Noun: Greek philosopher 560-478 BCXenophanesrejected the then-standard belief in many gods, as well as the idea that the gods resembled humans in form.色诺芬尼拒绝象标准的相信许多神,而且不认为神的思想和外形像人一样。 As Xenophanes, the Presocratic free- thinker, wrote2500 years ago, “ If Lion could think, their Gods would have a mane and roar.” 正像前苏格拉底时代的自由思想家色诺芬尼在2500年前写下的:“如果狮子会思考,它们的上帝会有鬃毛和狮吼。” douban In one of the earliest known expressions of cultural relativism, Xenophanes remarked that Homer's gods were simply a reflection of Homerian culture. 作为一种已知最早的对于文化相对论的表述,色诺芬尼认为:荷马的神只是荷马式的文化的一种简单的反应。 yeeyan Xenophanes If shit had a God, God would look like shit. 如果大便信上帝的话,那上帝看起来就会像大便。 iciba An ancient Greek colony of southern Italy near the Gulf of Salerno. Reputedly founded by Xenophanes, it was the center of the Eleatic school of philosophy. 意大利南部古代希腊的殖民地,邻近萨勒诺海湾,是埃利亚哲学学派的中心,此学派据说由色诺芬尼创立。 poptool Homer's gods, Xenophanes complained, had all the immoral and disgraceful traits of flawed human beings and should hardly be the object of veneration. 色诺芬尼认为,荷马的神具有所有有缺陷的人类所具有的不道德和不文雅的特质,而这些几乎不应该成为崇敬的对象。 yeeyan If oxen and horses had hands and could paint, Xenophanes said, oxen would no doubt paint the forms of gods like oxen and horses would paint them like horses. 色诺芬尼说,如果牛和马有手能够绘画的话,牛描绘神的形象无疑像牛,而马描绘神的形象无疑像马。 yeeyan Like Thales before him, Xenophanes speculated about the underlying principles of natural phenomena. 像他之前的泰勒斯一样,色诺芬尼也对自然现象背后的潜在原则进行推测。 yeeyan Nonetheless, Xenophanes clearly had enough influence to be remembered and mentioned by those that followed him. 尽管这样,色诺芬尼仍然因为其巨大的影响力而被他的后继者铭记和提及。 yeeyan Philosophical certainties could not be had, according to Xenophanes, for even if we chance to hit upon the truth, there is no way of knowing for certain that things are as we think they are. 据他的看法,并无任何哲学上的确定性可言,因为即使我们碰巧触及了真相,也没有方法确信事物就正像我们所认为的那样。 yeeyan Quite probably it is his criticism of the Homeric gods, still revered throughout the Hellenistic world during and long after Xenophanes' time, that attracted a great deal of attention to him. 这最有可能是他对荷马的神的批判而为他赢得了巨大的关注。 对他的尊敬在整个希腊世界里从他生活的年代起一直延续到之后的年代。 yeeyan There is little coherent or underlying structure to Xenophanes' thought, or at least not that we can tell from the fragments that have come down through history. 在色诺芬尼的思想中几乎不存在固定或潜在的体系,或者在他思想中存在的体系不是那种我们从后世流传的只言片语中分辨出的。 yeeyan Xenophanes was also the first known thinker to anticipate Socrates' caution regarding claims of certain knowledge. 色诺芬尼是已知的第一位像苏格拉底那样以谨慎的态度对待任何所谓确凿的知识的哲学家。 yeeyan |
