摘要
Alain de Botton, FRSL is a Swiss-born British Philosopher and author. His books discuss various contemporary subjects and themes, emphasizing philosophy's relevance to everyday life. is many things, but I think of him as a rare breed of practical philosopher.
In 1997, he turned away from writing novels and instead wrote an extended essay titled How Proust Can Change Your Life, which became an unlikely blockbuster.
His subsequent books have been described as a ‘philosophy of everyday life’ and subjects include love, travel, architecture, religion and work.
