Podcasts about setiya

Philosophers and theologians offer different answers to how we should feel about the losses we confront in midlife. Kieran Setiya, a philosopher teaching at MIT, wrote a terrific recent book on midlife crisis. Dave Schmelzer highlights some of Setiya's best stuff, including Setiya's takes on missed opportunities, why we can simultaneously regret and not regret where our lives have taken us, and whether there is help for those moments when we realize we're not as far from dying as we once were.Mentioned on this podcast: Kieran Setiya's book, Midlife: A Philosophical Guide

Jeg hørte en episode av podcasten til Sam Harris hvor han snakket med filosofen Kieran Setiya. Han hadde skrevet boken med tittelen Midlife: A Philosophical Guide (Princeton University Press). Denne boken hadde mange aspekter som omkranset mulighetene for å leve et meningsfullt liv, og blant det Setiya diskuterer i boka er forholdet mellom såkalte teliske og ateliske aktiviteter. Dette henter han fra Aristoteles som sa at det er to brede kategorier av aktiviteter som kan gjøre livet meningsfullt: teliske og ateliske aktiviteter.Telos på gresk betyr formål, eller mål. Teliske aktiviteter varierer fra ganske vanskelige og prestisjetunge prosjekter, som å komme inn i den olympiske troppen for en bestemt idrett eller skrive en bok, til de mer vanlige ambisjoner om å ta en høyskolegrad eller få en forfremmelse på jobben. Problemet med teliske aktiviteter er at de genererer et paradoks: Hvis du mislykkes, er du ulykkelig fordi du mislyktes. Men hvis du lykkes, så forsvinner gleden du fikk av å nå målet ditt akkurat i det øyeblikket du oppnår det, eller kort tid etterpå.De fleste av oss har opplevd antiklimakset ved å oppnå et mål. Jeg har skrevet ferdig tre bøker, og hver gang har jeg forventet en veldig tilfredsstillelse, men følelsen var mer i retning av tomhet, etterfulgt av spørsmålet om hva jeg skal gjøre nå. Denne utfordringen er sannsynligvis enda mer presserende for profesjonelle idrettsutøvere. Du jobber hele ditt tidlige liv for å vinne World Cup, US Open eller spille på landslaget. Svært få mennesker oppnår faktisk den slags målsetninger. Men når du først har gjort det, stirrer du på resten av livet ditt, hvor du neppe gjentar den bragden, og selv om du gjentok det, ville det ikke vært det samme. Uansett vil sannsynligvis ikke kroppen din tåle den typen behandling og treningsregimer, så du må "pensjonere deg" i en alder der de fleste bare begynner å få etablert en fast kurs i livet.Så poenget er at teliske aktiviteter kan være svært meningsfulle for folk, men de kan ikke opprettholdes som en varig kilde til mening, og de genererer misnøyeparadokset nevnt ovenfor. Hva så?Aristoteles foreslo at den andre formen for aktiviteter kan komme til unnsetning, ateliske aktiviteter. Dette høres først merkelig ut. Du mener at jeg skal få mening i livet mitt ut av ting som ikke har noe mål? Hva pokker?Men her er det likevel en del viktige elementer: Ateliske aktiviteter gjøres for deres egen skyld, ikke for å oppnå et bestemt mål. For eksempel å gå på tur bare fordi du liker å gå. Eller hvis du ikke driver med en sport fordi du ønsker å bli profesjonell, imponerer andre og lignende, men fordi du liker det. Aktiviteten er sin egen belønning. Og - i motsetning til teliske aktiviteter - er den potensielt sett uendelig fornybar.Uten tvil er de viktigste ateliske aktivitetene i et menneskes liv å tilbringe tid med partneren sin, barna sine (hvis man har noen) og vennene sine. Dette er ting du gjør for deres egen skyld, ikke fordi du sikter mot et fjernt mål. Og de er behagelige, meningsfulle og varer potensielt sett livet ut.

