古希腊在学术史上的建树前无古人,而且必将后无来者。这一结论并非想当然的武断,而是产生他们的条件在人类社会中已经绝版。任何后世的学者,不再会有如雅典人那样对于学术与学者无私坦荡的胸怀,唯真理是问的追求,视利禄如敝屣的情操,视知识为艺术与宗教的痴迷的那个时代。远离铜臭与虚荣宛如学者们的本能一般。在一个阳光和海水之外资源贫乏的狭小区域雅典,成就无可比拟的学术辉煌,就足以说明学者们的超尘拔俗。 Ancient Greece in the history of academic achievements before the ancients, but will certainly no future. This conclusion is not a matter of course arbitrary, but the conditions that gave rise to them are out of print in human society. Any later scholar no longer has the same selfless and open mind as academics and scholars. The only truth is the quest for wisdom, the libertarianism of the moment, the age when knowledge is obsessed with art and religion. Stay away from stinking and vanity like scholars’ instincts. Athens, a narrow and resource-poor area outside the sunshine and seawater, has an unrivaled academic glory that is enough to illustrate the ultra-dusty traditions of scholars.
