知识产权的概念——关于某种思想可以为人所有的观念——是欧洲启蒙运动之子。只有当人们开始相信知识来自于运用感觉的人类头脑——而不是借助阅读古老的篇章,从神启那里获得知识——时,才可能把人当作新思想的创造者,并因而成为其所有人,而不只是作为永恒真理的传播者。 The concept of intellectual property - the idea that something is human-made-is the son of the Enlightenment in Europe. Only when people begin to believe that knowledge comes from using the human mind of feeling - rather than gaining knowledge from divine revelation through the reading of ancient texts - can it be possible to think of people as creators of new ideas and thus of all People, not just as communicators of eternal truth.
