评诺奇克的人生哲学

On Robert Nozick’s Philosophy of Life

人生哲学是一种对人生意义的哲学沉思。诺奇克主张,我们应该在哲学沉思中检验我们的人生,并且在智慧的指引下使我们的人生更有意义。诺奇克讨论了人生哲学的三大主题(幸福、爱情和死亡):虽然幸福是大多数人追求的目的,但是它不应该成为唯一的目的;爱情可以是个人的情感,但它的真正意义在于形成一种“我们”;每个人都避免不了死亡,然而我们可以让生命之光最终更加耀眼。他也探讨了两个神学问题,即上帝存在的证明和罪恶。诺奇克还对自己的政治哲学进行了反思,改变了某些早期的极端自由主义观点,以至我们有理由说出现了两个诺奇克。

The philosophy of life is a philosophical meditation about the meanings of life. Robert Nozick maintained that we should examine our life in those philosophical meditations, and ensue our life be guided by wisdom.Nozick spoke of three subjects(happiness, love and death) in his philosophy of life. Happiness is an end to be pursued by the great majority of the people, but it shall not be the sole end;love may be a feeling, but its true meaning is in“We”which is formed in a process of loving;and there is no escape from death, but the lights of life can be made brighter at the end of it. Nozick discussed two theological questions, that are the ontological argument for God’s existence and the problem of evil. Nozick also made some reflections on his political philosophy, and changed some of his early ideas of libertarianism. As such, one could suggest that there are two Nozicks.
