"Most societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them."
很多社会并不重视思想家，即使社会宣称很景仰这些思想家。



In general, I agree with the assertion that most greatest thinkers are ignored by their contemporary societies. They are normally acknowledged by person after their bones have been disappeared without trace when the human recognized their ideology is great. Even, although many people profess to admire them, they don’t take them seriously.

Throughout the history of human race, many great thinkers were ignored or persecuted. And some profound thinkers were out of step with their time and society. Consider of Socrates, one of the great thinkers of ancient Greece, who was sentenced to death by fire. Nobody believed he is a not bedlamite in his contemporary. And the government rebuked he rotted the youth and judge him to die. In these days, however, the people regard him as the greatest pioneer of the thinker in cynicism.

Everyone know the famous aphorism “You read the decision, the court’s fear than I would also like to fire a much larger”, which said by Bruno who was burnt to death by the executioner of the Roman Catholicism on Baihua Plaza in Roma. The Catholicism dreads Bruno’s arguments which out of their doxy. The arguments are so convincing that threat the reign of the dominator in that time. So, although these thinking are correctly right, they eliminate these theses resolutely.   

Even or consider of Confucius who lived 2000 years ago bequeath so many great consciousnesses that regarded as the widest impact ideologist in china. Many dynasties used his theory to retain their government, and pushed his position to the summit of the academia. They governors, however, only care the idea whether could help them govern and bondage the civil, yet not for his really thinking.  

In sum, the statement is absolutely correct. When we consider the meanings of “profound” and “creative”, we find that it is quite natural that thinkers are markedly different from their contemporaries. Their thoughts penetrate superficial views that common person hold.
