TOPIC:ISSUE 36 - "The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."
WORDS:530 TIME:2:02:57 DATE:2006-2-11
提纲:
POSITION:同意题目观点,只有后来人才能给与伟人准确且全面地评价。
TS1:同代人由于知识的局限性可能不能深刻的理解伟人的思想,而后来人则能更好的理解。 例子:Galois 理论,呵呵,偶是学数学的。
TS2:后来人由于知识面的扩宽,能更加全面地评价伟人的思想和他所带来的影响。达。芬奇不仅是艺术家而且引起了文艺复兴,百年后才能感受到他的影响。
In the long history of human, some famous people and their outstanding thoughts are regard as superior than their contemporaries. While the greatness of these geniuses is partly decided by people living in the same time, the truly accurately and completely evaluations are made by those who live after them, because of limitation of these contemporaries’ scientific knowledge and their narrow philosophical viewpoints.
In the first place, the people who live after them can understand both their preeminent precursors and their ideas in the different fields more deeply. The outstanding individuals must be famous for some distinctive ideas or new views with deep thoughts which may be far beyond the normal people's understanding, so the greatness of theses viewpoints and individuals will not be truly understood completely or even be granted during their contemporary time. Consequently, the judgment made only by contemporaries is unfair for these outstanding people as well as their unique thoughts. In the contrast, with the improving of the society, the developing of science disciplines and the investigating of philosophy, people who live after them can understand their advanced ideas clearly, and then these famous individuals will be honored in a more deep evaluation. Considering the example of Galois, a preeminent mathematical genius, who point out the link between group theory and the problem of the existence of roots in polynomial equations. His theory was first considered as a false method, but after carefully and deeply researching by following mathematicians, this method has been proved to be a successful mode for solving problems not only in the field of mathematics but also in theoretical physics in today's science. From this fact one can easily infer that the comments on famous individuals made by contemporary people is not completely accurate and even may be absolutely wrong, in this case people who live after can appraise more fairly and properly.
Moreover people after these super-normal persons could ensure that the reputations of individuals with outstanding thoughts receive a completely and thoroughly judgments. As common sense tells us that nothing is isolated, all matters are related each other. So it is the ideas from great individuals. These preeminent viewpoints are famous not only for revealing essential principles of the world after carefully observation but also for the significant influence on the behavior, philosophy, and ideology of common people and the entire society. All of these greatness can not be decided by only one generation, and it need several generations to feel the change made by these thoughts, thus it is unwarranted that the evaluation from contemporaries are valid. Then people who live after them can give the greatness, in some sense, a more complete and full appraisement. Leonado da Vinci, a famous artist, is famous for <<The smile of Mona Lisa>> which arrived at the apex of the art discipline, and he is also called "the leader of the Renaissance". His crucial position in Renaissance from fourteenth century to sixteenth century is due to his significant influence on the latter society reformation and philosophy change, and nearly all of his contemporaries could not see it. Only the latter people can feel these changes and then honored him as today's position.
In conclusion, lacking sufficient scientific knowledge and philosophy viewpoint, contemporaries will not give the greatness of individuals a proper and completely position. It is the people who live after them value their thoughts accurately and thoroughly.
