Living with Adversity

Eighteen Personal Accounts

Modifié par David Benatar ...

Adversity is widespread. While many people recognize the challenges posed by destitution, disease, disability, or discrimination, considering only these conditions seriously underestimates how much adversity there is. We meet and interact with many people, but only rarely do we know anything about the hardships they confront. The eighteen personal accounts in this collection provide a range of ... En savoir plus

Surgery inevitably inflicts some harm on the body. At the very least, it damages the tissue that is cut. These harms often are clearly outweighed by the overall benefits to the patient. However, where the benefits do not outweigh the harms or where they do not clearly do so, surgical interventions become morally contested. Cutting to the Core examines a number of such surgeries, including infant ... En savoir plus

Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence

par 大衛・貝納塔, David Benatar ...

Traduit par 李屹 ...

Collections Livre 7 - Ponder
出生在世永遠是嚴重的傷害使人免受折磨的唯一方法，是自始就不要把人生下來「生命糟透了，沒被生下來還比較好。誰那麼幸運？萬中無一。」——猶太妙語「一想到把某人帶到世上，就讓我不寒而慄……願我的肉體澈底壞朽！願我永不會將活在世上的無聊和恥辱傳給任何人！」——福樓拜「假使人是單憑純粹理性的行使，決定要不要生小孩，人類還會繼續存在嗎？」——叔本華本書為反生育主義的經典著作。大多數人認為，誕生於此世或繁衍後代是件好事，或至少並非傷害；然而南非哲學家大衛・貝納塔挑戰了這樣的預設，他透過「痛苦與愉悅的不對稱性」、「生命品質並非好事減壞事」等論點證明，出生在世永遠是嚴重的傷害。貝納塔也據此主張人類不應生育，以免製造無謂的痛苦。在他看來，透過自然滅絕達到「零」人口，才是道德正確的做法。人存活於世，必然會經歷各種痛苦，如肉體上的飢餓、... ...

The Harm of Coming into Existence

Version Longue

Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into ... En savoir plus
