为什么值得读
- 反思原始人类智力与艺术能力的成见
- 巧妙借用异教意象阐释基督教义核心
- 充满引人深思的宗教哲学探讨与趣味
<p><i>The Everlasting Man</i> 的灵感源自 <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells">H. G. Wells</a> 的 <i>The Outline of History</i>，后者将人类与宗教的历史完全解释为自然选择和其他物质原因的产物。相比之下，<a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/g-k-chesterton">G. K. Chesterton</a> 则在整个人类历史脉络中为基督教进行了辩护，首先阐明了人类在动物界中的独特性，其次阐明了基督与教会在其他宗教和哲学中的独特性。</p> <p>本书以 Ches

这篇文章的标题让我想起了 G·K·切斯特顿（GK Chesterton）的一本发人深省的书《永恒之人》（The Everlasting Man）。显然他是从宗教视角来写的，但其中有一处讨论提出了一个我以前从未想过的问题。为什么我们会想当然地认为原始人比我们要缺乏智慧或艺术细胞呢……
The title of this article reminded me of a thought provoking book by GK Chesterton, "The Everlasting Man", obviously he write from a religious perspective but one discussion raised a question that I had not considered before. Why do we assume primitive man was any less intelligent or artistic than we are…
……基督教。C·S·刘易斯（C.S. Lewis）的护教学著作（《地狱修书》、《痛苦的奥秘》、《梦幻巴士》）、奥古斯丁的《忏悔录》和《上帝之城》、托马斯·默顿的《七重山》，以及 G·K·切斯特顿的《永恒之人》。现在的年轻人很少读（甚至根本不知道）这些作品，我认为这简直是一场悲剧。西方精神世界崩塌了，除了几个小圈子之外，根本没有任何有实质内涵的东西来填补这一空白……
…Christianity. The apologetics of C.S. Lewis (Screwtape Letters, The Problem with Pain, The Great Divorce), Augustine's Confessions and City of God, Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton and G.K. Chesterton's Everlasting Man. These are seldom read (or known) by young people today and I see that as a tragedy. Western spirituality was demolished and nothing substantial has emerged to fill the void left, besides a coterie…
圣奥古斯丁——《忏悔录》（最早的心灵自传）或《上帝之城》；G·K·切斯特顿——《永恒之人》
St. Augustine - Confessions (first spiritual autobiography) or City of God G. K. Chesterton - The Everlasting Man
……（从“开始离题”那里算起），有一段关于拟人化隐喻的探讨你可能会感兴趣：http://www.wall.org/~aron/blog/god-and-time-iv-impassibility... 另外，你读过 G·K·切斯特顿的《永恒之人》吗？里面关于道成肉身的一些观点和你的评论不谋而合，而且整本书读起来都很有趣。
…(starting from Begin digression), there's an exploration of anthropomorphic metaphors that might interest you: http://www.wall.org/~aron/blog/god-and-time-iv-impassibility... Also, have you read The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton? It has some ideas found in your comment regarding the Incarnation and it is overall a fun read.
……完全是个谎言 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSzF2OG2ejI。GK 切斯特顿对异教徒也有很多精辟的论述 http://www.online-literature.com/chesterton/heretics/12/，他的《永恒之人》一书非常值得一读，书中巧妙地借用异教典故来引向基督教信仰。
…is a lie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSzF2OG2ejI. GK Chesterton has a lot of interesting things to say about Pagans also http://www.online-literature.com/chesterton/heretics/12/, and his book The Everlasting Man is worth reading for the way that it uses pagan tropes to point towards Christianity.
……他平时那些精彩绝伦的论辩，一旦聊到他自己的宗教，往往就变得非常敷衍和愚蠢。但每个作者都有自己的盲区。这里有个例子证明 GKC 可以在极其严肃的同时又非常幽默：哪怕是讲耶稣的《永恒之人》，（从我这个无神论者的角度看）也闪烁着天才的光芒。出自第一章《洞穴人》，讲的是我们的偏见与我们对早期人类的真实了解之间的对比：“就任何……而言
…usual brilliant arguments often turn into very lazy, stupid ones where his religion is the topic. But every writer has their blind spots. An example of GKC being very funny while very serious: Even The Everlasting Man, about Jesus, has its moments of brilliance (from my atheist perspective). From its first chapter The Man in the Cave, about our prejudices vs what we actually know about early humans: 'So far as any…
