Truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists are always out of step with their time and society?
----------------
Are truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists always out of step with their time and society? In my view, although any ground breaking theories and works are often unacceptable to the conservatives and suffer from server critics, they are trying to solve the core problems of that time, so they have the tightest connection with their time and society.
It might seem tempting to agree with the speaker, on the basis of the seemingly unwelcome attitude of conservatives to truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists. They, as the pioneers of time and fashion, always attempt to bring something new to the society, because they regard their life aim as an unremitting process to continually transcend themselves as well as to challenge and break constraint social customs. To the extent that any conservative class would be unhappy with new things, they would inevitably antagonize against such thinkers and artists, because such activities has shaken their beliefs. Copernicus published the sun center theory and was punished by the church; Galileo asserted that anything would fall with equal speed down to the earth, despite their weight, and aroused nation wide critics from supporters of Aristotle. Moreover, profound thinkers and creative artists may violate the very interests of the governors, which would again incur punishments. Therefore, they would apparently seem out of step with their time and society.分析得蛮好的,我觉得moreover之前和之后的内容是否应该平衡一下,前面很长,moreover后面只有一句话
However, this is not true because the problems thinkers and artists perceive are generally the most emergent ones in their time and society. With extraordinary intelligence and insight, these pioneers can always catch important social problems and conflicts with their acute eyes. Truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists are not dealing with any problems of absurdity. In contrast, they are trying to cogitate and solve the core conflicts of their time. 个人觉得不一定Therefore, they are not out of step with their time and society. On the contrary, they are tightly associated with it. Moreover, most of their views were finally accepted by the society as time passed by. Marx realized that the major reason for social conflicts and societal revolutions is the clash of interests between the poor and the rich, then he wrote the book of communism; Darwin was suspicious about the notion that human beings were made by God, and then he published evolution theory after 15 years of expedition. Both of them were criticized violently at that time. However, as time passed by people gradually began to accept their notions. Any gospel could live through the examination of time.(真理经受住时间的检验,对吗???)“真理”具有时间的局限性吧,我觉得你这段的内容并没有“however”,从你的例子来看,这些人在当时的确是out of step了
Indeed, any society claiming to be civilized should be characterized by tolerance of new things. The pioneers of the time would always try to challenge the society, and that society should learn to understand that they are not going to disturb the lives of others, but to make the world a more orderly one. As a result, the new ideas brought by them should not be widely criticized. If a society wants to develop and progress lastly, it must try to be tolerant and not to constrain the atmosphere of freedom. Toleration goes a long way in societal development and forestalling culture conflicts and wars.这段是楼主的延伸,分析得蛮好的,建议开始把Truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists out of step with their time and society强调的多一点,这样感觉更扣题
In the final analysis, the speaker's statement is partly true. As the pioneers of time, works by truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists always incur server critics. However, they are not out of step with their time and society. In contrast, they are tightly connected to their time. Only when a society learns to be tolerant and understanding can it claim to be civilized.
总的来说,楼主写得蛮好的,论述分析都不错,我对有几个小问题提出了一下自己的看法,希望楼主也拍拍我的 |
