亨利·戴维·梭罗:瓦尔登湖·摘录 104

亨利·戴维·梭罗《瓦尔登湖》· Walden · 健康 · 哲学 · 领导

If we knew all the laws of Nature, we should need only one fact, or the description of one actual phenomenon, to infer all the particular results at that point. Now we know only a few laws, and our result is vitiated, not, of course, by any confusion or irregularity in Nature, but by our ignorance of essential elements in the calculation. Our notions of law and harmony are commonly confined to those instances which we detect; but the harmony which results from a far greater number of seemingly conflicting, but really concurring, laws, which we have not detected, is still more wonderful. The particular laws are as our points of view, as, to the traveller, a mountain outline varies with every step, and it has an infinite number of profiles, though absolutely but one form. Even when cleft or bored through it is not comprehended in its entireness.

白话

梭罗认为,自然界的规律是统一的,如果我们掌握了所有规律,只需一个事实就能推知全部结果。但我们目前只了解少数规律,所以推算常出错,这不是自然混乱,而是我们忽略了关键因素。我们以为的和谐只是已发现的部分,更多看似冲突实则协同的规律我们尚未察觉,那才是更奇妙的和谐。具体规律就像观察角度,如同山形随脚步变化,有无数轮廓却只有一个本体。即使把山劈开钻透,也无法完全理解它。这提醒我们保持谦卑,承认认知有限,多角度观察,不急于下结论。

上下文

梭罗在《瓦尔登湖》中记录林中独居生活,常借自然现象反思人类认知的局限。
