TOPIC：ISSUE 36 - "The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."
提纲：
1 从科学角度，后人可以更准确和客观的评价前人的成就，后人拥有更多的知识和更先进的技术和设备。很多科学真理的提出在当时总是置疑或攻击已被接受的权威思想，而后来随着科学的进步得以理解。
2 从政治角度，后人更能清楚的了解社会发展和政治的深远影响。前人可能受当时的时代局限或受当权者的响。
3 从哲学角度，新的理论往往批判当时的权威思想因此不被接受，只有后人的回顾才能给予肯定的评价。
4 从艺术角度，天才的作曲家或文学家的成就很容易被当时的人们所认知并对后人有深远影响，所以同时代的人们的评价是中肯的。

Can the achievement of individuals only be decided by their descendants but not their contemporaries, as the speaker contends? Although I agree that people who live after those individuals can evaluate their accomplishment more accurate and objective, there is many immediate recognitions by their contemporaries.

I agree with the statement insofar as descendants have several advantages to assess the greatness of their forerunners. In the science realm, important theories always generated as outrageous or at least uncomfortable attacks to challenge the accepted wisdom. Most residents were influenced by the existing ideas or authorial celebrities at that era-consciously or unconsciously. The great impacts from the accepted wisdoms strongly affect their attitudes to the innovated ideas or inventions. Besides, their comments to them were restrained by the poor technologies and equipments of experiments. On the contrary, people who live after the figures possess more advanced scientific techniques and sufficient knowledge about the evolution of the new theory and even its practicality. They can use superior methods to confirm it by numerous distinct experiments. Consider, for example, people in the modern world can use various superior measures such as quantum spectrum or electron collision experiment to substantiate it while individuals at that time can only make some inference on it. Based on the reliable statistics from the effective experiments, people who live after the figures can evaluate their greatness more completely and efficiently.

In the politics realm, some valuable ideas need time to prove their truth. This is particularly manifest in the political realm. Whether a policy is supposed to serve the general public, or just satisfy the greedy ambitions of the leadership can be determined cannot be determined by the contemporaries but by the descendants. Consider Adolph Hitler, his acclamations for bringing the citizens of Germany excessive resources and superficial living conditions obsessed almost all the Germanys at that time. However, to achieve his private aggression for politics, the whole Germany was plunged into the disaster-the Second World War which was proved a massacre in the human history. After all, our descendants have better understanding of the deduction of our society and the evolution of our political mechanisms. Additionally, they undertake far more influences of the previous strategies made by the former political leaders so that their comments of the greatness of the forerunners are more justifiable and objective.

In the philosophy realm, a person's accomplishments can be recognized only in retrospect, by those who after the figure. Take Kant-one of the most famous philosophers in the world, for example. His grand ideas which were against the typically accepted metaphysics in his era have ever been consider as the desecration for the dominant religious faith. However, until his death had the truth of his critical theories been recognized by the descendants whose views toward the philosophy became more

On the other hand, people who live in the same time with those figures also can put high light on their accomplishments. We do not require a retrospect to confirm some artistic greatness-whether in music, painting, or literature, because the talent artists and their accomplishments can be recognized immediately. History is replete with examples of artistic accomplishment immediately be recognized, then later confirmed. Shakespeare's works such as Hamlet are prevailing in the era of Naissance and even today's readers prefer reading them than other literatures. Beethoven was regarded as the most influenced composer and musician at his life time and his works, for example, Hero, were constantly praised by people in the modern world.

In sum, though the descendants indeed have several advantages to assess the achievements of their predecessors in some realms, to determine the individuals' greatness is not merely hinged on the evaluations of them but also people who live with those figures at the same era.
