“从过去解放未来,从未来解放过去”是1999年魏玛(Weimar)世界征文赛的问题,作者通过一则寓言和相关的哲学讨论,试图对它作出独到的解释。在寓言中,设想上帝为人类摆下了一盘没有输赢的棋局,在棋局游戏中,过去、现在、未来互相平等,且互相独立。现在是有长度的,人能够在现在中创造一切,并从过去、未来的纠葛中解脱出来。 “Liberating the future from the past and liberating the past in the future” is a question of the 1999 Weimar World Essay Contest. The author attempts to give a unique explanation to it through a fable and related philosophical discussions. In the allegory, it is envisioned that God posed a game for mankind without winning or losing. In the game of chess, past, present and future are equal to each other and independent of each other. There is a length now, and man can create everything in the present and be freed from the disputes of the past and the future.
