In Memory of H. A. SIMON
( A mail to Learning Organization Forum on Learning and Teaching Styles )
Last weekend I read The Economist 'Obituary' on Herbert Simon（1916-2001）.
http://www.economist.com/
(please help us to locate as many information as possible.)
I started to write my own series of appreciation for this great learner, scientist and educator. One theme we discussed several years ago is about this subject. If you like to read his Models of My Life (MoML) and Sciences of the Artificial (SoA), there are plenty insights on this important subject.
For example, I quoted his "In the Afterword I reflect on the methods I have used in my research...if permitted, I will stay at this pleasurable, exciting work a while longer."( MoML, please also see his learning and teaching journey.)
He defines the 'style' in SoA, together with Marshall's Economics textbook and so on.
It is difficult to tell the nuance of this subject but you might like to read his quote of Paul Valery's Instants( ...As one speaks to the closest one.) in MoML.
I didn't meet Herb but we knew our own learning styles through emails partially at least.
Herb knows Chinese and we know the meaning of 'history' , Words, Deeds, and Worth of an evergreen life and his theories in sciences.

3月16日回永和，接到卡耐基-梅隆大學(CMU)校長室（
原 來是該校校長室和董事會（Boards of Trustee）邀請我參加3月18日的紀念會的；

Dear Herb,
I received the snail mail of your University's invitation to a tribute to you on March 19, 2001. I appreciate your home-made stories of your learningorganizations.
I know that day will come when, Simon's University starts to learn and teach professionally about Administrative Behavior, the Sciences of the Artificial and complex information processing and when, your different versions of Models
without 'revisions' any more and when, your Navigations without maps really sailed to the sun and when, the water mixes with oil with 'smiles' finally when, the learning CMU and HAS's friends no more 'papers' generation, no more biased random walks, no more transformations of English Alexander Pope to Chinese Pope Alexander, no more reflections on 'bounded rationality' in Human Affairs and Cognition with love, no more Foreign Places and Languages never experienced, no more De Gustibus est Disputandum humor.
Someday we'll meet in Cosmos Club somewhere and I interview with your sharpest needle in the Haystack, we might agree that we had our satificed lives.

我翻譯人工科學時，請教Simon 這句話 de gustibus
接下來，發現許多經濟學名家都有這方面的論文。

文學因緣. Author, 梁實秋. Publisher, 愛眉文藝出版社, 1970.
出版者傳記文學出版社, 1988 頁數149 頁
此書內容豐富 26篇 可惜各篇多無發表日期等資料
書名取自白居易與元九書一句:"自敘為文因緣 與年月之遠近也" (可惜此書類似章學誠力主: 立言者文章應附年月 自己的文章卻多缺年月)
末3篇篇名
胡適之先生論詩 283
這篇多根據嘗試集相關的論作
其實 胡適之先生談詩的文很多應該全錄一番
豈只是贊揚"具體".......: 包括提倡"達"之外更重要的"真" (他有特定的意思)....
文末 提出"美未易賞" 說法 也講到西方學術中關鍵語
de gustibus non est disputandum There is no disputing about tastes.講到品味 那是無法爭辯的

Models of My Life By H. A. SIMON的簡體字版將Pope (Alexander Pope) 翻譯成"教皇"。
Author and satirist Alexander Pope was born on May 21st 1688. Even while he lived, casts of his bust were the most often reproduced and purchased by the great families of the day—outnumbering those of Shakespeare or any of the Greek poets
