Theory of Human Nature ◼ 休谟: 人性的科学是一切科学的首都和心脏.一旦掌握了人 性以后,我们在其他各方面就有希望轻而易举地取得胜利了. 从这个岗位,我们可以扩展到征服那些和人生有较为密切关 系的一切科学.任何重要问题的解决关键,无不包括在关于 人的科学中间;在我们没有熟悉这门科学之前,任何问题都 不能得到确实的解决.因此,在试图说明人性的原理的时候, 我们实际上就是在提出一个建立在几乎是全新的基础上的 完整的科学体系,而这个基础正是一切科学唯一稳固的基础. ◼ 卢梭:人类的各种知识中最有用的就是关于人的知识
What is Modernity So what is modernity? One way of describing it is to call it a period of history characterized by a complex set of industrial developments, including the he increasing concentration of people in towns and cities greater geographical mobility occasioned steam engines and railway networks and enormous popular faith in industrial and technological progress. This all took place sometime between the 1 6th and early 20th centuries. Modernity, in a nutshell, is the continuation of the Enlightenment project. One way of classifying it in broad terms is as the most recent of the three great eras of Western development, the other two being the classical era of the ancient Greeks and the medieval era. The modern era, from the deep perspective of the historian of human thought, began after the Renaissance, or possibly with the Enlightenment, or at any rate when ever ideas such as technological progress and the discovery of knowledge through reason and science began to undermine the authority of religion
