影片内容介绍
剧情简介
困扰过先哲们的人生难题依然困扰着当今的大众。针对6个对幸福至关重要的主题：自信、自尊、快乐、愤怒、困难、爱情，6位哲学家提出了自己的见解，他们是：苏格拉底、塞内加、伊壁鸠鲁、蒙田、叔本华、尼采。带着哲人们的妙谛，阿兰·德波顿踏上旅途，希望弄清人们快乐的源泉与悲伤的缘由。他走进被赋予固定意义的场所，酒吧、街头、大学校园、商场，思索其对幸福的承诺究竟是真是幻、一些广受推销的惯常观念究竟有几分合理。德波顿富有灵感、旁征博引的哲学思辨，让人对这些普通生活情景中所包含的意义另眼相看，甚至大为感叹。有时，这位作家的执着则令人忍俊不禁，如他笑脸盈盈的旁观剑桥学生参加毕业典礼，却转而对教授提出以下问题：“您是否认为他们所学的是能使自己比他人更幸福的知识？”。站在月色朦胧男女如织的酒吧前，却大谈“不知他们是否清楚自己的行为暗中受到一种生物繁衍后代本能的驱使。”德波顿带观众周游先哲们的故乡，温习他们为世人开出的药方。
分集介绍
【苏格拉底论自信】Socrates on Self-Confidence
Why do so many people go along with the crowd and fail to stand up for what they truly believe? Partly because they are too easily swayed by other people’s opinions and partly because they don’t know when to have confidence in their own.
【伊壁鸠鲁论快乐】Epicurus on Happiness
British philosopher Alain De Botton discusses the personal implications of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341-270BCE) who was no epicurean glutton or wanton consumerist, but an advocate of “friends, freedom and thought” as the path to happiness.
【塞内加论愤怒】Seneca on Anger
Roman philosopher Lucious Annaeus Seneca (4BCE-65CE), the most famous and popular philosopher of his day, took the subject of anger seriously enough to dedicate a whole book to the subject. Seneca refused to see anger as an irrational outburst over which we have no control. Instead he saw it as a philosophical problem and amenable to treatment by philosophical argument. He thought anger arose from certain rationally held ideas about the world, and the problem with these ideas is that they are far too optimistic. Certain things are a predictable feature of life, and to get angry about them is to have unrealistic expectations.
【蒙田论自尊】Montaigne on Self-Esteem
Looks at the problem of self-esteem from the perspective of Michel de Montaigne (16th Century), the French philosopher who singled out three main reasons for feeling bad about oneself – sexual inadequecy, failure to live up to social norms, and intellectual inferiority – and then offered practical solutions for overcoming them.
【叔本华论爱情】Schopenhauer on Love
Alain De Botton surveys the 19th Century German thinker Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) who believed that love was the most important thing in life because of its powerful impulse towards ‘the will-to-life’.
【尼采论困难】Nietzsche on Hardship
British philosopher Alain De Botton explores Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) dictum that any worthwhile achievements in life come from the experience of overcoming hardship. For him, any existence that is too comfortable is worthless, as are the twin refugees of drink or religion.
