Man is a means and not an end, and he is a means to economic or political ends which are not really ends in themselves but means to other ends which in their turn are means and so ad infinitum.

  • -- Christopher Dawson 克里斯多夫·道森

人是一种手段而不是目的,他是达到经济或政治目的的一种手段,而经济或政治目的本身并不是真正的目的,而是达到其他目的的手段,而这些目的反过来又是手段,如此无穷。
