برخلاف ریویو بقیه دوستان این کتاب کاملا انتظارم رو برآورده کرد. خلاصه و جمع و جور با طنز ظریف ایگلتون.طبق تجربه شخصی فکر میکنم که نارضایتی دوستان در اصل به خاطر ترجمه غیرقابل فهم باشه
well the answer to the meaning of life is not a simple one and the book doesn't claim to have the answer at all. it's the perfect guide line for anyone to analyze meaning and life and the meaning of life .the author got through different points of opinion with absolute subjectivity and since he is originally a literary critic he explained some stuff using literature which i found delightful. Terry Eagleton is so fun to read and his writing is very clear. i enjoyed how to read literature and i enjoyed this one even more.
I have no problem with the fact that the writing style is colloquial and like a conversation, but it's the fact that the conversation meanders into waffle constantly. And in the short book it says, basically, nothing much apart from the obvious...
Aristotle's Work is Classic. It might give the reader, a framework, systematic approach to life. His Essay on Friendship, still stands true. Aristotle's work on Ethics, Politics is relevant to this day.
With regards to Meaning of Life.
Terry doesn't cover, theological traditions or religious tradition's answers.
He explores philosophical traditions responses, specifically Wittgenstein.
For a layman, or average Joe, Wittgenstein might not be pragmatic for his life.
The Author, misses out Religious Traditions-- Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam and Christianity, which all have tackled this important question.
Terry's writing doesn't seem to be organized
I would not recommend this.
