Diogenes and Alexander 翻译

Lesson 18 ——Diogenes and Alesander他躺在光溜溜的地上,赤着脚,胡子拉茬的,半裸着身子,模样活像个乞丐或疯子。
可他就是他,而不是别的什么人。
大清早,他随着初升的太阳睁开双眼,搔了搔痒,便像狗一样在路边解手。
他在公共喷泉边抹了把脸,向路人讨了一块面包和几颗橄榄,然后蹲在地上大嚼起来,又掬起几捧泉水送入肚中。
他没工作在身,也无家可归,是一个逍遥自在的人。
街市上熙熙攘攘,到处是顾客、商人、奴隶、异邦人,这时他也会在其中转悠一二个钟头。
人人都认识他,或者都听说过他。
他们会问他一些尖刻的问题,而他也尖刻地回答。
有时他们丢给他一些食物,他很有节制地道一声谢;有时他们恶作剧地扔给他卵石子,他破口大骂,毫不客气地回敬。
他们拿不准他是不是疯了。
他却认定他们疯了,只是他们的疯各有各的不同;他们令他感到好笑。
此刻他正走回家去。
他没有房子,甚至连一个茅庐都没有。
他认为人们为生活煞费苦心,过于讲究奢华。
房子有什么用处?人不需要隐私;自然的行为并不可耻;我们做着同样的事情,没什么必要把它们隐藏起来。
人实在不需要床榻和椅子等诸如此类的家具,动物睡在地上也过着健康的生活。
既然大自然没有给我们穿上适当的东西。
那我们惟一需要的是一件御寒的衣服,某种躲避风雨的遮蔽。
所以他拥有一张毯子——白天披在身,晚上盖在身上——他睡在一个桶里,他的名字叫狄奥根尼。
人们称他为“狗”,把他的哲学叫做“犬儒哲学”。
他一生大部分时光都在希腊的克林斯城邦度过,那是一个富裕、懒散、腐败的城市,他挖苦嘲讽那里的人们,偶尔也把矛头转向他们当中的某个人。
他的住所不是木材做成的,而是泥土做的贮物桶。
这是一个破桶,显然是人们弃之不用的。
住这样的地方他并不是第一个,但他确实是第一个自愿这么做的人,这出乎众人的想法。
狄奥根尼不是疯子,他是一个哲学家,通过戏剧、诗歌和散文的创作来阐述他的学说;他向那些愿意倾听的人传道;他拥有一批崇拜他的门徒。

