What is the good life--for me, for us, for the cosmos? Good is an ecocritical enquiry into ethical and political dimensions of aesthetics. Following Aristotle's lead, it starts with ethics as the question concerning what is the good life for me, moving on to politics as the good life for us. Like Aristotle, between ethics and politics it inserts the question of the good life for you and me--the question of love. In the end--which is where we all live today--it goes beyond Aristotle's human-centred approach, insisting that the good life cannot be thought or lived without including technologies and ecologies. A truly cosmopolitan politics is a politics of the cosmos. Learning from indigenous cultures, it speaks from and with nature and machines in the form of gods and ancestors. Packed with examples from banking apps to cave art, economic manifestos to cookery, passing through music, painting, poetry, and film, the book evokes critical traditions from across the world to present a lucid and accessible case for decolonial and ecocritical aesthetics.

什麼是美好的生活——對我、對我們、對宇宙而言?
美好 是對美學的倫理和政治維度的生態批評探究。它遵循亞里士多德的思路,首先從倫理學開始,探討對我而言的美好生活,接著轉向政治學,探討對我們而言的美好生活。像亞里士多德一樣,在倫理學和政治學之間,它插入了對你我而言的美好生活的問題——愛的問題。最終——這正是我們今天所生活的地方——它超越了亞里士多德以人為中心的觀點,堅持認為美好生活無法在不包括技術和生態的情況下被思考或實踐。真正的世界公民政治是一種宇宙的政治。它從原住民文化中學習,以神祇和祖先的形式,與自然和機器對話。書中充滿了從銀行應用程式到洞穴藝術、經濟宣言到烹飪,穿越音樂、繪畫、詩歌和電影的例子,喚起來自世界各地的批判傳統,為去殖民化和生態批評的美學提供清晰且易於理解的論證。作者簡介
