A More Direct Access
更为直接的通道
Fortunately, however, besides religion there is philosophy, which provides man with an access to the higher values—an access which is more direct than that provided by religion, because in philosophy, in order to be acquainted with the higher values, man need not take the roundabout way provided by prayers and rituals.
然而幸运的是，除了宗教之外还有哲学，哲学为人们提供更高的价值---这样的的价值通道比宗教更直接，因为在哲学中，为了接近更高的价值，人不需要经由祈祷和仪式绕圈子。
The higher values with which man has become acquainted through philosophy are even purer than those acquired through religion, because they are not mixed with imagination and superstition.
人们通过哲学获得的更高的价值比宗教提供的更为纯粹，因为这样的价值没有掺杂幻想和迷信。
In the world of the future, man will have philosophy in the place of religion.
在未来的世界，人们需要的将不再是宗教，而是哲学。
This is consistent with Chinese tradition.
这跟中国哲学传统相合。
It is not necessary that man should be religious, but it is necessary that he should be philosophical.
人们不需要宗教，但需要哲思。
When he is philosophical, he has the very best of the blessings of religion.
当人哲学化了，他也就得到了宗教所提供的最高福分。
