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...

读后感
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...

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。
小的时候,一直很不理解为什么“天才和疯子只有一步之遥”,长大过后,我说我愿意变成那个和“疯子”只有一步之遥的人,却有人告诉我,你这么想了,说明你不是了。真正的这样的人,是不会这么说的。 哦。 直到有一天,看到了尼采的那句“我生活在不属于我的时代,所以...
上帝已死,人类如何自我救赎?尼采恐怕从摔倒的那一刻到疯癫的弥留之际,都在寻求着启示... 或许应该介绍老庄给他做朋友吧...~ 另,书中的警世之言很有意思... // God is dead and Nietzsche's counting on the future "free spirits", the idea of which hount...
