脱線1:古典を読むことの意義
“Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of
contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted
person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the
prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to
see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own,
without being stimulated by the thoughts and experiences of
others, is even in the best cases rather paltry and monotonous.
There are only a few enlightened people with a lucid mind and
style and with good taste within a century. What has been
preserved of their work belongs among the most precious
possessions of mankind. We owe it to a few writers of antiquity
(Plato, Aristotle, etc.) that the people in the Middle Ages
could slowly extricate themselves from the superstitions and
ignorance that had darkend life for more than half a
millennium. Nothing is more needed to overcome the modernist’s
snobbishness.” Einstein
