他是这样陈述自己的见解的:“我们的思想,是连续不断的认知组成的演变过程。”

我们的思想,是连续不断的认知组成的演变过程。 Our thoughts are evolving(演变) 【in】 a never ending process of cognitive formation(认知组成).

I'm not really sure what he means with ‘认知组成’, so it is hard for me to translate.

Maybe he means: The things which we are aware of, which we perceive, provoke/cause our thoughts. This process goes on and on.

I would take

“我们的思想,是连续不断的认知组成的演变过程。”

and translate it, roughly, like:

Our thinking, is constituted [组成] by a constantly evolving cognitive [认知] process.

It's not “认知组成” as a set-phrase or even a connected phrase but just two separate words.

Your understanding:

Our thoughts are evolving(演变) 【in】 a never ending process of cognitive formation(认知组成).

absolutely works as well.

  • Thanks! I think I like your translation better than mine. They were talking about David Hume, Heraclitus and 本体的你, 什么是你?
