About :

Kieran Setiya is a successful philosophy professor, a happy family man – and has chronic pain. He sees philosophy as a remedy for daily suffering: it teaches him that a happy life is not the same as a good life. Topics in this episode: 00:00 Is life in the western world really that hard? 04:02 How can you live a good life despite pain? 12:08 How can philosophy help when life is hard? 32:10 What is a happy life? What is a good life? 43:50 Why a life focused on goals makes us unhappy In his very personal book "Life is Hard", the philosopher Kieran Setiya reflects on philosophical recipes for dealing with pain, fear and frustration, but also with loneliness and hopelessness. He categorically rejects cheap consolation tactics: "It will be okay!" or "Everything happens for a reason!" He considers these to be inadequate and even hurtful recipes for dealing with the difficulties of life. Instead, he advocates a practice of suffering and mourning and the realization that there are many different ways to lead a good life - especially in view of the fact that deep feelings are usually not possible without risk. Barbara Bleisch and Kieran Setiya take a look at the shades of grey in life and discover a different quality of colour in them.
