This Beauty- A Philosophy of Being Alive by Nick Riggle
An acclaimed philosopher and new father argues that engaging with beauty can make life worth living You didn't choose to live this life, in this body, in these conditions this delicate and difficult life. Yet when you consider that your existence is fleeting, an inspired sense of urgency can spring forth. Say you often hike with a friend. One day, they propose that you skydive instead. You're wavering, and they insist- ,Come ,on. You only live once! And soon you're flying through the air. Why embrace a life you did not choose? In ,This Beauty, philosopher Nick Riggle explores the beauty of being alive by investigating the things we say to inspire ourselves and each other- seize the day, treat yourself, you only live once. These cliches are at best vague, at worst stupid. They imply that you should do something wild with your life because your life is precious, a little like saying you should go swimming with your grandfather's watch because it is irreplaceable. Drawing on insights from aesthetics and his experiences as a professional skater and new father, he develops the thought that beauty the beauty of this day, this body, this moment, these people can make life worth embracing, worth engaging with and amplifying as beautiful.
