What is the nature of the fundamental relation we have to ourselves that makes each of us a self? To answer this question, Charles Larmore develops a systematic theory of the self, challenging the widespread view that the self's defining relation to itself is to have an immediate knowledge of its own thoughts. On the contrary, Larmore maintains, our essential relation to ourselves is practical, as is clear when we consider the nature of belief and desire. For to believe or desire something consists in committing ourselves to thinking and acting in accord with the presumed truth of our belief or the presumed value of what we desire. Larmore develops this conception with frequent reference to such classic authors as Montaigne, Stendhal, and Proust and by comparing it to other views of the self in contemporary philosophy. He also discusses the important ethical consequences of his theory of the self, arguing that it allows us to better grasp what it means to be ourselves and why self-understanding often involves self-creation. "The Practices of the Self" is that rare kind of lucid yet rigorous work that transcends disciplinary boundaries.

這本書很有意思,以本真性為主題,不僅涉及到瞭與自我相關的從薩特到當代行動哲學的當代哲學討論,而且還以司湯達、濛田、普魯斯特等文學文本為例證。行文流暢、旁徵博引,並且有自己獨到見解。前麵兩章和最後第6、7章更有趣,而中間的章節有點重復,隻是反反復復變著說法講同樣的觀點。作者很多觀點源自法國哲學和文學,而我覺得很多地方都像是對黑格爾的注釋。
