SPINOZA (1634-77) is the noblest and most lovable of the great philosophers,
Intellectually, some others have surpassed him,
but ethically he is supreme.
As a natural consequence, he was considered,
during his lifetime and for a century after his death,
a man of appalling wickedness.
He was born a Jew, but the Jews excommunicated him.
Christians abhorred him equally;
although his whole philosophy is dominated by the idea of God,
the orthodox accused him of atheism.
Leibniz, who owed much to him,
concealed his debt, and carefully abstained from saying a word in his praise;
he even went so far as to lie about the extent of his personal acquaintance
with the heretic Jew.

在正形成世界观的时候遇到这本像是世界观陈列室的书。难度中等，能读懂，哲学家的故事该八卦的时候也挺八卦的。不过像我们这种门外汉读读《苏菲的世界》或者《哲学故事》也凑合过了。

人的差别在于业余时间。必须每天抽出几个小时的时间用来阅读、进修、思考或参加有意的演讲、讨论。

上册看不下去的是天主教的哲学。

我像个白痴一样慢慢翻完了《西方哲学史》的上部，只希望下部里我能读懂的段落比上部多一些。

罗素也许不是最好的哲学家，但肯定是最深入浅出的。
