上帝的棋局——有关魏玛征文的一则寓言和哲学讨论

The Chess Game Played by God

“从过去解放未来,从未来解放过去”是1999年魏玛(Weimar)世界征文赛的问题,作者通过一则寓言和相关的哲学讨论,试图对它作出独到的解释。在寓言中,设想上帝为人类摆下了一盘没有输赢的棋局,在棋局游戏中,过去、现在、未来互相平等,且互相独立。现在是有长度的,人能够在现在中创造一切,并从过去、未来的纠葛中解脱出来。

To answer the Weimar International Essay Prize Contest question, 'Liberating the Past From the Future? Liberating the Future From the Past?', the author presents his thoughts through a fable and related philosophical discussions. In the fable, God designs a chess game which ends in a tie. In the game, the past, the present, the future are equal and independent. The present has length, in which men can create everything and free itself from the entanglement of the past and the future.
