چرا سوسیالیسم؟

 آلبرت انیشتین :: ترجمه: آرش برومند

پیشگفتار مترجم

آلبرت اینشتین را در سراسر جهان به خاطر دستاورد های دوران ساز فیزیکی اش – از جمله نظریه نسبیت – می شناسند. اما آن چه که بسیاری نمی شناسند، چهره این دانشمند به مثابه یک اندیشمند اجتماعی و سوسیالیست است. ناشناس ماندن این چهره اینشتین تصادفی نیست. در دوران جنگ سرد که نیروهای درگیر در این جنگ از هر موقعیتی در نبرد ایدئولوژیک علیه هم استفاده می کردند، از کنار نظریه ها و موضعگیری های اجتماعی این شخصیت برجسته بیشتر اوقات به سکوت می گذشتند . از یک سو طرفداران نظام سرمایه داری نمی خواستند سیمای اینشتین به عنوان یکی از منتقدان جدی این نظام شناخته شود ، از سوی دیگر طرفداران نظام «سوسیالیسم روسی» که نظریات سوسیالیستی اینشتین را در چار چوب تنگ اندیشگی خود نمی توانستند بگنجانند، از کنار این جنبه از شخصیت وی عبور می کردند.ا

Today, I sit in Egypt with my wife and son. I thought my mother would be with us. Rest in peace, my beloved. I am so sorry I couldn't save you.
 

The End of the Story

One of the very old but unanswered questions is how it is that most people don't think about the end of the life story, and they don't try to learn from those who have been gone.
