问答题 Empirical and experimental philosophy has no quarrel with science, either in itself or in its application to education. On the contrary, scientific conclusions and methods are the chief ally of an empirical philosophy of education. For according to empirical philosophy, science provides the only means we have for learning about man and the world in which he lives. Some have thought that this fact makes philosophy unnecessary. They have supposed that the admission that science is supreme in the field of knowledge covers the whole ground of human experience. 46. {{U}}The elimination does rule out one kind of philosophy, namely, that which held that philosophy is a higher form of knowledge than the scientific kind, one which furnishes knowledge of ultimate higher reality.{{/U}} But it does not follow from the elimination of this particular type of philosophy that philosophy itself must be so. It would tallow if man were simply and only a knowing being. He is also an acting being, a creature with desires, hopes, fears, purposes and habits. To the average person knowledge itself is of importance because of its bearing upon what he needs to do. It helps him in clarifying his wants, in constructing his ends and in finding means for realizing them. 47. {{U}}There exist, in other words, values as well as known facts and principles, and philosophy is concerned primarily with values—with the ends for the sake of which man acts.{{/U}} 48. {{U}}Given the most extensive and accurate system Of knowledge, man is still faced with the question of what he is going to do about it and what he is going to do with the knowledge in his possession{{/U}}. 49. {{U}}In this matter of the connection of what is known with values, science is an ally of an empirical philosophy against absolute philosophies which pretend that fixed and eternal truths are known by means of organs and methods that are independent of science.{{/U}} The objection to this position is not merely theoretical. The practical objections to it are that it strengthens appeal to authority and promotes Controversies, which can't be settled by the use of the methods of inquiry and proof that have been worked out in the sciences. There is no great danger that the present-day revival in some quarters of [Greek and medieval philosophies] will make much headway as a theoretical philosophy. 50. There is always danger that such philosophies will have practical {{U}}influence in reinforcing established social authority that is exercised on behalf of the maintenance of the existing social situation.{{/U}} Against this danger, an experimental philosophy stands in firm alliance with the methods by which the natural sciences arrive at warranted truths.

问答题Translate the underlined parts into Chinese.(5x5) Technological progress brings about changes in manners. 【F1】 Books on etiquette do not always take note of this, but life itself brings new forms of behavior into being. The elevator may not be a recent invention, but it is a good example. 【F2】 Not long ago I started living in a building with an elevator and it was some time before I understood the customs attached to it. The first and most important principle is not to catch the eye of any of the passengers, or even look them in the face. Thanks to that, everybody in the building is well acquainted with the state of their neighbors" footwear. They stare at the boots, pumps, sneakers and moccasins but they do not pass any remarks. They do not, for example, say that your shoes are so shiny or that you have fabulous bootlaces. They just look. 【F3】 Instead of looking at boots, it is also possible to gaze at the elevator walls. In such cases, the passengers resemble archeologists scrutinizing the walls of an Egyptian tomb. I already know by heart all the rules displayed on the notice telling us how to use a passenger elevator. I know the maximum weight permitted. 【F4】 What is more if I were woken in the middle of the night I could recite the name of the corporation thanks to which I can ride the elevator, and all its telephone numbers. Sometimes there is a discarded scrap of paper on the elevator floor. 【F5】 Everyone immediately fixes their gaze on this paper, examines it, inspects it but—what is interesting—nobody picks it up. Presumably it has to stay there for the next passengers.

问答题Is it true that the American intellectual is rejected and considered of no account in his society? I am going to suggest that it is not true. Father Bruckbergen told part of the story when he observed that it is the intellectuals who have rejected American. But they have done more than that. They have grown dissatisfied with the role of intellectual. It is they, not American, who have become antiintellectual. First, the object of our study pleads for definition. What is an intellectual? (1){{U}}I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic(苏格拉底) way about moral problems.{{/U}} He explores such problem consciously, articulately, and frankly, first by asking factual questions, then by asking moral questions, finally by suggesting action which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information which he has obtained. (2){{U}}His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a matter as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.{{/U}} This definition excludes many individuals usually referred to as intellectuals--the average scientist for one. (3) {{U}}I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.{{/U}} Like other human beings, he encounters moral issues even in everyday performance of his routine duties--he is not supposed to cook his experiments, manufacture evidence, or doctor his reports. (4){{U}}But his primary task is not to think about the moral code, which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of roles of conduct in business.{{/U}} During most of his walking life he will take his code for granted, as the businessman takes his ethics. The definition also excludes the majority of factors, despite the fact that teaching has traditionally been the method whereby many intellectuals earn their living (5){{U}}They may teach very well, and more than earn their salaries, but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems which involve moral judgment.{{/U}} This description even fits the majority eminent scholars. "Being learned in some branch of human knowledge in one thing, living in public and industrious thoughts", as Emersion would say," is something else."
