Oliver Burkeman, author of FOUR THOUSAND
WEEKS______________________________________Pain, Loneliness, Grief,
Injustice ... Hope?Life is hard - as the past few years have made
painfully clear.From personal trauma to the injustice and absurdity
of the world, sometimes simply going on can feel too much. But
could there be solace - and even hope - in acknowledging the
hardships of the human condition? Might doing so free us from the
tyranny of striving for our ",best lives", and help us find warmth,
humanity, and humour in the lives we actually have? Could it
inspire in us the desire for a better world?In this profound and
personal book, Kieran Setiya shows how philosophy can help us find
our way. He shares his own experience with chronic pain and the
consolation that comes from making sense of it.He asks what we can
learn from loneliness and loss about the value of human life. And
he explores how we can fail with grace, confront injustice, and
search for meaning in the face of despair. Drawing on ancient and
modern philosophy, as well as fiction, comedy, social science and
personal essay, Life is Hard is a book for this moment - a work of
solace and compassion.It draws us towards justice, for ourselves
and others, by acknowledging what it means to be alive.
