亚里士多德在《物理学》第二卷中探讨了运气,认为运气不是神秘不可知的东西或任意的随机性,而是一种可以根据个体事物之自然目的性而得以把握的出于偶性的原因,对运气的解释要以我们对其所属事物的本性、常态和目的性的知识为导向。可以说,这一探讨体现了亚里士多德直面运气、对运气进行理性上的“去魅”的努力,亦为我们理解运气提供了一种颇具启发且历久弥新的视角。 Aristotle explores luck in Volume II of Physics, believing that luck is not something mysterious or arbitrary, but rather a form that can be grasped based on the natural purpose of individual things The cause of the evenness, the explanation of the luck, is guided by our knowledge of the nature, normality, and purpose of the things to which they belong. It can be said that this discussion shows that Aristotle’s face-to-face luck and his rational “demonization” of luck have also provided us with a rather inspiring and time-honored perspective on understanding luck.
