Kieran Setiya: «La vida es dura»
Full text linkEn el último capítulo de su obra «La vida es dura» Kieran Setiya recupera algunos de los temas que ha tratado a lo largo de este libro, dedicado a examinar de forma desprejuiciada las adversidades de la vida. Ahí enumera algunos conceptos que se deberían dejar atrás para acertar con mayor precisión en la búsqueda del buen vivir. Así, según este autor, profesor de filosofía en el MIT, no estaría mal empezar a desechar: «El concepto de la mejor vida como una directriz o una meta, de ser feliz como el bien humano, del interés propio divorciado del bien de los demás». Otras ideas importante que añade son que «la discapacidad no tiene por qué empeorar la vida y el dolor no tiene por qué dejarnos sin palabras. El amor no tiene por qué merecerse, el duelo no es un error y la mitigación del duelo no supone ninguna traición». La vida nunca es una narración «que va in crescendo hasta alcanzar el clímax, no consiste exclusivamente en hacer cosas. La responsabilidad por la justicia no tiene por qué basarse en la culpa, y aunque no podamos saber si hemos hecho lo suficiente, esa no es razón para no hacer nada. La vida humana no es inevitablemente absurda; hay lugar para la esperanza»
Creativity, vanity and narcissism
Full text linkCreativity matters. Many of humankind’s greatest achievements are the upshot of creativity. Education systems and organizations (allegedly) seek to cultivate creativity, while politicians and governments implement policies to facilitate it. Millions of human beings make choices that are only rational given that being creative is highly prized. From academics, scientists, artists, musicians and engineers to business people and the world of work, creative fulfillment is integral to the lives of many. Traditionally, philosophical work has tended to focus on defining creativity, the key processes or faculties involved and value questions. I will just assume here that an action is creative if it involves someone’s abilities and judgement in appropriate ways that issue in something new and valuable (Gaut 2010: 1040). Elsewhere, I have argued for a new approach that puts character centre stage, in particular arguing for a virtue theoretic approach to exemplary human creativity and what it is to be a creative person (Kieran 2014a and b). What follows is the development of a new challenge to such an approach. The challenge arises from the putative recognition that a degree of narcissism and vanity promotes people’s creativity. If so, the challenge goes, then the virtue theoretic approach to exemplary human creativity either cannot be right or becomes far less attractive in so far as the personal vice of vanity is a creative strength. Independently of how forceful the challenge is, addressing this in detail will force us to examine the nature of vanity and its implications for creative character in some detail
