The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be considered as a mere chronological record of discoveries and errors. It is the history of the human spirit in its endeavor to understand itself and its relation to the universe.
哲学史不像科学史那样，仅仅被视为发现和错误的年代记录。它是人类精神在努力理解自身及其与宇宙关系的历史。
Man is always something more than what he knows of himself. He is not what he is simply once and for all, but is a process.
人总是比他对自己所知道的要多。他不是一劳永逸地是什么，而是一个过程。
The more determinedly I exist, as myself, within the conditions of the time, the more clearly I shall hear the language of the past, the nearer I shall feel the breath of universal history.
我越是坚定地作为自己存在于时代的条件中，我就越清晰地听到过去的语言，越感受到普遍历史的呼吸。
