讀A. N. Whitehead 對William James一篇論文之評語、翻譯和聯想

"James clears the stage of the old paraphernalia, or rather he entirely alters the lighting." p.668


詹氏清除了舊物場地，或者說，他將其照明全然改換了。p.1124

詹姆斯把舊有的道具清除出舞台，或者應當說他完全改變了舞台的照明。p.678

***hc 觀點

翻譯看法：將舞台翻譯出來比較好（不過不要重複：「…..出舞台，……舞台的）」

史境看法：
A. N. Whitehead 1925年說的William James這篇畫時代之作：Does consciousness exists?乃為1904作品 ，收入1912年出版的Essays in Radical Empiricism: Chapter 1, New York: Longman Green and Co (1912): 1-38. .
在世紀之交，舞台完全換成電燈等方式，還是令人有一番新的氣象的。

我們的說法，或許為James此文為「開風氣之作，令人燦然一新」。