When the going gets tough, the tough get philosophical. Kieran Setiya is a Professor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is known for his work in ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind. Setiya is a co-editor of Philosophers' Imprint, and he is also the author of several books, including Practical Knowledge, Reasons without Rationalism, and Knowing Right From Wrong. Kieren's newest book, Life is Hard, combines philosophy with personal essay. In the book Keiran challenges the idea that happiness should be life's primary pursuit. Instead, he argues that we should try to live well, and living well means how one lives in relationship to difficulty - not without difficulty.  Keiren has a great phrase, "the digressive amplitude of being alive." Life IS oscillation; it's up-down, backward-forward, and expecting anything different is a setup to suffering, adding to whatever hard thing you are experiencing. If you were lucky enough to get a ticket to the ride called life, expect the stomach-churning drop on occasion  In this episode, we cover these topics and more… On thinking philisopshialy  On consolation  Relating to pain   Failure and your credit report  The Experience Machine  Autotelic vs exotelic experience  The metaverse  Some fun with the movie Groundhog Day  For show notes and more, visit www.larryweeks.com.   

En Las Mañanas de RNE hablamos con Kieran Setiya, profesor de filosofía y autor de "La vida es dura: Filosofía para encontrar nuestro camino", un libro que describe como "realista y honesto", que trata cómo vivir bien ante las adversidades de la vida. Setiya considera que existe cierta tendencia a encontrar "nuestro mejor yo" y a mostrar "nuestra mejor vida", especialmente en redes sociales. "No se pone suficiente atención en el hecho de que la vida es dura y que tenemos que vivir en el mundo tal y como es", expresa. El autor confiesa que se siente más atraído por aquellas personas que comparten el sufrimiento y expresan sus vulnerabilidades y, dice, que la clave es entender que la felicidad es un estado subjetivo. "Es uno de los peligros de la autoayuda, que tiene una mirada demasiado egoísta y se centra en el individuo, sin enfocarse en cómo deberíamos vivir y relacionarnos con los demás", destaca.

A philosophical guide to facing life's inevitable hardships.There is no cure for the human condition: life is hard. But Kieran Setiya believes philosophy can help. He offers us a map for navigating rough terrain, from personal trauma to the injustice and absurdity of the world. In this profound and personal book, Setiya shows how the tools of philosophy can help us find our way. Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy as well as fiction, history, memoir, film, comedy, social science, and stories from Setiya's own experience, Life Is Hard is a book for this moment—a work of solace and compassion.Warm, accessible, and good-humored, this book is about making the best of a bad lot. It offers guidance for coping with pain and making new friends, for grieving the lost and failing with grace, for confronting injustice and searching for meaning in life. Countering pop psychologists and online influencers who admonish us to “find our bliss” and “live our best lives,” Setiya acknowledges that the best is often out of reach. Instead, he asks how we can weather life's adversities, finding hope and living well when life is hard.Get the book here:https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9780593538210

Jonathan Bastian talks with Kieran Setiya, professor of philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology about some best practices when it comes to coping with pain, loneliness, loss, and failure. Setiya's latest book is Life Is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way.  “Let's never stop acknowledging that life is hard, not in a bleak way, but I hope, in the end, a constructive way,” Setiya says. “ Try to approach the good life philosophically with attention to that, not some abstract theory” Delve deeper into life, philosophy, and what makes us human by joining the Life Examined discussion group on Facebook.

John Stuart Mill's midlife crisis came at 20 when he realized that if he got what he desired he still wouldn't be happy. Art and poetry (and maybe love) saved the day for him. In this week's episode, philosopher Kieran Setiya of MIT talks about his book Midlife with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Setiya argues we can learn from Mill to help deal with the ennui to which so many midlifers succumb--along with regrets for roads not taken and wistfulness for what could have been. Setiya argues that a well-lived life needs fewer projects and more pursuits that don't have goals or endpoints. He explains why past mistakes can turn out to be good things and how lost chances can help us appreciate the richness of life.

Jonathan Bastian talks with philosopher Kieran Setiya, author of “Midlife: A Philosophical Guide”  about the meaning and feeling of hitting midlife and how philosophy helped provide answers to Setiya's own anxieties and perceived failures. Later, Geoff Dyer, author of “The Last Days of Roger Federer And Other Endings” examines what it means to give up something you love and why last works and best works don't need to follow a chronological order. Delve deeper into life, philosophy, and what makes us human by joining the Life Examined discussion group on Facebook.

