Guide to Modern Manners: Navigating the Anxieties of Social Life

內容簡介

內容簡介 現代生活充滿了微小但尖銳的困境：我們在聚會中遇到一個異常無聊的人，卻不知如何不冒犯地離開；在將一位朋友介紹給另一位朋友時，突然發現自己忘記了其中一位的名字；在與新伴侶約會時，偶然遇到舊愛；我們不小心把紅酒灑在主人沙發上……這些困境從某個層面來看可能顯得微不足道，但它們實際上涉及了社交生活中一些最重要、最嚴肅的問題：我們如何在追求自己幸福的同時，尊重他人的敏感性和願望？我們如何真誠地表達善意？我們如何不卑躬屈膝、也不過份感性來展現友善？在與他人相處和應對社交場合時，我們常常感到困惑。本書介紹了二十個常見的社交困境，以及我們對這些困境的可能反應，並為優雅行為提供了一種全新且獨特的哲學。Modern life is full of minor but acute dilemmas: we get stuck at a gathering with someone unusually boring and wonder how to move on without causing offence; in the course of introducing one friend to another, we realise that we have forgotten one of the party’s names; we run into an ex while on an early date with a new partner; we spill red wine across a host’s sofa...Such dilemmas might – at one level – seem desperately insignificant. But they actually belong to some of the largest and most serious themes in social existence: how can you pursue our own agenda for happiness while at the same time honouring the sensitivities and wishes of others; how can you convey goodwill with sincerity; how can you be kind without being supine or sentimental?It is often confusing to know how to act around others and navigate social situations. This book features twenty case-studies on common social dilemmas and our possible responses to them, contributing to a new and original philosophy of graceful conduct.
