摘要
科技对现代社会造成诸多弊端,惟罗素独能从节奏的视角提出极富启发性的见解。他敏锐觉察到变快的节奏对人类文艺、智慧、情感特别是道德和文化等心智方面造成深刻影响,认为技术创新和制度变革使得节奏加快,强化竞争和追逐成功的人生哲学使得神经紧张,导致人寻求刺激、金钱和权力,而非内心的宁静和幸福。由此,罗素提出“明智用‘闲’是文明最高产物”的命题。本文系首篇研究罗素节奏思想的文献,对休闲学研究亦有参考价值。
Bertrand Russell distinguishes himself from others hy the fact that he employs Pace as the keyword to understanding the serious effects of scientific technique upon society and brings out illuminating ideas. He is aware of the profound influence of the increasing pace on human mental life such as literature, wisdom, emotion, not least morals and culture. Both the increasing pace resulting from technical and institutional innovation and the nervous fatigue stemming from the ideal of life emphasizing the importance of success in competition compel men and women to be preoccupied with the love of excitement, money and power rather than intrinsic peace or happiness. Hence Russell puts forward the proposition that to be able fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization.The article is the first attempt to elaborate the thoughts of Russell on pace, and is of valuable reference to the leisure studies.
