We Walk Beside You

世事遊戲，至少兩種。一種是有限遊戲，一種是無限遊戲。有限遊戲以取勝為目的，無限遊戲以延續遊戲為目的。──詹姆斯．卡斯（James Carse） 紐約大學榮譽教授卡斯在本書中向我們展示了兩種截然不同的人生遊戲玩法。有限的遊戲在受限的邊界內遊玩，以獲勝、功成名就為目標，但最終玩家也受到過往成就頭銜的束縛；無限的遊戲則與邊界共舞，對生活有著無限想像，對每日意料之外的事物感到興奮，玩家不是為了爭輸贏而競賽，只是想要玩這場遊戲而希望遊戲能夠一直持續下去。當我們玩遊戲時，我們在做什麼？有限與無限遊戲如何影響我們的生活方式？ 我們身處何方、為何玩遊戲、如何進行遊戲，卡斯優雅且睿智地探索了這些問題，以驚人的觀察梳理出哲學家眼中的競技世界，從運動場和棋盤上的有限遊戲到文化和宗教中發現的無限遊戲——讓我們所知道的一切得到啟發和改變。全書沿著卡斯令人拍案叫絕的新理解展開，從女演員如何扮演角色到性行為與繁衍，從邪惡的本質到科學的本質。 最終，卡斯表示，有限遊戲可能會帶來財富和地位、權力和榮耀；但無限遊戲會提供更微妙、更宏偉的體驗。當「有限遊戲追求生命是嚴肅的，而無限遊戲追求生命是歡樂的」；因此，為什麼要停下來？這似乎是作者對讀者的詰問。為什麼要滿足於已經達到的成就與貢獻呢？為什麼不繼續玩遊戲呢？ 這是一本充滿洞察力與人生格言的作品，出版至今超過三十年仍經典不衰。有限遊戲是劇場化的，有著既定的劇本與情節；無限遊戲則作廢所有劇本，有著無限向前開敞的傳奇未來。邀請你一起登入無限遊戲的伺服器。

#鯨向海詩集《精神病院》經典復刻版。#較之現代科技的瘋狂遞變，詩集的態勢是堅定永恆的。⋯⋯我們總是急於見到那些寫詩的人，更甚於好好研讀他們的詩，這個時代的氛圍似乎是這樣的。詩集的處境，有時更像是座落在荒郊野外的一座精神病院。#你是那種比較強的風我的靈魂依附在上面是那麼容易散落始終記得那些年被《精神病院》擊中的日子。我常幻想走在秋天的路上一抬頭就看見你巨大，而且懾人的美麗不斷落下卻又沒有一片要擊中我
