It is a curious paradox that we think of the physical sciences as “hard”,the social sciences as “soft”,and the biological sciences as somewhere in between.This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical systems is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems,and these in turn are more certain than our knowledge of social systems.In terms of our capacity to sample the relevant universes,however,and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct,one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable.We are able to sample earth’s social systems with some degree of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated.Our knowledge of social systems,therefore,while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate,is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries.Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinary life is based in earning,spending,organizing,marrying,taking part in political activities,fighting and so on,is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived from the social sciences,even though it is built upon the very imperfect samples of personal experience.
In contrast,our image of the astronomical universe,of even of earth’s geological history,can easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data comes in and new theories are worked out.If we define the “security” our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes,then we would reverse the order of hardness and see the social sciences as the most secure,the physical sciences as the least secure,and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between.Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial as compared with the rich records of the social systems,or even the limited records of biological systems.Records of the astronomical universe,despite the fact that we see distant things as they were long ago,are limited in the extreme.
Even in regard to such a close neighbour as the moon,which we have actually visited,theories about its origin and history are extremely different,contradictory,and hard to choose among.Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and highly insecure.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings butshorter tempers,wider freeways,but narrower viewpoints.We spend more,
but have less; we buy more,but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families,more conveniences,
but less time.We have more degrees but less sense,more knowledge,
but less judgment,more experts,yet more problems,more medicine,
but less wellness.
We drink too much,smoke too much,spend too recklessly,laugh too little,
drive too fast,get too angry,stay up too late,get up too tired,read too little,watch TV too much,and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions,
but reduced our values.

It is not a paradox.除了“这并不矛盾”这样的解释以外.
如题.
除了类似“这并不矛盾”的说法......
回答的几位说的和这个意思很接近啊......
还有这不是数学或者逻辑学的书本上出现的句子，是我在网上看到有人回答别人的话的时候出现的，而且这个人说在“生活中”这个单词在这句话中不是"矛盾"之类的意思......难道那个人在骗我？

the issue of privacy versus openness is a paradox, particularly when it comes to the american home. “lots” or “yards” (gardens) can be large and many are not enclosed by the walls, fences or hedges so popular in other cultures. similarly, “window treatments” frame the window. but the use of european-style net curtains to screen out nosy neighbors is rare. in the same style, first-time visitors to an american home may be proudly given the full tour; even walk-in closets and en suite bathrooms are not considered off-limits. they may also be encouraged to help themselves to a soda from the fridge. all this gives an impression of openness. yet americans do value their personal space and privacy. a brazilian expatriate (侨民) who dropped in on her usually friendly connecticut neighbors unannounced got the clear impression she should have called first. similarly while a typical suburban home features large, shared areas, such as an open-plan kitchen and family room or “den”, ample private space is also allowed in the floor plan. a visit to a family home in the evening would likely find the family members dispersed, each independently watching tv, on the phone, surfing the internet, or otherwise recharging batteries in the privacy of their own bedroom. american individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in lifestyle. despite the fact that the average household size has declined over the past thirty years from3.1 people to 2.6 people per household, the average size of a new family home increased during the same period from 1,500 to 2,200 square feet. a common observation is just how outsized everything is. the beds are king-sized, the tvs have giant screens, the burgers are “whoppers (庞然大物),” appliances are “industrial” size. the largest popcorn or soda at the movies can be “supersized.” closets are “walk in,” and some cars are the size of a military vehicle. 小题1:the passage suggests that americans__________. a．are rich enough to afford large size houses and luxurious electricity appliances b．are very shy when talking about keeping their privacy and their personal space c．would like to express their lifestyles in public to show them off d．enjoy openness as well as individualism although they seem to contradict each other 小题2:why can we say that american individualism, expansiveness, and abundance are expressed in their lifestyle? a．because the average size of a new house has increased during the past thirty years. b．because americans often use european-style net curtains to screen out nosy neighbors. c．because many houses are equipped with walk-in closets. d．because the house size, outsized household furniture and independent living habits have proved it. 小题3:the underlined phrase in the passage means________. a．filling a battery with electrical power b．recovering your strength and energy by resting for a while c．changing your batteries again d．obtaining new batteries because old ones are running out 小题4:according to the passage, if you drop in on an american family which is usually friendly to you in the evening, you________. a．will be deeply impressed by their family get-together scene b．will be invited to a *** which is well-prepared c．will find family members scattered, and enjoying themselves individually d．will be warmly welcomed even if they don’t get informed of your visit earlier