犬儒主义

Our group will talk sth about cynicism. We emphasis on the development and transformation of it and we will also tell you other things developed from it, such as some music.So do you know what is cynicism? The Chinese name of it is犬儒主义so can you guess? just like the picture, It means the type of persons living like dogs. the word dog was thrown at the first cynics as an insult for their shameless rejections of conventional manners and their decision to live on the streets. but in my view, just thinking of cynicism itself. In the early time, it is a good word. it means persons live naturally and sincerely like a dog. They are loyal and reliable. And they follow their hearts and the intrinsic motivation. but later it is a bad one.In its original form, Cynicism refers to the beliefs of an ancient school of Greek philosophers known as the Cynics. Their philosophy was that the purpose of life was to live a life of Virtue in agreement with Nature. This meant rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, health, and fame, and by living a simple life free from all possessions. in their opinions, as reasoning creatures, people could gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which was natural for humans. They also believed that the world belonged equally to everyone. This maybe be ridiculous in their time, but the actuality what we have now. andthey also think suffering was caused by false judgments of what was valuable and by the worthless customs and conventions which surrounded society. They required freedom and frankness, which politics disallowed.For example, there are some typical philosophers in the ancient time.Diogenes is considered one of the founders of Cynicism.Many anecdotes of Diogenes refer to his dog-like behavior, and his praise of a dog's virtues. Diogenes said:"I am Diogenes the Dog. I nuzzle the kind, bark at the greedy and bite scoundrels.Diogenes believed human beings live artificially and hypocritically and would do well to study the dog. As for a dog, it perform natural body functions in public with ease, a dog will eat anything, and make no fuss about where to sleep. Dogs live in the present without anxiety, and have no use for the pretensions of abstract philosophy. In addition to these virtues, dogs are thought to know who is friend and who is foe.There is a story about Diogenes, you can also find it in the book.Diogenes lived in a tub on the streets of Athens. One day, conqueror of half the civilize world, Alexander the Great, saw Diogenes sitting in this tub in the sunshine. So the king, surroundedby his countries, approached Diogenes and said,” I am Alexander the Great.” The philosopher replied rather contemptuously,” I am Diogenes, the Cynic.” Alexander then asked him if he could help him in any way." Yes,” shot back Diogenes," don't stand between me and the sun.” A surprised Alexander then replied quickly,” If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes."This is what cynicism perform in the early time. This thought can be found in many parts of the world. For example, in china, the persons of Chinese Taoism also held the similar thoughts. Chinese Taoism emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao. And tao is natural, ,eternal, nameless, and indescribable. It is the beginning of all things and the way in which all things pursue their course.There is a typical philosopher called Chuang Tzu. Chang Tzu advocates that men distance themselves from the traditional prestige and honor of worldly life, and think about what it means to simply live.There is a story about himZhuang Zhou onceinto a butterfly, flying in the air, like he free butterfly.In his dream he was amused withoutonly something in his dream. After a he up andand couldn't tell it was he turned into a butterfly in his dream or a butterfly turned into him.So you can see, cynicism and Chinese Taoism are alike in some parts.However, as the time flying, cynicism in the modern life is extremely different from the early meanings. And my partners will introduce you more information.。

犬儒学派

犬儒主义(Cynicism)是个外来词,中文里本来没有现成的对应词汇,通常将它理解为讥诮嘲讽,愤世嫉俗, 玩世不恭。
犬儒主义是古希腊的一个哲学流派,其代表人物是西诺普的狄奥根尼。这派哲学主张清心寡欲,鄙弃俗世的 荣华富贵,力倡回归自然(这使人想起老庄哲学,想起某些魏晋名士)。据说狄奥根尼本人住在一个桶里(又有 一说是住在瓮里),以讨饭为生。有人讥笑他活得象条狗,他却不恼。“犬儒”之称由此得名。关于狄奥根尼, 有段故事很著名,一天,亚历山大御驾亲临,前来探望正躺在地上晒太阳的狄奥根尼,问他想要什么恩赐;狄奥 根尼回答说:“只要你别挡住我的太阳。
学派创立
安提斯泰尼在晚年对正统的哲学丧失了信心,当他已不再年轻,鄙弃从前所重视的东西,放弃了上层阶级的 生活模式,而去过简朴的生活,不受各种习俗和规定的限制,除了纯朴的善良而外,他不愿意要任何东西,并希 望希腊回复到原始社会。
受到这种思想的启发,狄奥根尼(安提斯泰尼的弟子)几乎裸身并且没有携带任何补给便周游了整个希腊, 享受了阳光、温暖等一切自然的恩赐,并且聚集了几千个皈依他的思想的人,并向他们讲述这个社会是多么值得 讽刺。
背景介绍
犬儒犬儒学派因其创始人安提斯泰尼(Antisthenes)在一个名叫居诺萨格(Kunosarges)的体育场中讲学 而得名。因为Kuno就是希腊语“狗”的意思。同时,“犬儒”这名称也标志着他们的生活方式。准确的来说,犬 儒学派就是对世界的不信任和对任何事物抱消极态度的学派。
安提斯泰尼是苏格拉底的弟子,约长于柏拉图二十岁。安提斯泰是一个非常引人注意的人物,在某些方面其 有似于托尔斯泰。直到苏格拉底死后,他还生活在苏格拉底贵族弟子们的圈子里,并没有表现出任何非正统的征 象来。
