死亡，是最難痊癒的愛的傷痛。如果說我們走不出死亡的喪慟，最難熬的不是誰消失不見了，而是他無處不在，在記憶和日常中都變得更加鮮明。本書是一個父親的懺悔錄，是一位哲學教授在兒子死後經歷的漫長重建之路，他透過精神分析試著理解為什麼事情會走到這一步。從執著於解開兒子自殺丟給他的一連串難以回答的問題，到檢視內在真實的自己，最終能夠面對生命最難以承受的失去，接受生命中的種種未知。-------------------十五年前的事了，感覺卻像十五分鐘前。十五年前的那個深夜，理查接到前妻的電話——他們二十三歲的兒子奧利弗自殺了。他知道這一天遲早會來，因為過去大半年他看著兒子陷入毒癮的黑暗世界，只是他未曾預料到消息來臨時心會這麼痛。他失去一個他毫不猶豫會為之付出自己生命的東西。兒子死後，他像著了魔似的想要弄清楚他到底為什麼會自殺，以及當初如果自己做了什麼不同的決定，是否有可能阻止憾事發生。他找上了心理分析師，不是因為他也出現自戕的念頭，而是因為他亟欲知道為什麼會發生這種事。他想要理解兒子在想什麼，也想要理解自己。其實他對心理分析並不陌生，他本身是一位哲學教授，主要研究正是心理分析理論以及現代哲學的交會點。經過多年的悲傷與探索，事情開始變得有些不同。他似乎重拾了生活，重新認識了自己。而他的平靜與重生來自於接受他不知道也無法知道的事，很多結果是他這個終身追求知識與理解的哲學教授也無法明白的；他從純粹的理性計算轉而更能夠容忍和擁抱不確定性。兒子的生與死，引領他看見愛的奧義。首先是允許自己卸下罪惡感；重點不在於放過自己，而是放下對方。接著是承認悲傷，悲傷會把人掏空，卻也讓我們更能夠承載他人的情感。最終則是接受生命中種種未知，沒必要為了活下去，用唯美的幻想遮蓋內心缺口，而是要能夠擁抱這些傷，換個方式理解那些永遠無法預知的事。 ◎以精彩故事搭配絕妙文筆，帶我們與作者一同走過悲慟的心路歷程，迎向能從悲傷中獲取的智慧和成長。──暢銷作家Thomas Brockelman◎本書以穿透靈魂的力量，描述失落與奇蹟般重獲新生及創造力的過程。作者述說面對兒子成癮及自殺的艱難歷程，從一開始深深揪住讀者的心，力道隨著書頁疊加。這是在面對喪慟後餘生的主題上，我看過最打動人心的作品。對於曾遭遇不幸的人來說，這本書是撫慰心靈的獻禮。──多倫多大學特聘教授Mari Ruti ◎繼奧古斯汀《懺悔錄》之後最具哲思突

Mari Ruti combines theoretical reflection, cultural critique, feminist politics, and personal anecdotes to analyze the prevalence of bad feelings in everyday life. Proceeding from a playful engagement with Freud's idea of penis envy, Ruti fans out to a broader consideration of neoliberal pragmatism and a trenchant critique of gender relations.

In its quest for effective forms of political resistance, queer theory often promotes the opting out of our culture's dominant ideals––particularly its neoliberal narratives of success, cheerfulness, good performance, and self-actualization––to the extent that the field seems synonymous with a permanent state of critique. How should we understand this stance? Is it the best foundation for queer theory?In The Ethics of Opting Out, Mari Ruti cautions queer theorists against turning antinormativity into a new norm while highlighting the ways in which opting out rewrites ethical theory and practice in genuinely transformative ways. She offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of queer theory, including debates about affect theory, subjectivity, negativity, defiance, agency, and bad feelings. In doing so, Ruti provides an accessible yet theoretically rigorous account of the political divisions that have animated the field over the last decade. The Ethics of Opting Out grapples w

Essential reading for scholars and students in critical theory, psychoanalysis, and gender studies.How does the self care for itself in the posthumanist era? What psychic processes might allow the postmodern subject to find meaning and value in its life? Is it possible to delineate a theory of psychic potentiality that is compatible with poststructuralist models of fluid, decentered, and polyvalent subjectivity?Reinventing the Soul offers a new perspective on what it means to be a human being and to strive in the world despite the wounding effects of the socialization process. Drawing on the rich legacies of French poststructuralism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Ruti builds an affirmative alternative to the post-Foucaultian tendency to envision subjectivity as a function of hegemonic systems of power. She proposes that the subject's encounter with the world also necessarily activates the psyche's innovative potential. By focusing on matters of creative agency, imaginative empowerment, i
