دانلود کتاب Finding meaning in an imperfect world – یافتن معنا در دنیای ناقص

توضیحات

Does life have meaning? Is it possible for life to be meaningful when the world is filled with suffering and when so much depends merely upon chance? Even if there is meaning, is there enough to justify living?

These questions are difficult to resolve. There are times in which we face the mundane, the illogically cruel, and the tragic, which leave us to question the value of our lives. However, Iddo Landau argues, our lives often are, or could be made, meaningfulwe’ve just been setting the bar too high for evaluating what meaning there is.

When it comes to meaning in life, Landau explains, we have let perfect become the enemy of the good. We have failed to find life perfectly meaningful, and therefore have failed to see any meaning in our lives. We must attune ourselves to enhancing and appreciating the meaning in our lives, and Landau shows us how to do that.

In this warmly written book, rich with examples from the author’s life, film, literature, and history, Landau offers new theories and practical advice that awaken us to the meaning already present in our lives and demonstrates how we can enhance it. He confronts prevailing nihilist ideas that undermine our existence, and the questions that dog us no matter what we believe. While exposing the weaknesses of ideas that lead many to despair, he builds a strong case for maintaining more hope. Along the way, he faces provocative questions: Would we choose to live forever if we could? Does death render life meaningless? If we examine it in the context of the immensity of the whole universe, can we consider life meaningful? If we feel empty once we achieve our goals, and the pursuit of these goals is what gives us a sense of meaning, then what can we do? Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World is likely to alter the way you understand your life.

ترجمه ماشینی :

آیا زندگی معنایی دارد؟ آیا زمانی که دنیا پر از رنج است و این همه چیز صرفاً به شانس بستگی دارد، ممکن است زندگی معنادار باشد؟ حتی اگر معنایی وجود داشته باشد، آیا به اندازه کافی برای توجیه زندگی وجود دارد؟

حل کردن این سؤالات دشوار است. زمان هایی وجود دارد که در آن با امور پیش پا افتاده، غیرمنطقی بی رحمانه و غم انگیز مواجه می شویم که باعث می شود ارزش زندگی خود را زیر سوال ببریم. با این حال، ایدو لاندو استدلال می‌کند که زندگی ما اغلب معنادار است یا می‌توان آن را معنادار کرد.

وقتی صحبت از معنای زندگی به میان می‌آید، لاندو توضیح می‌دهد، ما اجازه داده‌ایم که کامل دشمن خوبی شود. ما نتوانسته‌ایم زندگی را کاملاً معنادار بدانیم، و بنابراین نتوانسته‌ایم هیچ معنایی را در زندگی خود ببینیم. ما باید خود را با تقویت و درک معنای زندگی خود هماهنگ کنیم، و لاندو به ما نشان می دهد که چگونه این کار را انجام دهیم.
