◎内容提要:

 

如何尽可能地活出好的人生,曾是哲学的核心追问,一直占据着亚里斯提卜、伊壁鸠鲁、苏格拉底、柏拉图和亚里士多德等思想家心头最紧要的位置。在此后的几十个世纪中,从人文主义到存在主义,这个问题依旧是一大批哲学家眼中最根本的疑问。

 

那些关于美好生活的观点,是那么货真价实、鞭辟入里、历久弥坚,如果就这样被淹没在一堆时髦的口号标语之下,或者消失在一堆晦涩难懂的哲学语言分析之中,就真是太遗憾了!

◎内容提要:

每个民族都有自己的原始神话,阐明世界的起源,善恶的对立、生活态度与价值观。神话的核心虽是古代、未开化社会的众神与精灵故事,但实际上渐渐与超越时代的民间故事和传说融合。东西方的神话虽然思想渊源不同,却有共通性及普遍性,都是人类共有的财产。

本书作者是日本知名的宗教学者,认为宗教学这门学问不是要向世人传播宗教的价值,而是客观看待作为文化现象的宗教。因此,他集合了五种具宗教色彩、文学性高的神话,合称“五大神话”。作者针对构成宗教世界重要部分的神话,写出让大家感兴趣的指南书。包括主要由多神教与泛灵论所构成的神话领域、提倡有绝对存在伦理的一神教,以及主张开悟的真理、超越求神拜佛的佛教世界观,毫不避讳地视为一系列的事物来介绍。本书也让读者理解经过数千年传颂的东西方神话,如何成为文学典故、艺术作品、史诗电影、动漫电玩的灵感来源。
