Chapter 533 Admiration
“Logic includes linguistic logic and mathematical logic. It has existed since the introduction of Buddhism’s theory of enlightenment to China in the Han Dynasty. Linguistic logic is everywhere in China’s vast traditional books;”
“When ancient ministers had political conflicts, they had to write memorials to persuade the emperor to adopt their own point of view. If there was no How can we judge if there is language logic? "
" Ancient China even developed two specialists in language logic - political experts and famous experts. "
"And mathematical logic, in the Song Dynasty. , mathematics has developed to the level of number theory and the concept of matrices. Without the support of mathematical logic, it is like a high tower standing on the top of a sand dune. Is this possible? ”
"However, due to the inconvenience of expression, in ancient Chinese institutions of higher learning, the textbooks themselves mostly recorded questions and results, and the derivation process was mainly taught orally and was not reflected in the textbooks."
" It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the first A method of recording the deduction process is called 'Suancao'."
"If we compare modern Western mathematics and logic with ancient Chinese mathematics and logic, it would be an unfair joke. Can be compared with ancient Chinese mathematics and logic , which was a similar subject in ancient Greece that was widely translated and adopted by the West during the Renaissance. "
"As for the concept of philosophy, it is even more ridiculous. I can only say that there is indeed no Western philosophy in China. But I can also solve the same problem in reverse To put it simply, the West also does not have our Eastern philosophy.”
“The funniest joke I have ever heard is to separate ethics from philosophy, and then make fun of the fact that the East only has ethics. So something.”
"What is philosophy? Philosophy is the collection of methodologies for human beings to understand the world. It is the study of thinking that understands the world and oneself. Going further, it is the study of thinking that solves thinking."
"Then do you have any Have you ever thought about it, what is its purpose? Or if it has a purpose, what is its most likely purpose?"
Fu Xia shook her head.
"Do you think it will improve the material and spiritual levels of human beings individually and as a whole?" Zhou Zhi asked: "Or, can it solve this problem?"
Fu Xia again nodded.
Zhou Zhi smiled: "If you think about the meaning of the existence of philosophy from this perspective, then ethics should not be listed separately from philosophy."
"Or to put it another way, that is ethics. It is the pearl at the top of the philosophy pyramid and the ultimate knowledge of philosophy."
"The three questions of philosophy are what philosophers want to solve. The question: Who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go? "
"And the question that ethics wants to solve can also be expressed in this way - that is: who are we, what are we? Where do we come from and where do we go? ”
“What it ultimately wants to solve is the problem of the moral unity of all mankind.”
“As we are today, instead of being committed to resolving conflicts and contradictions in all human society, we are not anxious about the stagnation of ethics for thousands of years, and we do not feel fear and shame when facing the sages. Philosophy is kicked away, and we are complacent in dealing with problems in a deceptive way. Isn’t it ridiculous and ridiculous to take the lack of ethics in Eastern philosophy as a matter of course?”
“The most direct thing I like about Eastern philosophy is that in the classics of Western philosophers, Lack of a sense of compassion found in the classics of Eastern philosophers."
"They again. Studying people as an object, a kind of data, rather than as a kind of living thing. What I want to ask is, is this way of studying correct or wrong? ”
“Therefore. I think, for many questions, we might as well learn from the East in terms of ideas, or it may be easier to find answers. "There's another funny thing. Of course, it's not about you, but about ourselves." Zhou Zhi laughed: "Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, when we began to save our country, we have been tirelessly looking for the reasons why China has lagged behind the West for hundreds of years." , and gave various explanations.”
"But we can't generalize, right? Since we have been so serious about looking for the reasons why we have fallen behind for hundreds of years, why not just dig deeper and find out the reasons why we have led the world for thousands of years. Find them out together?”
“Can we learn from and emulate the reasons that once led us to catch up with the development of the world again? What about taking the lead again?"
"My parents must like you very much." Fu Xia nodded seriously: "No wonder you were able to write "Sichuan Taste of Fun", you did it carefully and independently. After researching and thinking, I gained real confidence after making comparisons.”
The two of them were chatting in English. Jiang Shuyi couldn’t translate some of the words in it, but he could guess the general meaning of Zhou Zhi’s words. .
Everyone was surprised by Zhou Zhi's English proficiency, but Jiang Shuyi was secretly surprised by the maturity of Zhou Zhi's thinking.
When Zhou Zhi gets along with his friends, he never talks about these things with everyone. He mostly just goes along with the crowd. Apart from studying, he just does whatever it takes to have fun, take everyone on trips, and make delicious food. Watching movies, singing...
Most of the chat content was that so-and-so had released a new song. The movie was quite good. Except for occasionally leaking similar things in the novel manuscript I prepared, I rarely listened to it before. to something similar.
Nowadays, Chinese people still have a lot of admiration for foreigners. It is surprising enough to have a young man who can talk eloquently in front of foreigners. As a result, the content of this young man’s conversation with foreigners is so profound. The addition of the foreigner's stunned expression made everyone admire Zhou Zhi even more.
Fu Xia was really shocked: "My mother told me what you said..."
"Which sentence?" Zhou Zhi has said a lot until now, I don’t know what Fu Xia is referring to.
"My mother said that she was attracted to Eastern culture because there is a sense of compassion in the discussions of Eastern thinkers, which is something that is lacking in Western discussions."
"She was talking about Buddhism. Right?" Zhou Zhi felt funny: "Didn't you say she is an expert in Indian culture?"
"That's not entirely true..." Fu Xia continued, and Zhou Zhi's BP machine rang.
This was the first time Zhou Zhi received a message from the BP machine. When he went downstairs to look for the phone, he found Jiang Wu waving to him: "What are you looking for? Over here!"
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Wu, this is wrong. You might as well let me call you back and get over my addiction to playing with my pager."
"Hahahaha..." Jiang Wu couldn't help but laugh: "Don't tell me, when I first got on this thing, I wished it would ring once every five minutes."
After speaking, he sighed: "But now, I wish I could ring this thing. The thing is broken! "
"Hahahaha..." It was Zhou Zhi's turn to laugh: "Would you like to go up and order two more dishes and two drinks? "
