蒙田隨筆集

內容概要

蒙田是與培根、莎士比亞齊名的世界文豪，他的隨筆素有“生活的哲學”的美譽。隨筆這一文體在西方由蒙田開山奠基，受其影響的作家舉不勝舉，在哲學家中就有帕斯卡、笛卡兒、伏爾泰、狄德羅、盧梭等，甚是還有英國不朽的劇作家莎士比亞。    自青年時代起，蒙田即在波爾多祖居的城堡中精讀普魯塔克、塞內加、塔西陀等古代大家之作，此后雖名動天下，博得法王亨利四世的數(shù)度造訪，仍孜孜不倦地以讀書、思考為樂事。蒙田是剖析各民族文化、風俗的飽學之士，是人類情感的冷峻的研究者，文筆清麗、簡樸，思致雋永，讀者不禁深深陶醉于含英咀華的無上樂境。季羨林先生曾用“零金碎玉”四字評點蒙田于字里行間向世人昭示的人生真諦。    《蒙田隨筆集》是其代表作。    此由全國百佳出版社出版的《蒙田隨筆集》為英文版。

作者簡介

蒙田(1533-1592)，16世紀法國思想家、散文家。出身于新貴族家庭，曾做過15年文官，并游歷過意大利、瑞士等地，后來相當長時間閉戶讀書。他把旅途見聞、日常感想等記錄下來，集成《隨筆集》2卷，晚年修訂為3卷。蒙田把淵博的知識和豐富的個人經(jīng)驗結合起來，形成了《隨筆集》獨特的思想意境和藝術風格。書中的思想是趨于中庸的，他對當時的迷信、偏見、巫術等進行否定，認為絕對的真理無法認識，只能探索部分的尋常真理。他在政治上又是保守的，尊重現(xiàn)存社會和秩序?！峨S筆集》行文旁征博引，語言平易流暢，對同時代的英國作家莎士比亞及17、18世紀的法國文學都有深遠的影響。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Heseems to have had a right and true apprehensionof the power of custom, who first invented the story of acountrywoman who, having accustomed herself to play withand carry, a young calf in her arms, and daily continuing to doso as it grew up, obtained this by custom, that, when grown tobe a great ox, she was still able to bear it. Forl in truth, custom isa violent and treacherous schoolmistress. She, .by little and little,slyly and unperceived, slips in the foot of her authority, buthaving by this gentle and humble beginning, with the benefit ~of time, fixed and established it, she then'unmasks a furiousand tyrannic countenance, against which we hav.e no more thecourage or the power so much as to lift up our eyes. We see her,at every turn, forcing and violating the rules of nature: "Ususefficacissimus rerurn omnium magister." I refer.to her Plato's cavein his Republic, and the physicians, who so often submit thereasons of their art to her authority; as the story of that,king,who by custom brought his stomach to that pass, as. to live bypoison, and the maid that Albertus reports to have lived uponspiders. In that new world of the Indies, there were found greatnations, and in very differing climates, who were of the same.　　……
