谈哲学

一个人喜欢哲学还是不喜欢哲学是天生的,和性格和爱好有直接联系,就象有人喜欢音乐,有人喜欢数学一样,能否学得进去,学出一点名堂出来,天资起决定的作用。哲学一词来于古希腊,字面上就是热爱智慧两个词,定义我看到很多人,博士也好,硕士也好,知识很多,智慧却很少,跟哲学似乎永远无缘的架势。对某一个学科的学习,虽然最后拿到所以我们可以说,一个人或者本来就是或者永远不是哲学家。

The youth who is capable of becoming a philosopher will be distinguished among his fellows as just and gentle, fond of learning, possessed of a good memory and a naturally harmonious mind.
