東海大學那套 PM 羅素的幽默圖書館五四年情緣（待詳細準備再直播）

Classic example of Bertrand Russell's humor:

1 + 1 = 2.

“The above proposition is occasionally useful.“

— Bertrand Russell, in a rather subtle comment after the proof that

1 + 1 = 2, completed in Principia Mathematica, Volume II. 1st edition (1912) p. 86

━━

The Principia Mathematica (often abbreviated PM) is a three-volume work on the foundations of mathematics written by the mathematicians Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. Whitehead and Russell attempted to use symbolic logic to derive mathematics from basic axioms (1+1=2 is proved in Volume II). While PM is highly regarded by many mathematicians the book's notations are not widely used today. Nonetheless, the scholarly, historical, and philosophical interest in PM is great and ongoing. The Modern Library placed it 23rd in a list of the top 100 English-language nonfiction books of the twentieth century.

東海大學那套 PM 羅素的幽默圖書館五四年情緣（待詳細準備再直播）

English mathematician Godfrey Harold Hardy concerning Principia Mathematica:

“I can remember Bertrand Russell telling me of a horrible dream. He was in the top floor of the University Library, about A.D. 2100. A robotic library assistant was going round the shelves carrying an enormous metal bucket, taking down books, glancing at them, restoring them to the shelves or dumping them into the bucket. At last he came to three large volumes which Russell could recognize as the last surviving copy of Principia Mathematica. He took down one of the volumes, turned over a few pages, seemed puzzled for a moment by the curious symbolism, closed the volume, balanced it in his hand and hesitated. And that was all.“

— G. H. Hardy, A Mathematician's Apology (1940), p. 83

"As a child, I wanted to be a physicist. I begged my mother to let me go to Tokyo to study physics. I promised I would win the Nobel Prize in Physics. So, 50 years later, I returned to my village and said to my mother, 'See, I have kept my promise. I won the Nobel Prize.' 'No,' said my mother, who has a very fine sense of humour, 'You promised it would be in physics!'"

‘We don’t admire Simone Weil because we agree with her, Susan Sontag argued in 1963: “I cannot believe that more than a handful of the tens of thousands of readers she has won since the posthumous publication of her books and essays really share her ideas.”

What we admire, Sontag thought, is her extreme seriousness, her absolute effort to become “excruciatingly identical with her ideas”, to make herself a person who is “rightly regarded as one of the most uncompromising and troubling witnesses tothe modern travail of the spirit”.

Sontag underestimates the power of Weil’s ideas, I think, but she is right to say that in the minds of readers, Weil’s thought and life are intrinsically connected. Her life is the ground that gives her thinking its full meaning.’

日本核電廠排水加劇中國房地產危機！

雖然聽起來不可思議，不過歷史以一種難以預料的方式發生了。中國民眾為了避免核污染，購買蓋革計數器檢測海洋食品，結果多數未發現核污染。

不過既然買了蓋革計數器，自然也會拿去測量其他物品。一測之下竟然發現了不起的事情，八成上海住家與辦公大樓的核輻射超過上海環境輻射標準的上限！連央視都加以報導。

檢測之下發現，中國的建材普遍有超標核輻射的問題，這讓不少中國民眾大驚失色，其他城市也紛紛效法檢測，初步顯示中國建築輻射污染的情形恐怕相當普遍，開始對房地產商抱怨。

從恒大、碧桂園到SOHO的財務危機本來已經讓中國房地產泡沫破裂，如今民眾發現原來核輻射污染不是來自海上，而是來自住家與辦公室，每天暴露在超標的核污染中。這個發現無異於對正在墜落的房地產市場落井下石，讓中國經濟陷入更大的困難中。

