写文章、出版书刊同做任何事一样,都该有个目的,不是为了宣传什么,就是为了反对什么,再不然就是提出问题引起讨论。人民出版社1958年6、7月份先后出版了《思想方法与工作方法》杂文选第一、二两集。我们可以想像出:出版者对其所选用的文章,一般地讲总是认为比较满意的。《杂文选》的出版,恐怕就寄予帮助读者解决“思想方法与工作方法”问题的希望的。 Writing an article, publishing a book, as with anything, should have a purpose, not to promote what, to oppose anything, or to ask a question to arouse discussion. People’s Publishing House In June and July 1958, the first and second two essays of “Methods of Thinking and Methods of Work” were published.
