普鲁塔克：希腊罗马名人传·摘录 33
普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 认知 · 哲学 · 健康
All this, in truth, was very little in harmony with Anaxagoras's wisdom; if, indeed, it be true that he, by a kind of divine impulse and greatness of spirit, voluntarily quitted his house, and left his land to lie fallow and to be grazed by sheep like a common. But the life of a contemplative philosopher and that of an active statesman are, I presume, not the same thing; for the one merely employs, upon great and good objects of thought, an intelligence that requires no aid of instruments nor supply of any external materials; whereas the other, who tempers and applies his virtue to human uses, may have occasion for affluence, not as a matter of mere necessity, but as a noble thing; which was Pericles's case, who relieved numerous poor citizens.

白话
伯里克利的做法与阿那克萨戈拉的智慧并不协调。据说阿那克萨戈拉受神圣冲动驱使，放弃家宅，让土地荒芜成为公共牧场。但沉思的哲学家和活跃的政治家生活不同：哲学家只需运用理智思考伟大对象，不需要外部工具和材料；而政治家要把德行应用于人事，可能需要财富，不是出于必需，而是作为高贵的手段。伯里克利正是如此，他用财富救济了许多穷苦公民。这提醒我们，不同角色需要不同资源，用钱做公共善事并非一定可耻。
上下文
阿那克萨戈拉放弃家产专心哲学，而伯里克利则用公共财富服务城邦，普鲁塔克在此对比两种生活。
今日一问
你如何看待“用钱做善事”与“清贫修身”这两种生活方式？在你的角色中，哪种更合适？
