This new, lucid translation is complemented by full explanatory notes and an up-to-date critical introduction.

这绝对是我读得最辛苦的一本书。先是到处找,找到以后读到一半发现是残缺本,又尝试从出售电子书的人那里买,结果买到了我甚至有纸质版的Allan Bloom的版本(为什么要取一样的名字),只好50页地从图书馆联盟借阅,结果再次借阅发现一周只能借阅20%。最后通过archive.org,终于获得了完整的版本。Cornford写得很好,阅读他的文字并没有什么困难,大部分时候丝滑顺畅,并且有诸多启发之处。如果... 这绝对是我读得最辛苦的一本书。先是到处找,找到以后读到一半发现是残缺本,又尝试从出售电子书的人那里买,结果买到了我甚至有纸质版的Allan Bloom的版本(为什么要取一样的名字),只好50页地从图书馆联盟借阅,结果再次借阅发现一周只能借阅20%。最后通过archive.org,终于获得了完整的版本。Cornford写得很好,阅读他的文字并没有什么困难,大部分时候丝滑顺畅,并且有诸多启发之处。如果从线性进化地角度去读古典著作,试图发现古典哲时期学家如何像神一般超越时代,那大可不必,因为你是不可能发现这样的事情的。你能找到的是一个智慧的人,对自己时代、社会和真理的思考。你无法从过去发现未来,只能从中获得启发、从而帮助自己创造未来。 (展开)
