《哲学的故事》的第26句:序言中的第3段第2句。

Shall we be more technical? Science is analytical description, philosophy is synthetic interpretation.Science wishes to resolve the whole into parts, the organism into organs, the obscure into the known. It does not inquire into the values and ideal possibilities of things, nor into their total and final significance; it is content to show their present actuality and operation, it narrows its gaze resolutely to the nature and process of things as they are. The scientist is as impartial as Nature in Turgenev’s poem: he is as interested in the leg of a flea as in the creative throes of a genius. But the philosopher is not content to describe the fact; he wishes to ascertain its relation to experience in general, and thereby to get at its meaning and its worth; he combines things in interpretive synthesis; he tries to put together; better than before, that great universe-watch which the inquisitive scientist has analytically taken apart. Science tells us how to heal and how to kill; it reduces the death rate in retail and then kills us wholesale in war; but only wisdom--desire coördinated in the light of all experience – can tell us when to heal and when to kill. To observe processes and to construct means is science; to criticize and coördinate ends is philosophy: and because in these days our means and instruments have multiplied beyond our interpretation and synthesis of ideals and ends, our life is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. For a fact is nothing except in relation to desire; it is not complete except in relation to a purpose and a whole. Science without philosophy, facts without perspective and valuation, cannot save us from havoc and despair. Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.
浙江大学版本:科学是分析式描述,哲学是综合式诠释。

解析

这句给出science与philosophy的特点。science是analytical description;philosophy是synthetic interpretation。两者截然不同。science重在支解,而philosophy重在综合。“头痛医头”有点像science的处理方式,“将人体当系统”有点像philosophy的处理方式。

1、语法:用逗号连接两句
通常逗号不能直接连接两句,一般用连词。
直接用逗号连接的算语法中的特例,见于列出、对比或强调两个平行结构的情况,像文中的science与philosophy。

We do the best, god does the rest.尽人事,听天命。
God proposes, man disposes.谋事在人,成事在天。

2、对仗句式 A is。。。B is。。。
好的中文,特别是古文非常讲究对仗美。如唐诗,宋词之类的。我个人小学是没有大量此类输入,但现在小孩子都还是有点输入的。什么《中小学古诗词80首》呀,什么《笠翁对韵》呀……只是节奏有点快,有点浅,老师不带读了,小孩也不跟了。但多少比我们那时好。

天对地,雨对风。大陆对长空。山花对海树,赤日对苍穹。——节选自《笠翁对韵》
大漠孤烟直,长河落日圆。——王维《使至塞上》
溪云初起日沉阁,山雨欲来风满楼。——许浑《咸阳城东楼》

科学是分析性描述,而哲学是整合性诠释。
