent, but ikigai applies not only to Japanese lives but to American lives as well. Ikigai is what, day after day and year after year, each of us most essentially lives for. Through the life stories of those he interviews, Mathews analyzes the ways Japanese and American lives have been affected by social roles and cultural vocabularies. As we approach the end of the century, the author's investigation into how the inhabitants of the world's two largest economic superpowers make sense of their lives brings a vital new understanding to our skeptical age.
是什么让生命值得活?就是对抗愚蠢...整本书还算是斯老师思想的一次概述,结构还算简单明了。但是他的问题是很多时候喜欢陈述和描述问题,而不是去论证。在很多地方就给出给结论,而不进一步论。有点失望。其次斯老师在书中提出了资本主义的三个limits,分别是19世纪丢失savoir-faire;20世纪savoir-faire;21世纪theoretical knowledge。斯老师的本体论还是基于一种知识型的主体,但似乎这么划分三种知识又没对他们共性的【看】给予足够的论证和分析。adoption和adaption的区分我老觉得有点鸡肋...呃,好像只是找了个工具进一步讨论attention。可能接下来不打算再看他的书了...ooops,最主要是他不站拉康!!!
评分比较日本和美国的人生意义之文化区别
评分(gordon之于重庆大厦就相当于孙之于哲学通论吧

评分看了这本书我更加觉得人类学作品的血肉在于故事和人,理论上非常简单,结构也很平面化,但是有些访谈确实很感人。
