Day100|没有论辨的生活不值得过

上句见:Day99
The Story of Philosophy的第100句:第1章Plato第2节II. Socrates第2段第3句:

They were a motley crowd, these youths who flocked about him and helped him to create European philosophy. There were rich young men like Plato and Alcibiades, who relished his satirical analysis of Athenian democracy; there were socialists like Antisthenes, who liked the master’s careless poverty, and made a religion of it; there was even an anarchist or two among them, like Aristippus, who aspired to a world in which there would be neither master nor slaves, and all would be as worrilessly free as Socrates. All the problems that agitate human society to-day, and provide the material of youth’s endless debate, agitated as well that little band of thinkers and talkers, who felt, with their teacher, that life without discourse would be unworthy of a man. Every school of social thought had there its representative, and perhaps its origin.
浙江大学译本:总而言之,所有令当今社会惶惶不可终日、为青年人提供了无尽辩论材料的问题,同样被古雅典的思想者和公共言论者所思考,他们跟他们的老师一样,认为没有论道的生活是毫无价值的。
