前些日子读了一本叫做《衰老与老龄》的书。奇怪的是,这本书不是出自社会学家之手,也不是心理学家写就,而是美国第七巡回法院的首席法官波斯纳抛将出来的。他是当代著述最丰的法官,已经出版了30本书,发表过300多篇论文,在56岁那年,他“横空出世”写了这本法律之外的老年学著作,因为“衰老非常适时地引发了许多令人着迷的问题”——抱着一种好奇心来探究问题的学者,比为了某些功利目的写作的人,总是更让我 A few days ago read a book called “aging and aging” book. Curiously, the book was not written by sociologists or psychologists, but was posed by Chief Justice Posner of the Seventh Circuit. He is the most accomplished judge in his day, has published 30 books and published more than 300 papers.
