Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life

英语教学与研究

[A] Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties fromwars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according toa new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The bookis co-authored by Long Island University’s philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor PanosMourdoukoutas.

[B] The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The philosophy profe ssor says it is asrelevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “There is no expiration ( 失效) date on wisdom,”he says, “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these day, lots ofmisunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry ( 诡辩 ). The nice thingabout ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that wetend not to see life today.”Examine your life

[C] Soupios, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas, developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophy—Aristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first rule—examine your life—is the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Plato’s observation that the unexamined life is not worth living. “The Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions ( 信念 ),” he says. “So take a step back, s witch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships.” Stop worrying about what you can not control

[D] As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No.2: Worry only about things that you can control. “The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,” he says. “And what the Stoics say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan.”

[E] So, Soupios explains, it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond our control. “I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example.” He says. “I mean, there are some cautious steps I can take, but ultimately I can not guarantee myself that. So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and irrational …… 此处隐藏：22030字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
