AGAINST THOSE WHO WISH TO BE ADMIRED.—When a man holds his proper station in life, he does not gape after things beyond it. Man, what do you wish to happen to you? I am satisfied if I desire and avoid conformably to nature, if I employ movements towards and from an object as I am by nature formed to do, and purpose and design and assent. Why then do you strut before us as if you had swallowed a spit? My wish has always been that those who meet me should admire me, and those who follow me should exclaim, O the great philosopher! Who are they by whom you wish to be admired? Are they not those of whom you are used to say that they are mad? Well, then, do you wish to be admired by madmen?

白话

一个人安于自己的本分,就不会贪求本分之外的东西。你究竟希望自己怎样?我满足于自己的欲求和回避都合乎自然,满足于按天性行动、判断和赞同。那你为什么还像吞了根签子似的昂首挺胸?你说你一直希望别人见了你赞叹“好一位大哲学家”。可你想被谁赞叹?不就是你常说是疯子的那些人吗?那你竟想被疯子赞叹?核心是:追求被众人尤其是糊涂人赞叹,本身就是错置价值。做法:检查你渴望谁的认可,如果那人的判断并不可靠,就别把自我价值交给他。

上下文

爱比克泰德在《言谈录》中批评那些想被当作哲学家来崇拜的人,指出他们渴望的赞美来自判断力不可靠的人。

今日一问

你最想得到谁的认可?那个人的判断真的值得你依赖吗?
