追问一:哲学常识“前言”中讲“哲学”一词的来源是古希腊文的 philosophia(“爱智慧”)。那么,“爱智慧”这个高雅、美丽的名词有什么特别的含义吗?原来,最早使用 philosophia 的是毕达哥拉斯。毕达哥拉斯认为,奴性的人追求名利,哲学家追求真理。奴性的人,就是具有奴隶本性的人。哲学家必须是自由人,因为真理和自由是联系在一起的,只有自由者才无所畏惧地解散了一切俗世的牵连,把自己完全交付到了真理的手中。可见,只有脱离了名利之累的自由人才能够进行真正的哲学思维,才能够无所畏惧地追求真理,才能够被称之为智慧一 Question 1: Philosophy The origin of the term “preface”, the term “philosophy” is the ancient Greek philosophia (“love wisdom”). Then, does the word “love wisdom” have any special meaning in this elegant and beautiful term? Originally, Pythagoras was the first to use philosophia. Pythagoras believed that slavish people pursue fame and philosophers pursue truth. The servile people are those who have the nature of slaves. The philosopher must be a free man, because truth and freedom are linked, and only the free ones are fearlessly dissolving all the implicated influences of the world and fully delivering themselves to the hands of the truth. It can be seen that only those free people who have fallen out of fame and fortune can carry out true philosophical thinking before they can pursue the truth fearlessly. Only then can they be called wisdom.
