ESSAY #1 FROM "SCIENCE AND HEBREW TRADITION"
"과학과 히브리 전통"의 에세이 제1편
By Thomas Henry Huxley
토마스 헨리 헉슬리 저
RETROSPECTIVE PROPHECY AS A FUNCTION OF SCIENCE
과학의 기능으로서의 회고적 예언
"Une marque plus sure que toutes celles de Zadig." [1]--Cuvier.
"자딕의 모든 표식보다 더 확실한 표식." [1]--퀴비에.
It is an usual and a commendable practice to preface the discussion of the views of a philosophic thinker by some account of the man and of the circumstances which shaped his life and coloured his way of looking at things; but, though Zadig is cited in one of the most important chapters of Cuvier's greatest work, little is known about him, and that little might perhaps be better authenticated than it is.
어떤 철학적 사상가의 견해를 논하기에 앞서 그 인물과 그의 삶을 형성하고 사물을 바라보는 방식에 색채를 더한 여러 상황들에 대해 간략히 기술하는 것은 일반적이고도 바람직한 관행이다. 그러나 자딕은 퀴비에의 가장 중요한 저작의 핵심적인 장 중 하나에 인용되고 있음에도 불구하고, 그에 관해 알려진 바는 거의 없으며, 그나마 알려진 것조차 지금보다 더 확실히 입증될 필요가 있을 것이다.
It is said that he lived at Babylon in the time of King Moabdar; but the name of Moabdar does not appear in the list of Babylonian sovereigns brought to light by the patience and the industry of the decipherers of cuneiform inscriptions in these later years; nor indeed am I aware that there is any other authority for his existence than that of the biographer of Zadig, one Arouet de Voltaire, among whose more conspicuous merits strict historical accuracy is perhaps hardly to be reckoned.
그는 모압다르 왕의 시대에 바빌론에 살았다고 전해진다. 그러나 모압다르라는 이름은 근래에 설형 문자 해독자들의 인내와 노력으로 밝혀진 바빌론 군주들의 목록에는 나타나지 않는다. 또한 그의 존재에 대한 다른 어떤 권위 있는 근거도 내가 아는 한 없으며, 오직 자딕의 전기 작가인 아루에 드 볼테르의 기록만이 있을 뿐인데, 그의 두드러진 장점들 중에서 엄격한 역사적 정확성은 아마도 거의 꼽히기 어려울 것이다.
Happily Zadig is in the position of a great many other philosophers.
다행히도 자딕은 다른 많은 철학자들과 같은 처지에 있다.
What he was like when he was in the flesh, indeed whether he existed at all, are matters of no great consequence.
그가 살아 있었을 때 어떤 사람이었는지, 아니 실제로 존재했는지의 여부조차도 그다지 중요한 문제가 아니다.
