| here we need only sample from the range. one possible translation Explanation: “这里我们只需对这门博大的学问举其精要。” 古希腊哲学可以统而观之为一门学问，有所谓“希腊学”之说。“ranged widely”是说到了亚里士多德和柏拉图的时代，希腊人在学问上已涉猎极广。谓之博大精深也不为过。“sample”当然是样本。一门学问的样本，必定是其精要之处。 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs 10 mins (2004-07-22 02:06:12 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- 我认为作者的说法没有任何问题。须知西方的科学与哲学之间的划分，以及科学的不同领域的划分，是近代才开始的。在古希腊时期，哲学和科学没有明确的分野。哲学就是所有学问的统称，特点是包罗万象。哲学家的任务就是全面彻底地解释整个世界。许多哲学家同时是科学家。譬如亚里士多德，著有《工具篇》、《逻辑学》、《物理学》、《政治学》、《修辞学》、《诗学》，而其最重要的哲学著作《形而上学》，译成英文是“Metaphysics ”，字面意思是“在物理学之后”。言下之意是要讨论物理学讲完之后还不能解决的那些超越性的问题。中文借《易经》中“形而上者谓之道，形而下者谓之器”的说法，译为“形而上学”。可见再亚里士多德体系中，科学问题至少与形而上的哲学问题同等重要。 |
