The Wisdom of Frugality Why Less Is More - More or Less【電子書籍】[ Emrys Westacott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Why philosophers have advocated simple living for 2,500 yearsーand why we ignore them at our peril</strong></p> <p>From Socrates to Thoreau, most philosophers, moralists, and religious leaders have seen frugality as a virtue and have associated simple living with wisdom, integrity, and happiness. But why? And are they right? Is a taste for luxury fundamentally misguided? If one has the means to be a spendthrift, is it foolish or reprehensible to be extravagant?</p> <p>In this book*,* Emrys Westacott examines why, for more than two millennia, so many philosophers and people with a reputation for wisdom have been advocating frugality and simple living as the key to the good life. He also looks at why most people have ignored them, but argues that, in a world facing environmental crisis, it may finally be time to listen to the advocates of a simpler way of life.</p> <p><em>The Wisdom of Frugality</em> explores what simplicity means, why it's supposed to make us better and happier, and why, despite its benefits, it has always been such a hard sell. The book looks not only at the arguments in favor of living frugally and simply, but also at the case that can be made for luxury and extravagance, including the idea that modern economies require lots of getting and spending.</p> <p>A philosophically informed reflection rather than a polemic, <em>The Wisdom of Frugality</em> ultimately argues that we will be better offーas individuals and as a societyーif we move away from the materialistic individualism that currently rules.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,345円

Frugalit? Storie della vita semplice【電子書籍】[ Emyrs Westacott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Da Socrate a Thoreau, la maggior parte di filosofi, poeti e leader religiosi ha tradizionalmente associato la "vita semplice" a saggezza, integrit? e felicit? e considerato cos? la frugalit? come grande virt?. Sebbene in molti abbiano suggerito che il modo migliore di conseguire la felicit? sia abbracciare una vita semplice e modesta, ? pur vero che pochi hanno prestato ascolto. Ma, in fin dei conti, ? davvero cos?? Perch? chi ama il lusso sta facendo qualcosa di sbagliato? In questo saggio, Emrys Westacott passa in rassegna due millenni di storia alla ricerca delle risposte a queste e a molte altre domande, dal modo in cui viviamo alla natura stessa della nostra societ?, dalla filosofia economica moderna alle radici ambientaliste della vita semplice. Con argomenti e considerazioni anche a sostegno di lusso ed eccesso, in una societ? che richiede guadagni alti e forti capacit? di spesa, Westacott offre una riflessione originale e sorprendente alla ricerca delle origini della semplicit?.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,334円

The Virtues of Our Vices A Modest Defense of Gossip, Rudeness, and Other Bad Habits【電子書籍】[ Emrys Westacott ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The hidden value of some of our everyday vices</strong></p> <p>Are there times when it's right to be rude? Can we distinguish between good and bad gossip? Am I a snob if I think that NPR listeners are likely to be better informed than devotees of Fox News? Does sick humor do anyone any good? Can I think your beliefs are absurd but still respect you?</p> <p>In <em>The Virtues of Our Vices</em>, philosopher Emrys Westacott takes a fresh look at important everyday ethical questionsーand comes up with surprising answers. He makes a compelling argument that some of our most common vicesーrudeness, gossip, snobbery, tasteless humor, and disrespect for others' beliefsーoften have hidden virtues or serve unappreciated but valuable purposes. For instance, there are times when rudeness may be necessary to help someone with a problem or to convey an important message. Gossip can foster intimacy between friends and curb abuses of power. And dubious humor can alleviate existential anxieties.</p> <p>Engaging, funny, and philosophically sophisticated, <em>The Virtues of Our Vices</em> challenges us to rethink conventional wisdom when it comes to everyday moral behavior.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,559円
