2021年《OF STUDIES》論讀書讀書筆記

1、Of Studies論讀書讀書筆記 在復活節(jié)假期中，忙著當空中飛人到處玩耍的我也在空余時間看了幾篇英國。論讀書，我之所以寫它是因為讓我驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)“ _讀書”這件事是任何時代每個國家的哲學家，思想家都在思考的問題。論語，荀子， _選集等等這些書，其中都有提到讀書的重要性。今兒，讓我們來看看西方的文人對這個問題的闡述, 在其中你會有所共鳴，會有所思考，會對中西方文人思維特點有個對比。 關(guān)于論讀書 古羅馬詩人奧維德在女英雄書信集中 早說過“Abeunt studia in mores”意為一切學問都對性格有所影響。在我們的生活中，每件事每個經(jīng)歷甚至偶然間讀過的某本書，這樣的事情反復積累沉淀，造就了不
