對於相信上帝的人,大多數重要問題都已得到解答。但對於那些無法輕易接受上帝公式的人來說,這些大問題並不是鐫刻在石頭上的答案。我們會適應新的情況和發現,具有靈活性。愛不需要成為命令,信仰也不需要成為教條。我就是我的上帝。
我們在這裡,是為了忘卻教會、政府和教育系統的教條。
我們在這裡,是為了飲啤酒。
我們在這裡,是為了殲滅戰爭。
我們在這裡,是為了嘲笑運命,過著精彩的生活,以至於死神都為帶走我們而顫抖。
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god.
We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system.
We are here to drink beer.
We are here to kill war.
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
—Charles Bukowski, 1988

> 事實上,哲學家們提出了兩種不同的理論,關於哲學如何在什麼樣的情況下以及為什麼而出現。是什麼激發人們提出哲學問題,他們尋求什麼樣的答案?第一個方法,由柏拉圖提出,是對某些看似無法理解但令人印象深刻的事物感到驚奇、驚訝、欽佩或敬畏等積極的理論回應。第二個方法也源於古代,但與黑格爾及其追隨者最為密切相關。這種方法強調,哲學是對我們對世界的一般經驗的負面反應:對明顯不可調和的實際衝突、嚴重的痛苦、真正的損失、經歷的剝奪或虛弱。當櫻花在五月開花時,我不會開始思考哲學,但當政府要求我做某些我發現深感反感和不可原諒的事情,當親人死於隨機暴力時,當我面對我的計劃或我自己的死亡的徹底失敗,或者當我的整個社會似乎致力於顯而易見的自毀行為時,我就會開始思考哲學。在這樣的情況下,我要麼尋找接受失敗和不足的理由,並因此學會忍受,要麼嘗試理解為什麼看似痛苦、挫折和失敗的經驗(實際上)不是這樣的經驗。然後,哲學提供“理由”接受失敗、限制和剝奪,而宗教,特別是一神教,提供了一種補償和奇妙的安慰。

If you have to extend the book <<Changing the Subject: Philosophy from Socrates to Adorno>>, who would you add beyond Adorno?
If I had to extend the book "Changing the Subject: Philosophy from Socrates to Adorno" beyond Adorno, I would consider including the following philosophers who have made significant contributions to philosophy in the 20th and 21st centuries:
Jean-Paul Sartre: Sartre was a French philosopher and existentialist who made important contributions to the study of freedom, consciousness, and the human condition. His work, including "Being and Nothingness" and "Existentialism is a Humanism," has had a significant impact on philosophy and continues to be widely studied and debated.
Michel Foucault: Foucault was a French philosopher and social theorist whose work focused on power and knowledge, particularly how power operates in society and how knowledge is constructed and disseminated. His books, including "The Birth of the Clinic," "Discipline and Punish," and "The History of Sexuality," have had a profound influence on a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, sociology, history, and cultural studies.
Hannah Arendt: Arendt was a German-American philosopher and political theorist who wrote extensively on the nature of totalitarianism, the relationship between power and politics, and the role of the individual in society. Her work, including "The Origins of Totalitarianism," "The Human Condition," and "Eichmann in Jerusalem," continues to be widely read and discussed.
Jacques Derrida: Derrida was a French philosopher and literary critic who is best known for his work on deconstruction, a method of analysis that seeks to reveal the underlying assumptions and contradictions in language and thought. His books, including "Of Grammatology," "Writing and Difference," and "Margins of Philosophy," have had a significant impact on literary theory, philosophy, and cultural studies.
Judith Butler: Butler is an American philosopher and feminist theorist who has written extensively on gender and sexuality, particularly the ways in which gender and sexuality are constructed and performed. Her books, including "Gender Trouble," "Bodies That Matter," and "Undoing Gender," have been influential in shaping contemporary feminist theory and gender studies.
These philosophers represent a diverse range of perspectives and approaches to philosophy, and their work has had a significant impact on the field. Including them in an extended version of "Changing the Subject" would provide readers with a broader understanding of the development of philosophy beyond Adorno and help to illuminate some of the key debates and issues in contemporary philosophy.
