As one of the most influential female philosophers in modern times,Martha Nussbaum has published a large number of influential works,which have a wide impact on many fields.In both ancient and modern times,philosophy revolves around the existence of human beings.Philosophy gives man his deepest needs and helps him to gain spiritual strength in the face of his most pressing perplexities.In this sense,philosophy is compassionate.Nussbaum believes that people often face some important threats to disturb their inner peace in life,that is,various ontological thought diseases of human beings.This disease of the mind is not something we can usually treat with generic drugs.It needs to be treated philosophically.Nussbaum,discusses the ancient Greek era of master treatment ideas and Greece age of ideas,and from the philosophy of Socrates argument as the source,tells the story of the origin of the treatment of philosophy thought,to the spirit of midwifery of Socrates as a way to solve the problem of ideological confusion,to Plato's retire teach people out of its real desire,for spiritual liberation,to the community of Aristotle's ideas is put forward,to help people gain an understanding of the good,to live a happy life.On this basis,Nussbaum also discussed the treatment thoughts in the hellenistic era.Through philosophical argumentation,he explained that human diseases are rooted in wrong ideas,which are closely related to human desires.Nussbaum analyzed the epicurean school's thought of treatment through the philosophical argumentation of treatment,and expressed his views on the treatment of desire.By analyzing the treatment idea of Stoic school,the author points out that natural treatment can help people to gain the freedom of will,but in fact it has its own defects and cannot completely treat the disease of people's mind.The skeptical treatment of faith gives philosophical justification and methodological affirmation.Thus,Nussbaum,puts forward the basic idea of her desire for treatment,through the analysis of the basic structure of emotion,demonstrates the fear of death,passionate emotions such as love,grief,anger,desire is the precondition of problem,thus put forward the overall treatment and soul desires treatment,and represented by desire and passion,and points out the object of desire treatment,puts forward how to eliminate empty desire,so as to achieve the purpose of the fixed belief,to help people get happiness of life.Nussbaum points out that the goals of therapy are:one is to cultivate a philosophical way of life;The second is to determine the relationship between the subject and the truth;The third is to establish the relationship between knowledge and spirit.Fourth,build a community.Nussbaum points out that we live in a consumerist age,where we are richer and more in need of material things than ever before,but modern health has declined dramatically and mental illness,in particular,is on the rise.In today's era of consumerism and money supremacy,people's desire is constantly expanding,and the urgent task is to deal with the relationship between the material world and the spiritual world,otherwise,people will easily sink into the material world,making the spiritual world lack of self,thus leading to a distorted and morbid state.Nussbaum believes that the current mental illness is manifested in the following aspects:such as the lack of belief,the emptiness of soul,the self-degradation,the paralysis of money,material,desire and physical sensory stimulation,and the insecurities and pains of the mind.She pointed out that people are enslaved by desire,which is often reflected in their busy comparison and pursuit of fame and fortune,and they often forget to think about the meaning of their life.Nussbaum pointed out that desire is manifested in ordinary people's infinite desire for physical and spiritual enjoyment.Without the treatment of desire,people will go astray and lose the direction of life.Therefore,it is necessary to clarify what desire is and reasonably define the concept of desire.Desire healing means obeying the logos of nature.Thus,it is the highest good that one should learn in life that the unselfish can become the selfish.In order to improve the quality of life and solve the ideological problems affecting the quality of life,disease,then what is the way of philosophical treatment to alleviate and cure the various ideological diseases encountered by modern people?The theoretical source of Nussbaum's desire treatment thought and the method of how to treat desire provide an effective solution to people's mental troubles and various desires,so that people can obtain a state of peace and tranquility.
