The tradition of ancient philosophy is a long, rich and varied one, in which a constant note is that of discussion and argument. This book introduces readers to some ancient debates to engage with the ancient developments of some themes. Getting away from the presentation of ancient philosophy as a succession of Great Thinkers, the book gives readers a sense of the freshness and liveliness of ancient philosophy, and of its wide variety of themes and styles.
冼若冰結課贈書，花了三個晚上讀完，充滿了各種有關古典哲學的「奇思妙想」（比如美狄亞殺子背後的道德哲學、比較哲學中的後殖民主義等等）而非嚴謹論證，倫理學和知識論兩章勉強有一些乾貨，但也並非系統性地、成體系的論述。不過話說回來，有時候地鐵讀物恰恰需要這樣的特質，也和 VSI 的精神比較般配吧。最後一章勉強觸及了希臘人的理性問題與柏拉圖的「詩與哲學之爭」，本來是非常好的關於古典哲學 per se 的課題...冼若冰結課贈書，花了三個晚上讀完，充滿了各種有關古典哲學的「奇思妙想」（比如美狄亞殺子背後的道德哲學、比較哲學中的後殖民主義等等）而非嚴謹論證，倫理學和知識論兩章勉強有一些乾貨，但也並非系統性地、成體系的論述。不過話說回來，有時候地鐵讀物恰恰需要這樣的特質，也和 VSI 的精神比較般配吧。最後一章勉強觸及了希臘人的理性問題與柏拉圖的「詩與哲學之爭」，本來是非常好的關於古典哲學 per se 的課題，但作者可能出於種種考量沒有著墨，對「理性」的討論也大多是一些陳舊公論，多少有些遺憾。值得一提的是作者的寫作文筆非常華麗，應當是非常好的半學術性 prose 寫作的範本，很多小品詞和小短語的使用特別生動。(展开)
嗯，新知识：看古代哲学文献——西方古代哲学文献——的时候，遇到“幸福”，“美德”这些字眼的时候，不能拿现代人的眼睛看... ... 古人说的幸福、美德，跟今人说的这两个概念，完全是两码事。 HAPPINESS AND PLEASURE Happiness in ancient ethical thought is not a matter of feeling good or being pleased; it is not a feeling or emotion at all.

Happiness in ancient ethical thought is not a matter of feeling good or being pleased; it is not a feeling or emotion at all. It is your life as a whole which is said to be happy or not, and so discussions of happiness are discussions of the happy life.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
Happiness, 现代汉语翻译成“幸福”，在西方古代伦理思想中，与美好或愉悦的”感觉“（feeling good or being pleased）毫不相干。在他们的概念中，幸福根本不是感觉。 在那时，幸福关乎整个人生，或者全部的生活，而不是稍纵即逝、虚幻飘渺的那些瞬间。
似乎，二者不过是时间长短的区别，只有这些吗？
happiness is the only aim,引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
幸福，被古人定为人生唯一的目标。
We do other things in order to be happy, but it makes no sense to be happy for some further reason.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
幸福是终极目标。人们做事情为了幸福，但不会再用幸福去做任何其他事情。幸福似乎是无用的。
once we are living happily we lack nothing further to be living well.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
幸福到来之时，就是生活无忧无虑之时。
Pleasure, however, is more naturally taken to be something episodic, something you can feel now and not later.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
Pleasure，大概可以理解为，一时的快感，而且这种快感不会持续，now, not later.
It is something you experience as we perform the activities which make up your life.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
but you cannot, in the ancient way of thinking, be happy one moment and not the next, since happiness applies to your life as a whole.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
Pleasure fixes us on the here and now, the present desire which asks to be satisfied; and this gets in the way of the self-control and rational overall reflection which is required by a life devoted to things that are worth while.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
In fact hedonism, the view that pleasure is our ethical end, is always on the defensive in ancient ethics.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
the present is all that matters, and our lives should be so shaped as to get present pleasure.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
伊壁鸠鲁
the happy life is, in fact, a life of pleasure.
Static pleasure is the absence of bodily pain and mental trouble; it is the state where you are functioning without impediment or discomfort.
Epicurus boldly claims that this state is the highest pleasure that we can achieve – that is, you achieve happiness not by doing things that make you feel good, but by so ordering your life that you achieve this condition of painlessness and tranquillity.
The Epicurean happy life, then, far from being a wild pursuit of fun experience, turns out to be a cautious and risk-aversive strategy for maintaining tranquillity.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
VIRTUE
In modern ethical thought, until quite recently, virtue had become something of a joke concept, one that could be understood only historically and could not be seriously used in ethical thinking.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
这一理解，似乎还没在我们这个文化里形成主流，但也是暗流涌动，不，是汹涌。
In the last decade, however, ‘virtue ethics’ has had a spectacular comeback.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
二十世纪以来，道德似有杀回马枪之势
the virtuous person has to do a lot more than that. She has to develop a disposition, a firm state, of doing the morally right thing. And to get to that point she has to have developed two things, a firm understanding of morality and the willingness to act on it.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
古代，有德行的人，是需要修炼的。不仅内修，而且还要理解并愿意遵循外部的社会行为规范。
The modern conception of virtue is in many ways weaker than this. A virtue is often thought of as a kind of habit of acting in a certain way; this makes the virtues look like separate habits which grow up in locally isolated ways, since it certainly seems that you can develop a habit of generous giving without having a habit of acting bravely.引自 Chapter 3 The happy life, ancient and modern
Ancient philosophy is sometimes taught as a procession of Great Figures, whose ideas the student is supposed to take in and admire. Nothing could be further from its spirit. When we open most works of ancient philosophy, we find that an argument is going on - and that we are being challenged to join in.
