学会生活应该是指学会死亡 - 去承认,去接受生命有限这个绝对的事实 - 没有正面的结果, 没有死后的复活, 或末日审判的赎罪, 为自己或为他人。自柏拉图以来,这一直就是古老哲学的教诲: 做哲学家就是学会如何死亡。
"Learning to live ought to mean learning to die - to acknowledge, to accept, an absolute mortality - without positive outcome,or resurrection, or redemption, for oneself or for anyone else. That has been the old philosophical injunction since Plato: to be a philosopher is to learn how to die." - Jacques Derrida