所有心情：

Blake is the one poet worth viewing; the one graphic artist worth reading. This gallery presents his poetry as it was meant to be seen, and his art as it was meant to be read.
The Book of Job:
Blake had a deep interest in "Job," and, starting as early as the 1780s, had done several series of watercolors, drawings, and paintings based on it. When he finally embarked on the project of publishing an illustrated version of it in 1823, the result was a highly symbolic and dynamic reinterpretation of the biblical book and a powerful statement of Blake's own philosophy.
Blake's advice to the reader in his "A Vision of the Last Judgment" is well worth keeping in mind as one views these pages: "I intreat, then, that the Spectator will attend to the Hands & Feet, to the Lineaments of the Countenances; they are all descriptive of Character, & not a line is drawn without intention, & that most discriminate & particular. As Poetry admits not a Letter that is Insignificant, so Painting admits not a Grain of Sand or a Blade of Grass Insignificant -- much less an Insignificant Blur or Mark."
This is a drama of the soul, its symbolic journey through the story of Job from the innocence of all-absorbing Selfhood, through the trials and tribulations of suffering and doubt, to the final redemption from Self. Blake saw in the Job story an antidote to the vulgar error of seeing misfortunes as punishments for sin. Nor does he see them as a "test," as the biblical book does, the issue of a wager between Satan and the Lord. Satan plays more the role of the introducer of doubt and guilt into Job's life of complacent submissiveness to tradition, forcing him to undertake the search for the true God.
Blake, as many scholars have noted, was nothing if not systematic. The twenty-one illustrations are themselves divided into three cycles of seven. Job passes from the State of Innocence (I,II) to that of Experience (III-VII), to Revolt (VIII), to "the Dark Night of the Soul" (IX-XII), before entering the state of the "New Life" (XIII-XXI). As explained in the note to the Title Page, there is also the symbology of the seven "angels" through whose "eyes" each element of the drama is seen. Each plate also has one or more "contraries" against which they must be viewed. These are indicated in the bottom of the notes to each plate.
Though the book was prepared in 1825 and was not printed until March 1826, Blake had already done two series of watercolors for his patrons Thomas Butts and John Linell. These appear immediately after their corresponding engraved book plate. I have transcribed Blake's text on each page (reading top to bottom) for the viewer's convenience, as well as indicated the biblical source which Blake either paraphrases or quotes literally. As one will quickly note. this is Blake telling the story in his own way, rather than an illustrated edition of biblical Book of Job.
The Songs of Innocence & of Experience:
If readers are at all familiar with Blake's poetry it is most likely through poems from these two collections -- e.g., "The Tyger," "The Lamb," "London" -- staples of high-school English texts that are both powerful in their rhythms and memorable in their imagery. But Blake was also an artist. For him image and word must fit like hand and glove. So, avail yourself of the opportunity to read Blake's poetry as it was meant to be seen.
In 1789 Blake produced twenty-seven plates of his "Songs of Innocence," printing a limited number of copies using a color process of his own invention. In 1794 he began executing another series of plates for the "Songs of Experience" using the same process, but, dissatisfied with the results, abandoned it and reverted to his old method of hand-coloring individual copies. The "Songs of Experience" were conceived as a set antithetical poems to those of "Innocence," reflecting how public events and private emotions transformed the unspoiled state of innocence. Blake transferred several of the "Innocence" poems to "Experience," but never published it as a separate volume, instead producing individual hand-colored copies of the combined volumes upon demand throughout the rest of his lifetime. Since he also re-arranged the sequence of the poems frequently and colored each ordered set differently, no two instances of the "Songs of Innocence and Experience" are identical, though the texts of the individual poems remained the same. The one reproduced here is from the Yale Center for British Art. The text of each poem appears underneath each image for the viewer's convenience.
The "Prophetic" Books:
Between 1789 and 1795 Blake also published eight volumes of his poetry with hand-colored illustrations. These so-called "prophetic books" are presented here in their entirety, with the corresponding text and other background information in the commentary section to the right of the large image. Due to its length, only a few plates from the later "prophetic book," "Jerusalem" are included here. Plates for these books appear in this order:
* The Book of Thel (1789) -- 8 plates
* The Marriage of Heaven & Hell (1792) -- 28 plates (This work is the best expression of Blake's philosophy.)
* America. A Prophecy (1793) -- 18 plates
* Europe. A Prophecy (1794) -- 17 plates
* The First Book of Urizen (1794) - 25 plates
* The Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1795) -- 11 plates
* The Song of Los (1795) -- 8 plates
* The Song of Ahania (1795) -- 6 plates
* Jerusalem (1810) -- selection of 10 plates
