內容簡介 哈佛最受歡迎課程之一．以中國哲學思想反思人生哈佛大學最受歡迎的課程之一：古代中國道德與政治理論，教授Michael Puett探討中國哲學家的思想，汲取兩千多年前古人對於自身與社會的反思，帶領讀者重新思索人生。他挑戰現代對於成功的假定，認為人生並不是一條可供遵循的固定路途，而是我們在每分每秒持續創造無限可能的旅程。本書顛覆一切關於美好生活的想像，從過去的智慧裡，啟發未來的嶄新思考。Harvard's most popular professor explains how thinkers from Confucius to Xunzi can transform our daily lives. In the first book of its kind, The Path draws on the work of six of the great - but largely unknown - Chinese philosophers to offer a radical and life-changing guide to human flourishing. By examining the teachings of Chinese thinkers, and explaining what they reveal about our daily lives - from greeting others to raising children - The Path challenges some of our deepest held assumptions. It shows that the way to live well is not to slavishly follow a grand plan, as so much of western thought would have us believe, but rather to follow a path - one of self-cultivation and self-discovery.
