读《孙子兵法》对生活在和平年代的现代人的意义在于其体现的思想精髓不光可以运用于企业事业工商管理之中,也可以运用于日常工作生活之中。
《孙子兵法》虽是兵书,但思想却在和平年代也是历久弥新。它把和平解决争端列为最高明的计策:"故上兵伐谋,其次伐交,其次伐兵,其下攻城。"它还推崇只打有准备的仗,而且只有准备到可以不被战胜的程度才能打仗:"昔之善战者,先为不可胜,以待敌之可胜。不可胜在己,可胜在敌。故善战者,能为不可胜,不能使敌之可胜。故曰:胜可知,而不可为。"如此美言妙语,《孙子兵法》中处处皆是。所以竹和松出版社现在出版《孙子兵法》,既是为了传播中华文明,又是为了推荐给现代人一本可解决日常生活问题及疑惑的好书。
