拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生:随笔·摘录 132

拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生《随笔》· Essays · 行动 · 健康 · 投资 · 哲学

I am not careful to justify myself. I own I am gladdened[714] by seeing the predominance of the saccharine principle throughout vegetable nature, and not less by beholding in morals that unrestrained inundation of the principle of good into every chink and hole that selfishness has left open, yea into selfishness and sin itself; so that no evil is pure, nor hell itself without its extreme satisfactions. But lest I should mislead any when I have my own head and obey my whims, let me remind the reader that I am only an experimenter. Do not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I do not, as if I pretended to settle anything as true or false. I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker with no Past at my back.

白话

爱默生说,他不急于为自己辩护。他乐于看到植物界中糖分原则占主导,也同样乐于看到道德中善的原则无拘无束地涌入自私留下的每一个缝隙,甚至进入自私和罪恶本身,因此没有纯粹的恶,连地狱也有其极端的满足。但他提醒读者,他只是一个实验者,不要把他所做的看得太重,也不要因为他没做什么而贬低他,好像他 pretended 要确定什么真假。他要动摇一切。没有事实对他来说是神圣的或亵渎的;他只是一个无尽的探索者,背后没有过去。

上下文

爱默生《随笔》中《循环》一篇,阐述其实验主义态度,反对固定教条。

今日一问

你是否曾因为害怕犯错而不敢尝试?能否像爱默生一样,把自己看作一个实验者?
