The thoughts of those greatest thinkers still make impact on people even after their death. However, when he alive, most of their thoughts can hardly be accepted by commen people. it is not a tragedy, because it is hard to ask people outside his fields to understand his enduring study. In some aspect, the statement that most societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them, is reasonbale.society,governed by a few aristocrat, is normally multiculture in the modern age. People are differently educated according their gift and grade. However, the greatest thinkers, who are knowledgeable, can see a much more broaden sight than commen people. Their integrated thoughts are more complicated than the fragment most people understanded. how can people understand the great thought without basic education? it seems difficult for them to accept.One of the greatest thinker of Germany in eighteen centry is Kant. He open a new door for the development of philosophy. However, at that age of religion still control the society, few people can understand his three famous book of critique: the critique of pure ration, the critique of pure practice and critique of pure aesthetic. When he alive, his thought was inhibited by people in charge but loyal to their religion. never mention the common people who are lack of education and suffer from the war.To greatest thinker itself, some of their thoughts are flash of inspiration.their thoughts are too deep for those common people. The founder of gametheory, John Nath, when he distrubuted his thought to others, even those who were good at mathematics can hardly understand his discovery. Even after his thoughts is accepted by the academy, when news paper had a report on this thinker.  People rarely read his books. Because his work is too hard for most people to take seriously. common people can only read some introduction.Maybe a greatest thinker should never be taken seriously. When they are taken seriously, they may be distorted by the fame. Some scholars, who used to be at the peak of his field, are busy in wasting his time on Talk Show. The talk show of course can give him a fame, but when some of them have a little fame, they are too fenetic at others' compliances, which contributed nothing on the deep thought. They just know about scholar, but not really understand him.In sum, I considered that in some aspect, the statement that most societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them, is partly right.
