威廉·詹姆斯致學生

William James to His Students

威廉·詹姆斯(1842—1910),美國著名哲學家、心理學家,1842年1月11日生於美國紐約。他和查爾斯·桑德斯·皮爾斯一起創立了實用主義。威廉·詹姆斯曾在法國接受教育,專業是心理學,當時心理學和哲學之間的差別還不很大。回到美國後,他一直在哈佛大學教書,是美國最早的實驗心理學家之一。他在此任教期間,班上的女生在一次大學禮儀性聚會上贈與他一棵杜鵑樹,詹姆斯寫此信答謝贈樹的學生。

Dear young ladies,

I am deeply touched by your remembrance. It is the first time anyone ever treated me so kindly, so you may well believe that the impression on the heart of the lonely sufferer will be even more durable than the impression on your minds of all the teachings of Philosophy 2A. I now perceive one immense omission in my Psychology, the deepest principle of Human Nature is the craving to be appreciated, and I left it out altogether from the book, because I had never had it gratified till now. I fear you have let loose a demon in me, and that all my actions will now be for the sake of such rewards. However, I will try to be faithful to this one unique and beautiful azalea tree, the pride of my life and delight of my existence. Winter and summer will I tend and water it even with my tears. Mrs. James shall never go near it or touch it. If it dies, I will die too; and if I die, it shall be planted on my grave.
