《孙子兵法》的科学价值及为将之道
《孙子兵法》可谓是世界历史上的一本千古奇书。之所以称之为千古奇书,一是奇在跨越两千五百多年历史时空,仍然富有生命力,被一代又一代人青睐。二是奇在 不到六千字的篇幅,却能够蕴含方方面面的谋略智慧,指导一代又一代的兵家战将导演了一幕又一幕的战争活剧,至今仍然闪烁着智慧的光芒。三是奇在两千多年 来,不仅军人奉之为“兵家宝典”,认真研读,而且政治家、外交家、企业家,甚至体育运动的教练员,开拓市场的营销员,都将其视为“智慧宝库”,从中寻求制 胜的启迪。这本神奇的小册子究竟是怎样一本兵书?有什么科学价值?我们怎样学习它?从中学些什么有用的东西呢?今天我就着重讲讲这四个问题。
