On Voluntary Slavery

Voluntarily becoming a slave may seem absurd, but in reality it is common.

"The Israelites chose a tyrant... Who rejoiced in all the disasters that befell them."

A person who is forced to live in darkness can never imagine the light, and may even be afraid of the light, because it is an unknown that is far different from the painful present - people are afraid of change and the unknown.

It's so real. I can only speak for myself. The original text of La Boisi may not be able to get its meaning immediately when reading due to certain language habits and social background. We might as well read the postscript. The postscript is like refining and refining the original text, which can assist understanding.

Cultivating a hotbed of righteous thoughts and the only way to improve humanitarian literacy are the precursors of revolutionaries and herald the coming of dawn and dawn.

I very much agree with the second question in the third paragraph of the translated postscript of this book. Personally, I feel that Boeisi's idea is very simple. What I learned from history is that an outcome is caused by a combination of factors. However, the author also "defends" Boeishi in this paragraph and makes his own interpretation based on China's reality. So this point of view is just a point of view. It may be immature, but it is instructive. Is this what it means? [Exploring] [Working on draft]

Because of the times, it contains some objective idealism or religious content, and there are also some views that are a bit wrong in modern times. For example, human beings have the instinct to obey their parents, which does not seem to be the case in modern biological research, but these are harmless, and it is a book written in the 16th century after all. Overall, it is very enlightening. It explores the nature of autocracy so early, and the idea that all men are created equal and that civil disobedience was proposed more than 100 years ago during the French Revolution is still very strong.

Although the title of the book is not very catchy, there are really many examples (it is obvious that there are not many words, and the lack of surprises makes it difficult to chew).

Wonderful, Western version of "Princes, generals, would you rather have sex?", Of course they talk about freedom and awakening, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and they are good at using allusions. It is as enjoyable to read as all kinds of classic rebellious articles. No wonder it is quoted by Western rebels [Like] It's the translation postscript that makes me a little unsure about this point of view [face covering]

La Polesi looked back at the history of ancient Greece and Rome, discovered this truth, and wrote this paper in the 16th century. From the 16th century to the 21st century, we can still see that the truth in the book is subversive in politics and repeated over the years. Sometimes I really feel emotional, history is so wonderful. It can not only teach people profound lessons and put the truth before their eyes early; but it also takes the trouble to repeat it over and over again, allowing mankind to repeat the cycle of struggle. The French translation is really cute! And it was of great help to me who had no foundation in classical literature... The last words of the Chinese translation made me realize why this kind of article appeared in that distant Europe that was experiencing the Renaissance, rather than the ancient East that I was familiar with. This is different. Also, I can completely understand why this book can be used as a manifesto with repeated excerpts... It is concise, profound, easy to understand, and easy to spread... At 18 years old, he is a genius!

There is nothing new under the sun

It is indeed often difficult to distinguish between slavery and enslaved people, especially when the enslaved person is surrounded by people who are trying to curry favor with him for power and gain. The enslaved person is especially accustomed to this enslaved state, and being reasonable to such people is viewed with suspicion. Their minds, knowledge, and

2024.11.17.22.00 The author of Hei Niupi writes a book that is so profound and wise that it is difficult to understand after reading it once. You must read and learn again and again. It's really awesome. I didn't understand it the first time I watched it. But my time is limited, so I won't read it a second time. But worth watching for those with enough time. Can read and study. It is difficult to understand without ordinary culture.

Although I disagree with some aspects, it is indeed a good book that allows people to expand their thinking and understand some aspects. The last sentence is the essence

Let me tell you my own opinion: Animals are driven by desire when they are alive. As long as people are breathing, they cannot completely avoid making choices because of "I want". Therefore, they will compare the two ends of the scale, the price I paid for this thing, and the benefits of completing this thing by myself. At the same time, this principle also applies to some unreasonable rules. As long as you can restrain the rewards for winning the game, then this rule cannot restrain you. If you know that the rules are unfair, don't blindly follow them to encourage its power. Btw, one star is deducted because of the last paragraph of the translated narration in the last chapter, which is too unfavorable.

It's okay, but the limitations are too strong, and four to five hundred years is still too far away.

A century-old book worth reading.

I am amazed that an 18-year-old author in the 16th century could have such profound thoughts!

I have never seen a book like this. Although it is not rigorous, it is very thought-provoking.

This book is different from other books in that it gets straight to the point. Unlike other books that contain a large section of testimonials and the author's thought process. Anyway, it is better than other books in terms of expressive ability. This is a book that makes you want to read on just by reading the beginning. He won't exercise your patience in the first chapter.

It can be said to be a preliminary exploration of servility. The story is inspiring and thought-provoking, and is suitable for reading as a hobby and for later reading other books. Check in and complete.

This author pointed out this phenomenon and inspired people. But how to achieve a fair and free atmosphere is something we can only think about ourselves.

Good book, I was very touched after reading it

Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking Good-looking and good-looking

Novel perspectives and unique insights

A shock to the mind.

Thought provoking thought provoking

It is not as enlightening as imagined, but it does reveal that the initial scope of violence is only the five or six people around, and it is precisely because of too many silent people that it becomes more violent.

Very good point

Very cute child I haven't read for an hour, I've been reading on and off for a week
