“本书探讨了我们这个时代许多引起轰动的政治争议背后重大的道德问题。它并非一本令人感到宽慰的书，而是一本关乎令人不安且危险之趋势的著作。《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》揭示了对正义的混乱认知最终如何助长了不公，对平等的混乱认知最终如何助长了不平等，以及社会愿景的专制如何阻碍了许多人去直面自己信仰与政策带来的实际后果。这些后果包括对自由基本原则持续而危险的侵蚀——在

《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》是索维尔（Sowell）的又一本神作，对许多现代政策讨论背后的乌托邦思维发起了挑战。它将乌托邦式的“宇宙”正义与更加平实（但也切实可行）的“人类”……进行了对比。
The Quest for Cosmic Justice is another great book by Sowell that challenges the utopian mindset that underlies many modern policy discussions. It contrasts utopian "cosmic" justice with the much more prosaic (but achievable) "human"…
如果你还没看过的话，托马斯·索维尔在《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》里对“追求不可能之物”作出了极为一针见血的评价。虽然有一整本书，但最初的那场演讲就已经讲明了核心观点：https://www.tsowell.com/spquestc.html 绝对值得一看，哪怕你觉得它不适用于当前场景。
If you've not seen it, Thomas Sowell incisively comments on the wish for the impossible in The Quest for Cosmic Justice. There's a full book, but the original speech gives the main point: https://www.tsowell.com/spquestc.html Definitely worth a look, even if you don't think it applies here.
……这个宇宙是呈正态分布的。> 你是在断言历史向来是正义的吗？在回答这个问题之前，先好好想清楚。什么是“正义”？在回答那个问题之前，也要深思熟虑。其实，去读读索维尔的《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》和《Intellectuals and Society》吧。你会发现，“社会正义”口中的正义，跟历史上人们所认为的正义有着天壤之别。而且在我看来，……
…this universe is normally distributed. > Are you asserting that history has been just? Think hard before you answer this one. What is "just"? Think hard before you answer that one. Actually, read "The Quest for Cosmic Justice" and the "Intellectuals and Society" by Sowell. You'll find that the social justice version of justice is vastly different from what people have historically thought of as justice. It is also, in my estimation,…
任何真心觉得这是个好主意的人，都应该去读读托马斯·索维尔的《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》（http://www.amazon.com/Quest-Cosmic-Justice-Thomas-Sowell/dp/...），以及索维尔写过的其他所有东西，还有哈耶克、冯·米塞斯、弗里德曼以及所有那些早就把这种论调彻底驳斥过的经济学家的著作……
Anyone who actually thinks this is a good idea should read Thomas Sowell's The Quest for Cosmic Justice (http://www.amazon.com/Quest-Cosmic-Justice-Thomas-Sowell/dp/...), and everything else Sowell wrote, and Hayek and von Mises, and Friedman and all the other economists who've long since debunked this…
托马斯·索维尔绝对称得上是一位旷世奇才。我读过他的好几本书，包括《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》。他的文字绝对会改变/影响一个人的世界观。强烈推荐，怎么吹都不为过。
Thomas Sowell is unequivocally a brilliant man. I’ve read several of his books, including “The Quest for Cosmic Justice”. His writings will definitely change/influence one’s world view. I can’t recommend him enough.
T. 索维尔的《The Quest for Cosmic Justice》可以概括为三个命题，它们看似不言自明，但其推论在政治上其实极具争议：1. 不可能的事是成不了的。2. 这纯属浪费……
T. Sowell: The Quest for Cosmic Justice can be summarized in three propositions which may seem to be axiomatic, but whose implications are in fact politically controversial: 1. The impossible is not going to be achieved. 2. It is a waste…
