十六世纪人文作家蒙田的传记,作者的写法比较特别,以“我们问:如何生活?”为引,从若干个主题片段对蒙田的身份、亲友关系、生活经历,以及最重的篇幅思想和创作一一串连,给出回答。 每一章的题目都非常抓人眼球,看着有点标题党的意思,但内容还是干货满满的,从个人的传记...
评分随笔作家,这种职业往往介于家政服务和超市促销之间。 每个人都可以推门走进去,看看内容、问问价格,带着自己想要的东西离开。所以,在蒙田这里,古人看到了斯多葛主义,笛卡尔、帕斯卡发现了怀疑论,浪漫主义者找到人性和自然,伍尔夫得到了意识流,解构主义者得到了盟友的支...
评分蒙田有一句话:“生活本身就是目标,生活本身就是目的。” 或许因为太多人渴望听他讲生活意义,所以他只得给出这样一个放之四海而皆准——也就等于什么也没说——的答案;或许,这正是蒙田对生活的看法。 蒙田的生活态度,接近于佛陀。有一个故事说,有人问佛陀人生的意义是什...
评分 评分自从萨拉·贝克韦尔的《存在主义咖啡馆》于去年底由北京联合有限公司推出了,这位英国女作家就引起了读书界的关注。这次《阅读蒙田,是为了生活》是她的一部八年前出版的关于蒙田的作品和他的传记的书籍。蒙田在中国的名气不是非常大,但也算不小。一直有一些读者和学者关注他...

Brilliant, original, funny and moving — a vivid portrait of Montaigne, showing how his ideas gave birth to our modern sense of our inner selves, from Shakespeare's plays to the dilemmas we face today.
How to get on well with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love— such questions arise in most people's lives. They are all versions of a bigger question: how do you live? How do you do the good or honourable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy?
This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-92), perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them 'essays', meaning 'attempts' or 'tries'. Into them he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog's ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller, and over four hundred years later, Montaigne's honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come to him in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment— and in search of themselves.
This book, a spirited and singular biography (and the first full life of Montaigne in English for nearly fifty years), relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. It traces his bizarre upbringing (made to speak only Latin), youthful career and sexual adventures, his travels, and his friendships with the scholar and poet Etienne de La Boétie and with his adopted 'daughter', Marie de Gournay. And as we read, we also meet his readers— who for centuries have found in Montaigne an inexhaustible source of answers to the haunting question, 'how to live?'
