摘要
卢梭的同时代人对追求幸福的解释往往把幸福界定为减轻不幸或者通过娱乐回避不幸。数学家莫佩尔蒂试图用数学方法计算出人类生活的幸福与痛苦,从而主张追求幸福只会增加欲望与满足之间的间隔,进而用斯多葛式节制欲望的方法来追求幸福;霍布斯认为没有完全满足的欲望,幸福是从欲望到欲望的权力欲求。卢梭则主张用当下的享受来代替追求幸福,用新的关注我们自身的方式来代替娱乐并分散我们的注意力,他认为,延迟满足而不是追求满足才能经常增加幸福,从而为追求幸福提供一种新的可能性。
This essay will discuss the account of Rousseau and his contemporary on the pursuit of happiness.Rousseau’s contemporary mathematician Maupertuis tries to calculate the goods and evils of human life,and suggests that the pursuit of happiness merely increase the interval between desire and satisfaction,so he makes use of Stoic restricting the desire to pursue the happiness.Hobbes thinks there is no fully satisfied desire and the happiness is the power longing from desire to desire.And Rousseau’s alternative is to replace the pursuit of happiness with present enjoyment and to replace the distraction from ourselves with a new focus on ourselves.And he insists that putting off rather than pursuing satisfaction can often increase pleasure.That will reopen a new possibility for the pursuit of happiness.
