為甚麼兩年後才修改?那是因為在找出版社方面不順利,遇到一個辦事不力的編輯,還受了一點無禮的對待,提不起勁另找出版社,加上不斷有其他事忙,書稿便丟開一邊沒理會差不多一年了。最近重拾心情,決定將書稿投去另一間大學出版社,但已隔了兩年,不肯定自己對書稿是否仍然滿意,而且有些例子可能需要 update,所以只好逐字逐句重看和修改書稿。
另外那兩篇論文則是全新的,其中一篇很短,是形上學的,應該不出三千字。另外一篇跟同事 Z 合作,是知識論和科學哲學交界的題目,不容易寫,而且應該相當長(會過一萬字);然而,我應承了 Z 在 semester break 期間會寫好我負責的第一節(全文共四節),只好竭盡全力,以免食言。
說來可能會有人覺得奇怪,就是我越投入哲學研究時,越會懷疑自己寫的東西的價值。今天在寫論文時,便突然記起維根斯坦怎樣形容柏拉圖寫的蘇格拉底對話錄:「閱讀蘇格拉底對話錄會給人這種感覺:真是極度浪費時間啊!這些沒有證明甚麼、也沒有澄清甚麼的論證究竟所為何事?」(Culture and
Value, p.14, 我的翻譯)
如何好好懷疑?硬係好容易意氣用事....
回覆刪除點算好?求救~!!!

- 如何意氣用事?我說的懷疑和省察,和情緒無關,只是一種警惕的精神,以免意識不到錯的可能是自己。
I have always admired how productive you are in scholarly works, especially given the demands on teaching.
回覆刪除I, on the other hand, promised myself a restful break to reflect and decide what my next steps should be for my career (got promoted to full in summer) now that I have more freedom to set my priorities. I still don't have the answers although the break is almost over. However, I finally realized how much damage the stress and physical exhaustion I had experienced in the last few years has caused.
I would say that reading you blog has helped me in some way in my road to self-understanding - I don't know if I told you before. Well, thank you.
Lin,
回覆刪除Thank you! That's the best compliment I have ever got.

Congratulations Lin! Although I don’t know you personally, through reading the comments you left in the past years, I have felt some sort of emotional connection with you. Your comments are always well thought, sincere and open. I recall you mentioned the possibility of the restructuring in your department. Now, hearing the good news on your promotion, I am especially happy for you.

回覆刪除不過,懷疑個陣0口0"
又無啦啦諗人地有尐咩講錯
不過 恁諗又好似唔似豁達
同埋 諗諗下又覺得自己既批評好似意氣用事
點算>_<" 請求思考良方
小子,
回覆刪除以下無關思考方法:
既然 //諗諗下又覺得自己既批評好似意氣用事//,
不如唔好 //無啦啦諗人地有尐咩講錯//,
或者諗完發現錯處後唔去批評.這較豁達,是不是?

回覆刪除Thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words! You are always so nice and sweet.

小子,
回覆刪除我沒有討論//懷疑態度.// 我只是說唔去批評.
//諗完發現錯處後//包含懷疑,是不是?
你喜歡懷疑便懷疑.你喜歡批評便批評.最好不是意氣用事地批評,是心平氣和地有理據地批評.或者討論較批評可取.
我是說心態與處世態度,這個你可以懷疑,你可以不採用,你可以批評,你可以討論,但不是跟我討論.因我已說完.
