爱比克泰德:论说集与手册·摘录 25

爱比克泰德《论说集与手册》· Discourses and Enchiridion · 健康 · 认知 · 哲学

What then, ought we to publish these things to all men? No, but we ought to accommodate ourselves to the ignorant ([Greek: tois idiotais]) and to say: “This man recommends to me that which he thinks good for himself. I excuse him.” For Socrates also excused the jailer who had the charge of him in prison and was weeping when Socrates was going to drink the poison, and said, “How generously he laments over us.” Does he then say to the jailer that for this reason we have sent away the women? No, but he says it to his friends who were able to hear (understand) it; and he treats the jailer as a child.

白话

那么,我们该把这些道理向所有人公开吗?不,我们应该迁就那些无知的人,对自己说:这个人向我推荐他认为对自己好的东西,我原谅他。苏格拉底也原谅了那个看守监狱的狱卒,当苏格拉底要喝毒药时,狱卒哭了,苏格拉底说:他多么慷慨地为我们哀悼啊。但他并没有对狱卒说我们因此遣散了妇女,而是对能听懂的朋友说,把狱卒当孩子对待。所以,传播哲学要分对象,对听不懂的人不必强求,保持宽容即可。

上下文

爱比克泰德在《言谈录》中讨论哲学传播的智慧,以苏格拉底之死为例说明如何对待无知者。
