交流的无奈:老子与彼得斯的不谋而合

Speaking into the Air:The Same Opinion of Lao-tzu and John Durham Peters by Coincidence

来自不同时代、不同国度的老子与彼得斯在各自的代表著作中不谋而合地表达了对于交流所持有的无奈的观点,更为巧合的是,两者都以乐观的态度看待这种无奈的交流,都希望以"仁爱"来解救人类交流的困境。不同的是,彼得斯解决方法在于"己之所欲,请施于人",而老子则以大音希声、大辩若讷、以静制动等方式调控自我而实现交流的超越。也许,这并不仅仅只是一种巧合而已,而是智慧的思想碰撞出的美妙火花。

Although they lived in different ages and countries,Lao-tzu and John Durham Peters held the same idea about the question of communication.In their opinion,communication is speaking into the air,and they were optimistic about communication.Some of their ideas are the same while some are different.To John Durham Peters,to solve the question of communication,one should follow the principle：＂impose your preferences on other people＂,while in Lao-tzu＇s opinion,the best way to solve the question is keeping silent at any time.
