immanuel kant

0 回音
可能怕我讀到悶,作者在神學書中寫下了有趣的一段:

"Kant's life was outwardly uneventful. He was born, studied, taught and died in the same place --- the east Prussian port city of Konigsberg. He served as an unsalaried lecturer at the university (1755-1770) before being elected professor of logic and metaphysics. Kant was unmarried and untraveled. His schedule was so regimented that the women of the town are said to have set their watches by his 3:30 p.m. daily walk. Not until he was fifty-seven years old did Kant produced a major work..."

又或者,是要突出尾句才這樣鋪陳的:

"Yet the book he did publish that year, The critique of Pure Reason (1781), rocked the philosophical world and inagurated an intellectual tidal wave, the effects of which are still being felt."

老火湯,要慢慢煲;但研究這煲湯未必個個想煲,也未必個個煲得成。讀了兩年,覺得自己似打邊爐多過煲湯;一班人,汆吓汆吓。不過,最後起碼有塊入味的蘿蔔。

今年,想滾個認真的湯。
