我们的思维方式甚至在年轻时就已固定。
这样我们就变成了詹 姆斯所说的
“
老顽固”
。当然也
有人直到老年思想保持开放,并不断调整自己的思维方式,
但这只是个别情况。人们既 可能
在
17
岁也可能在
70
岁成为老顽固。
“
我真
不敢这么直说(
詹姆斯语)
,
但我相信对大多数人
来说,
顽固不化大约在
25
岁就开始
发生了
。
”
25.
尽管
在确定思维的过程中有上述种种非理性的因素需要我们考虑在内,
但仍然有人—
—
不是
所有人,
也不是多数人,
但是有些 人
—
脑子里渴望了解事实,
理性地考虑事情的方 方面面,
不惜任何代价地去寻求真相,
而不管真相是什 么!
本文就为有这种头脑的人所写。

the forest.

wherever she went.
There were three
eyewitnesses,

2. When used as verbs, these words
often mean “to take away these things.” For
example,
He was sitting there peeling an
apple (husking com/scaling or gutting a

by hand.
It was time to weed the

There is an old saying that
there is more than one way to skin a
cat.

first thing in the
