'व्हाट इज़ ए पर्सन?' (व्यक्ति क्या है?) सामाजिक संरचनाओं के केंद्रीय केंद्र के रूप में मानवीय व्यक्तित्व के अर्थ का एक स्पष्ट और व्यापक पुनर्विचार है। अपनी बौद्धिक व्यापकता और बुद्धिमत्ता के संतुलन के साथ, स्मिथ इक्कीसवीं सदी की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बहसों के लिए चिंतन के दायरे को नए सिरे से तय करते हैं।

What is a Person? is a clear and comprehensive reconsideration of the meaning of human personhood as the central core of social structures. With breadth of intellect and balance of wisdom, Smith resets the frame of reflection for the most important discussions of the twenty-first century.

सारी सच्ची प्रगति नए तथ्यों की खोज से होती है। कोई ऐसा कानून नहीं बनाया जा सकता जिससे एक एकड़ ज़मीन तीन सौ बुशल फसल पैदा करने लगे। भगवान ने नियम पहले ही तय कर दिए हैं। हमारा काम उन्हें खोजना और उन तथ्यों को सीखना है जिनके जरिए हम उनका पालन कर सकें।

All genuine progress results from finding new facts. No law can be passed to make an acre yield three hundred bushels. God has already established the laws. It is four us to discover them, and to learn the facts by which we can obey them.

एक जीवविज्ञानी होने के नाते, मुझे यह स्वीकार करना होगा कि मैं यह नहीं समझ पाया हूँ कि जीवन की शुरुआत कैसे हुई... मेरा मानना है कि जीवन की शुरुआत केवल एक क्रियाशील कोशिका के स्तर पर होती है। सबसे आदिम कोशिकाओं के लिए भी कम से कम कई सौ अलग-अलग विशिष्ट जैविक वृहद-अणुओं (मैक्रो-मॉलिक्यूल्स) की आवश्यकता हो सकती है। इतनी जटिल संरचनाएं अपने आप कैसे एक साथ आ गईं, यह मेरे लिए एक रहस्य बना हुआ है। एक रचयिता, यानी ईश्वर के अस्तित्व की संभावना, मेरे लिए इस समस्या का एक संतोषजनक समाधान पेश करती है।

Although a biologist, I must confess I do not understand how life came about... I consider that life only starts at the level of a functional cell. The most primitive cells may require at least several hundred different specific biological macro-molecules. How such already quite complex structures may have come together, remains a mystery to me. The possibility of the existence of a Creator, of God, represents to me a satisfactory solution to this problem.

ज्ञान के प्रति अवसरवादी दृष्टिकोण एक ऐसा उपयोगितावादी आग्रह है जिसमें यह अपेक्षा की जाती है कि ज्ञान तुरंत व्यावहारिक होना चाहिए। ठीक समाजशास्त्र की तरह, जहाँ हम उम्मीद करते हैं कि इसका उद्देश्य समाज की सेवा करना है, हालाँकि, समाजशास्त्र का असली उद्देश्य इसकी अव्यवहारिकता में निहित है। इसे व्यावहारिक नहीं बनना चाहिए, वरना यह अपना अर्थ खो देगा। शायद हमें ज्ञान का एक अलग ही रूप सीखना चाहिए: ज्ञान पर ही सवाल उठाने का ज्ञान।

Opportunism towards knowledge is a utilitarian demand that knowledge must be immediately practical. Just like with sociology where we hope its purpose is to serve society, however, the true purpose of sociology lies in its impracticality. It cannot become practical or else it loses its meaning. Perhaps we should learn a different kind of knowledge: the knowledge to question knowledge.

'वेटिंग फ़ॉर गोडोट' ने नाटक की दुनिया में एक असंभव लगने वाली बात को सच कर दिखाया है—एक ऐसा नाटक जिसमें कुछ नहीं होता, फिर भी दर्शक अपनी सीटों से बंधे रहते हैं। और तो और, चूँकि इसका दूसरा अंक पहले अंक का ही थोड़ा सा बदला हुआ रूप है, इसलिए लेखक ने एक ऐसा नाटक लिख डाला है जिसमें कुछ नहीं होता, वो भी दो बार।

मुझे याद है कि एक बार जब मैं पेरिस की एक गैलरी में गया, तो वहाँ अलग-अलग जगहों पर बने अर्थवर्क्स (अर्थ आर्ट) के चित्र रखे हुए थे। मैंने गैलरी की डेस्क पर बैठी महिला से पूछा कि ये कलाकृतियाँ कहाँ हैं—फ्रांस में इन्हें कहाँ देखा जा सकता है। उसने मुझे ऐसे घूर कर देखा मानो मैंने कोई बहुत ही पागलपन भरा सवाल पूछ लिया हो। वह बोली, "अरे भाई, ये कलाकृतियाँ असल में कहीं मौजूद नहीं हैं। ये सिर्फ ख्यालात यानी अवधारणाएँ हैं।"

I remember when I went to a gallery in Paris at one point, they had drawings of earthworks set in different places. I asked the person sitting at the gallery desk where these works were - where in France they could be found. She looked at me in horror as if I'd asked something completely insane. She said, "Well, of course, these works don't actually exist. They're concepts."

मुझे ऐसा लगता है कि जो लोग किसी भी बात को साबित करने के लिए बिना किसी तर्क की तलाश किए केवल अधिकार के दम पर भरोसा करते हैं, वे मूर्खतापूर्ण हरकत करते हैं। मैं बिना किसी चापलूusi के, खुलकर सवाल पूछना और खुलकर जवाब देना चाहता हूँ। जो लोग सच्चाई की तलाश में ईमानदार हैं, उनके लिए यह बात बहुत शोभा देती है।

It appears to me that those who rely simply on the weight of authority to prove any assertion, without searching out the arguments to support it, act absurdly.
