THE SIX ENNEADSby Plotinustranslated by Stephen MacKenna and B. S. PageTHE FIRST ENNEAD.FIRST TRACTATE.THE ANIMATE AND THE MAN.1. Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat? Clearly, either in the Soul alone, or in the Soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both. And for this third entity, again, there are two possible modes: it might be either a blend or a distinct form due to the blending.
献给每一个中国人性是任何事物也无法熄灭的长明之火。我们应该像摩西那样,扔掉鞋,赤着双足,去探索这不可思议的火焰。——英国现代性学先驱霭理士为什么只有人的乳房是隆起来的?为什么男人的生殖器官一直在体外而不缩进去呢?为什么女人的生殖器官不在体外而缩入体内呢?为什么只有人类的女性有处女膜?为什么其它动物都有发情期,而只有人类没有发情期?徐兆寿:谈到人类的性,还得涉及到人类的产生。谈到人类的产生,就不能不谈到进化论。这是现代人的一种思维模式。很多人包括我在内对这一源渊总是充满了怀疑。近代以来,很大一部分人都接受了达尔文的近化论和科学主义观念,认为自己的祖先是猴子。中国的上一代人和上上一代人也持这种观念,不过,在此之前的中国人是另一种观念,我们这一代人在这一点似乎是模糊的,但很显然,绝大部分人在骨子里是持此观点的。我是少数怀疑者之一。我也断断续续用了十几年时间看了大量的书...

今年5月10日从文离开人世,我得到他夫人张兆和的电报后想起许多事情,总觉得他还同我在一起,或者聊天,或者辩论。他那温和的笑容一直在我眼前。隔一天我才发出回电:“病中惊悉从文逝世,十分悲痛。文艺界失去一位杰出的作家,我失去一位正直善良的朋友,他留下的精神财富不会消失。我们三十、四十年代相聚的情景还历历在目。小林因事赴京,她将代我在亡友灵前敬献花圈,表达我感激之情。我永远忘不了你们一家。请保重。”都是些极普通的话。没有一滴眼泪,悲痛却在我的心里,我也在埋葬自己的一部分。那些充满信心的欢聚的日子,那些奋笔和辩论的日子都不会回来了。这些年我们先后遭逢了不同的灾祸,在泥泞中挣扎,他改了行,在长时间的沉默中,取得卓越的成就。我东奔西跑,唯唯诺诺,羡慕枝头欢叫的喜鹊,只想早日走尽自我改造的道路。得到的却是十年一梦,床头多了一盒骨灰。现在大梦初醒,却仿佛用尽全身力气,不得不躺倒休息...
