34、at philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in greece than in china. the chinese states were very large and feudal, while the greek city-states were small and urban. the urban env

35、ironment in which socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激進(jìn)的)than confucius. unlike confucius, socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. thus socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised t

36、hose in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.confucius suggested rule as a principle for the conduct of “do not do to others what you would not want others to you. ”he assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some potential than others, are that it was k

37、nowledge that set men apart. socrates focused on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. he believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. like confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下層的)classes.for

43、day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. we get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone again spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. mobile phones also have then dan

44、ger according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about. however, what do we do with the time we have saved? certainly not relax, or so it seems. we are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to

45、sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imaginations take us into another world.there was a time when some peoples lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle

51、course, some animals have powers just as amazing. birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. in natures went show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. if we reduce it to basic terms, i
