Abstract

The role and value of happiness in the work of Paul Ricoeur remains an understudied theme. It is especially Ricoeur’s unique dialectical understanding of happiness, unhappiness, and chance which brings a crucial and much-needed insight and correction with regard to the understanding of happiness in our contemporary culture. For Ricoeur, happiness is always in relation to unhappiness, and it appreciates chance within the striving–receiving tension that remains characteristic of happiness. This understanding of happiness provides an alternative to the destructive notions of happiness that leave us trapped in the hedonistic treadmill, the endless unsatiable desires of our existence, the narcistic satisfaction of our needs, and the infinite unhappy pursuit of happiness.

幸福在保罗-利科尔作品中的作用和价值
幸福在保罗-利科尔作品中的作用和价值,仍然是一个未被充分研究的主题。尤其是呂科爾對幸福、不快樂和偶然性的獨特辯證理解,為我們當代文化中對幸福的理解帶來了關鍵而急需的洞察和糾正。在呂科爾看來,幸福總是與不快樂相關的,它在幸福的特點--爭取-接受的張力中欣賞偶然性。这种对幸福的理解为我们提供了另一种选择,以取代那些使我们陷入享乐主义的 "跑步机"、无休止的无法满足的生存欲望、自恋式的需求满足以及对幸福的无限不快乐追求的破坏性幸福观。
