Excerpt from book: THE RELIGIOUS LIFE. The Double Contest Against Evil.?If an evil afflicts us we can either so deal with it as to remove its cause or else so deal with it that its effect upon our feeling is changed; hence look upon the evil as a benefit of which the uses will perhaps first become evident in some subsequent period. Religion and art (and also the metaphysical philosophy) strive to effect an alteration of the feeling, partly by an alteration of our judgment respecting the experience (for example, with the aid of the dictum "whom God loves, he chastizes") partly by the awakening of a joy in pain, in emotion especially (whence the art of tragedy had its origin). The more one is disposed to interpret away and justify, the less likely he is to look directly at the causes of evil and eliminate them. An instant alleviation and narcotizing of pain, as is usual in the case of tooth ache, is sufficient for him even in the severest suffering. The more the domination of religions and of all narcotic arts declines, the more searchingly do men look to the elimination of evil itself, which is a rather bad thing for the tragic poets?for there is ever less and less material for tragedy, since the domain of unsparing, immutable destiny grows constantly more circumscribed ? and a still worse thing for the priests, for these last have lived heretofore upon the narcoticizing of human ill. Sorrow is Knowledge.?How willingly would not one exchange the false assertions of the homines religiosi that there is a god who commands us to be good, who is the sentinel and witness of every act, every moment, every thought, who loves us, who plans our welfare in every misfortune?how willingly would not one exchange these for truths as healing, beneficial and grateful as those delusions But there are no s...
弗里德里希·尼采(Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900),19世纪德国哲学家,唯意志论和生命哲学主要代表之一,被认为是世界最伟大的思想家之一。
早年在波恩大学和莱比锡大学学习,获博士学位。不到25岁就被聘为瑞士巴塞尔大学的古典语文学副教授,并在一年以后成为正教授。一生著述颇丰,如《悲剧的诞生》、《查拉图斯特拉如是说》、《善恶的彼岸》、《强力意志》等,对20世纪的思想界产生重大影响。1889年初,在意大利的都灵街头摔倒,就此精神错乱,于11年后在德国的魏玛去世。
今天收拾以前文科课本打算扔掉,翻到一本政治书上首页我写过一句“可惜人们不能幸运地找到一杯醇酒,借以忘记此种生灵,而嫉妒、诽谤和怨恨所酿成的全部毒汁,也都不足以毁坏那本然的美丽”,貌似是出自《悲剧的诞生》。由此我想起了以前政治课上的一件小事。 班上理科生要不是...
评分我看的是魏育青和其他两位译者译的版本,感觉译笔非常老到,读起来很舒服。像魏先生这么优秀的德语文学译者,为什么译作这么少呢?网上查到的他的著作,大部分是有关德语教学的。可惜啊,一个优秀的翻译家却不得不忙于教学,使得功在千秋的翻译反倒成了业余的打工了。
评分他不再是用A=B,B=C,所以A=C这极其局限的方法来证明.因为其实真理再简单不过,都是摆在眼前的,只是人类自己骗自己罢了.这就是知性思维. 我看过的哲学类的书不多,对比起是又是数学家又是哲学家的笛卡儿的证明,他实在太易懂了.而且越是小孩越看得懂.他...
评分几乎包括了人类意识的各个方面.. 里面的隐喻让我欲罢不能! 文字晰利,结构紧凑... 大脑最好的清醒辑