Tulisan yang saya buat secara langsung untuk seorang wanita yang saya tidak bisa sebutkan namanya, dengan harapan suatu saat nanti kita bisa bersama dengan ikatan pada akad.

Kieran Setiya, a philosophy professor at MIT, says many people experience a mid-career crisis. Some have regrets about paths not taken or serious professional missteps; others feel a sense of boredom or futility in their ongoing streams of work. The answer isn't always to find a new job or lobby for a promotion. Motivated by his own crisis, Setiya started looking for ways to cope and discovered several strategies that can help all of us shift our perspective on our careers and get out of the slump without jumping ship.

On the surface, Kieran Setiya *02 had nothing to complain about. He had earned tenure as a philosophy professor; he’d published books and journal articles; he enjoyed teaching. But something was missing. “However worthwhile it seemed to teach another class or write another essay, I suddenly was aware, in a way I hadn’t been, of all the things in my life I wasn’t going to do,” Setiya says. He was having a midlife crisis, and he worked through it by talking with friends and digging into philosophical texts. In a new book, Midlife: A Philosophical Guide, Setiya shares what he learned. He spoke with PAW about some of the key takeaways — and the things he still struggles with.

How can you reconcile yourself with the lives you will never lead, with possibilities foreclosed, and with nostalgia for lost youth? How can you accept the failings of the past, the sense of futility in the tasks that consume the present, and the prospect of death that blights the future? In this self-help book with a difference, Kieran Setiya confronts the inevitable challenges of adulthood and middle age, showing how philosophy can help you thrive. You will learn why missing out might be a good thing, how options are overrated, and when you should be glad you made a mistake. You will be introduced to philosophical consolations for mortality. And you will learn what it would mean to live in the present, how it could solve your midlife crisis, and why meditation helps. Ranging from Aristotle, Schopenhauer, and John Stuart Mill to Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir, as well as drawing on Setiya’s own experience, Midlife combines imaginative ideas, surprising insights, and practical advice. Writing with wisdom and wit, Setiya makes a wry but passionate case for philosophy as a guide to life. — Kieran teaches Philosophy at MIT, working mainly in ethics, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind. In addition to Midlife: A Philosophical Guide, he is the author of Practical Knowledge, Reasons without Rationalism, and Knowing Right From Wrong. His work has been featured in Aeon, Hi-Phi Nation, Why? Radio, Five Books, the Guardian, and the New York Times. He has also written about baseball and philosophy.

"Written with charming simplicity and wry humor, Midlife is a philosophically rich source of what might be called 'the higher life hacks' – reflective ways of dissolving the sense of emptiness and regret that tends to hit each of us with the onset of middle age. A work of disarming wisdom."  - Jim Holt (author of Why Does the World Exist?) Have you ever asked yourself, what would my life have been like if I’d gone down another career path? Or wished you could release some past grudge that sits on your shoulder like a squaking parrot? The Contemplify conversation today revolves around questions of meaning, purpose and regret. My guest today is Kieran Setiya, professor of philosophy at MIT. Our conversation today revolves around his latest book, Midlife: A Philosophical Guide, which outlines a helpful framework for wrestling with existential questions. Kieran Setiya is a philosopher who enjoys witty banter as much as delving into the depths of foundational life questions. In our conversation we dive into the waters of the stereotypes of philosophers, the rules for midlife crisis prevention, what we can learn from John Stuart Mill’s nervous breakdown, and what superman can teach us about the afterlife. What makes Kieran’s book Midlife sing is his curiosity and succinct wordsmithing that gleefully ushers you along through the difficult internal terrain. Which you will get a taste of in this conversation. Midlife is for any of you in the early stages, the thrush, or retrospect of the midlife years. Midlife creates a framework for the dizzying existential questions that arrive from new angles as the years accumulate. Learn more about Kieran Setiya a ksetiya.net.
