在网上看到了一段当年BBC采访罗素的视频。视频下的说明是1959年,那么当时罗素已经87岁了。这是我第一次听到罗素说话。
先上视频:
我的听写,其中有两三个地方没有确定是啥~
interviewer: One last question. Suppose, Lord Russell, this film would to be looked at by our descendents, like the dead seas scroll in a thousand years time. What would you think is worth telling that generation about the life you’ve lived and the lessons you’ve learned from it?
Russell: I should like to say two things, one intellectual and one moral.
The intellectual thing I should want to say to them is this: When you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out. Never let yourself be diverted either by what you wish to believe or by what you think would have beneficial social effects if it were to be believed. But look only and solely at what are the facts. That is the intellectual thing that I should wish to say.
The moral thing I should wish to say to them is very simple. I should say, love is wise, hatred is foolish. In this world which is getting more and more closely inter-connected, we have to learn to tolerate each other. We have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things we don’t like. We can only live together in that way. If we are to live together and not to die together, we must learn kind of charity and kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.
我的想法是:
1)我近几年信奉,当沟通发生障碍的时候,应该从自己方面想一想可以花些什么力气来增进沟通。我一直以为我的这个观点是工作中习得的。现在发现,主动增进沟通也是罗素的风格,而我在接受罗素的时候,这个想法已经扎根了。以前看过一个评论者说罗素之所以被现在的人记住和喜爱,有一部分原因是他花了很多力气来使自己容易被读懂。
2)罗素的口音不是我熟悉的呀=v=
3)我自觉自己的人生观世界观一直在演变,但是不管怎么变似乎都会在罗素的思想里找到支持……
你严重迷思罗素啊~
这是他不打稿直接接收采访说出来的吗?非常完整阿!
@Yann:罗素大半生都在思考这些问题吧^^
