After seeing Alain De Botton of the Guardin Hay Festival [see my comment] and his ability to discuss philosophy with the crowd in an easy-to-understand way, I decided to read his work ' The Conlolations of Philosophy' .
Prior to this, Alan had released the novel "Kiss and Announcement", "Prose in Love" and "Romantic Movement", and then gave up the storytelling mode of how to change your life with Proust. ADB has always believed in how it sees it through "philosophical comfort."
As a person who likes to read challengingly, after reading, I have some doubts about this book. This is stupidity about philosophy. But then again, I have always felt that the high-level class of philosophical debates will turn this debate into a tendency to be a source of etymology. The beauty of this book is that De Botton combines ancient ideas with the anxiety of modern culture in an extremely clear sense.
I appreciate his negative judgment of Friedrich Nietzsche and his influence on Hitler's anti-Semitism spirit. He sees Socrates as an unwelcome wanderer, he maintains his beliefs, which makes readers hope to win in adversity. His analysis of Seneca and his heartbreaking philosophy can help us understand. This is a nostalgic provocation.
Over time, retrospective philosophical thinking has inspired and shaped the culmination of modern thought and spread it to more people who will never have the opportunity to learn from great thinkers in the old days. However, many people think that philosophy only applies to the elite because they are still isolated by modern thought professors who seem to secretly try to educate the masses like Alain De Botton. It may be that it is pretentious, perhaps its arrogance, or maybe they don't want to lose their advantage because of the lack of a popular contest like Socrates.
In my opinion, Alain is rewarding for his persistence. I highly recommend this book, and I would like to know that his ideas will take him to the next step.
