永垂不朽的品质:智识的美德
We all know what makes for good character insoldiers. We've seen the movie
s about heroes whodisplay courage, loyalty and coolness under fire. But what ab
out somebody who sits in front of akeyboard all day? Is it possible to display and
cultivate character if you are just an informationage office jockey, alone with a m
emo or yourcomputer?
我们都知道,对士兵而言,何为优秀品质的要义。我们看过的一些电影所刻画的英雄
人物,在炮火中表现出了勇气、忠诚和冷静。但对一天到晚坐在键盘前的人而言,答案又
是什么呢?如果你仅仅是信息时代里的一个写字楼职员,成天与备忘录或电脑相伴,那你
还有机会展现和培养自己的品质吗?
Of course it is. Even if you are alone in your office, you are thinking. Thinking
well under abarrage of information may be a different sort of moral challenge th
an fighting well under ahail of bullets, but it's a character challenge nonetheless.
当然可以。即便是独自待在办公室里,你也在思考。和在枪林弹雨下好好战斗相比,
面对大量信息时好好思考可能是一种截然不同的道德挑战,但它仍然不失为对品性的一种
挑战。
In their 2007 book,
"Intellectual Virtues," Robert C. Roberts of Baylor University and W. JayWood of
Wheaton College list some of the cerebral virtues. We can all grade ourselves on
howgood we are at each of them.
贝勒大学(Baylor University)的罗伯特·C·罗伯茨(Robert C. Roberts)和威顿学院
(Wheaton College)的W·杰伊·伍德(W. Jay Wood)在2007年出版的《智识美德》
(Intellectual Virtues)一书中,列出了一些智识上的美德。我们可以逐项给自己打分,看看
自己做得怎么样。
First, there is love of learning. Some people are just more ardently curious th
an others, eitherby cultivation or by nature.
