Summary:
An acclaimed philosopher and new father argues that engaging with beauty can make life worth living
You didnt choose to live this life, in this body, in these conditionsthis delicate and difficult life. Yet when you consider that your existence is fleeting, an inspired sense of urgency can spring forth. Say you often hike with a friend. One day, they propose that you skydive instead. Youre wavering, and they insist:Comeon. You only live once! And soon youre flying through the air. Why embrace a life you did not choose?
InThis Beauty, philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other: seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These clichés are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfathers watch because it is irreplaceable.
Drawing oninsights from aesthetics andhis experiences as a professional skater and new father,Riggle shows us how we can understand the idea that life is beautiful enough to bear repeating. Insightful and deeply humane,This Beauty offersapersonal and searching inquiry into themystery of lifes beauty.
