“哲学秘传主义（Philosophical esotericism）——即‘在字里行间’隐秘传达非正统思想的做法——直到十八世纪末一直是一种普遍的风尚。例如，Diderot 著名的 Encyclopédie 不仅在二十多处不同的词条中探讨了这种手法，更承认其自身就采用了这种策略。西方思想史上记载着主要哲学家们数百条此类言论，证实了他们在自己或他人的著作中使用了秘传写作。然而，尽管有着如此悠久且详实的文献记载，秘传主义在当今却往往被贬抑为一种罕见现象。但

……创作出优秀的新作品，但这绝非易事。不假思索地直接剽窃过去的东西可容易太多了。我喜欢的在多处探讨了类似思考的书之一，是 Melzer 的《Philosophy Between the Lines: The Lost History of Esoteric Philosophy》。[0] [0] http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo186...
…produce great new works, but it can't be done easily. It's so much easier to simply loot the past without thinking. One of the books I like that considers similar thoughts at various points is Melzer's Philosophy Between the Lines: The Lost History of Esoteric Philosophy.

在文中提到的 Melzer 的那本《Philosophy Between the Lines》里，作者非常详尽地论证了：前现代的哲学写作默认采用密意（esoteric）风格，而在现代，我们默认采用显意（exoteric）风格。……
In the Melzer Philosophy Between the Lines book mentioned in the article, the author does a pretty throrough job of making the case that pre-modern philosophical writing defaulted to esoteric style, while in the modern era we default to exoteric.…
……优质内容，偶尔做做推广 2. 严格的版面审核（heavy moderation） 3. 密意写作（esoteric writing）。前两点很简单。第三点属于理论层面，基于我最近在读的一本书：Arthur Melzer 的《Philosophy Between the Lines》。这是一部既晦涩详尽又引人入胜的著作，讲述了哲学中密意写作的历史及其在现代的突然消逝。采用密意写作充当了另一层明确的精英主义过滤器，因为……
…Good content, advertised occasionally 2. Heavy moderation 3. Esoteric writing The first two are pretty simple. The third one is theoretical, based on the book I've been reading lately: Arthur Melzer - Philosophy Between the Lines. It's a dense and exhaustive but compelling history of esoteric writing in philosophy and its sudden disappearance in modern times. Writing esoterically acts as another, explicitly elitist filter because…
这是 Arthur Melzer 的《Philosophy Between the Lines》的一部绝佳补充读物。它的弦外之音在于回答：如何在传达某种思想的同时，又不至于滋生针对该思想的危险狂热狂热思维。
This is a great companion to Arthur Melzer's "Philosophy Between the Lines". It has the subtext of answering how to convey an idea without also creating dangerously fanatical thought about that idea.
……当作字面意义上的背书。哪怕是一些非常直白的陈述，也往往会被选择性地解读。这是否有问题，某种程度上取决于你的世界观。我推荐读读 Arthur Melzer 的《Philosophy Between the Lines》，它对这个主题有更全面的历史梳理。据他的考察，这至少可以追溯到古希腊时期。
…as a face value validation. Even some very direct statements tend to be read preferentially. Whether this is problematic or not depends somewhat on your view of the world. I recommend Arthur Melzer, Philosophy Between the Lines for a much more thorough historical treatment of the subject. By his reckoning it goes back to the ancient Greeks, at least.
……致力于培养精英思维，而不是试图去拉拢大众（他们只会不断寻找简单粗暴的信仰来依附）。关于密意写作（esoteric writing）这个话题的更多内容，我推荐 Arthur Melzer 的《Philosophy Between the Lines》。
…towards development of elite thinking, rather than trying to sway the masses(who will continually look for easy beliefs to latch onto). For more on the topic of esoteric writing I suggest Arthur Melzer's "Philosophy Between the Lines".
