我彻底被这个中文翻译本弄晕了。不知道它在说什么。我都在怀疑我自己的中文水平了。后来就买了一本英文原版, 才发现 will durant 讲哲学讲的都是我们身边的事。易懂而且深远。我想徐自摩 大概就是这样喜欢上杜威主意的。
下面是杜威关于女人和男人的一段评论。实际,有趣。
Woman wins her victories not through fighting, nor through beavery, but through persistance and tenacity. The male's pugnactiy (Like to fight) is more intense and open, but less sustained; He is readier to make up, or to surrender for the sake of peace. He is defeated before the battle begins. And if by some chance he should win, the woman need only cry, and he is lost. The woman always receives what she wants if she weep for it twice. The wise wife will pull it down as a fundamental rule of war: "If at the first you don't succeed, cry again".
