Abstract

There is a great deal of poetry, wit, and wisdom in the writings of Adam Smith, and many wonderful passages. I like this one for several reasons. I like its grammatical austerity. I like that it is active rather than passive. I like the way the verb in the present tense gives the impression of indefinite continuation. I like the way the dual, hylomorphic, meaning of “produce,” as both the act of producing and also the material result of production, corresponds nicely with the dual, hylomorphic, meaning of “constitutes,” as both the act of imposing form and also as the matter of which the product consists.

史密斯在300年:劳动的自然报酬

亚当·斯密的作品中有大量的诗歌、机智和智慧，还有许多精彩的段落。我喜欢这个有几个原因。我喜欢它的语法简洁。我喜欢它是主动的而不是被动的。我喜欢动词的现在时给人不确定继续的印象。我喜欢“生产”的双重含义，既是生产的行为，也是生产的物质结果，与“构成”的双重含义很好地对应，“构成”既是强加形式的行为，也是构成产品的物质。
