虽則社会学家,尤其是在美国,对席末尔的著作給予了一些注意,作为哲学家說来,他在英美国家里则是完全被忽略了。他于1918年在德国逝世时名气很大,但是象巴斯摩尔的《哲学百年》里就沒有提到他。这应是一件憾事,因为虽則他沒有象康德或維特根斯坦那样,在我们对哲学的看法上掀起一个革命,但是根据他自己的后康德派传統,却对一大堆重要的課題发表了許多有启发性的見解。 Although sociologists, especially in the United States, gave some attention to Sidar’s writings, as philosophers he was completely ignored in Anglo-American countries. He was known at the time of his death in Germany in 1918, but did not mention him in his centenary of philosophy. This should be a pity, for though he did not set off a revolution in our philosophy as Kant or Wittgenstein did, but according to his own post-Kant tradition, he did a great deal of important task Published many inspiring ideas.
