Translation

蘇格拉底是古希臘哲學(xué)家，被譽(yù)為現(xiàn)代西方哲學(xué)的奠基人。他是一個(gè)謎一般的人物，人們主要通過(guò)后來(lái)的一些古典作家的敘述，尤其是他最著名的學(xué)生柏拉圖的作品去了解他。蘇格拉底以他對(duì)倫理學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)而聞名。他的教學(xué)法亦稱為蘇格拉底法，即通過(guò)提問(wèn)和回答來(lái)激發(fā)批判性思維及闡述觀點(diǎn)。該方法在各種討論中仍被普遍使用。他還在認(rèn)識(shí)和邏輯領(lǐng)域作出了重大而深遠(yuǎn)的貢獻(xiàn)。他的思想和方法所帶來(lái)的影響一直是后來(lái)西方哲學(xué)的堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ)。蘇格拉底是古代哲學(xué)史上最豐富多彩的人物。他在那個(gè)時(shí)代已經(jīng)威名遠(yuǎn)揚(yáng)。雖然他未曾建立什么哲學(xué)體系，未曾設(shè)立什么學(xué)派，也未曾創(chuàng)立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就變得家喻戶曉了。

Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’ traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’ thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucius thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it is also wins an increasing attention from the international community.
