"Slow! Please wait a moment, let me try." At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from below the classroom, and then a man who was 1.80 meters tall, wearing a brand-new black Chinese tunic suit with no pleats, a Chinese character face, and big bright eyes
, with that bronze complexion, the young man who gave people a healthy but not simple feeling stood up from his seat, who else could this person be if he wasn't Yu Tian.
Originally, Yu Tian didn't want to stand up to answer the question. At least he wasn't that pushy. But he didn't expect that Bacon would ignore all the people from the East. This completely made Yu Tian intolerable. He had no choice but to volunteer.
He stood up and opened his mouth to Bacon, who was about to go out.
Bacon had long expected that if he stimulated these students so much, some bloody students would stand up to answer his questions, but he did not expect it to be so late. So when he saw Yu Tian standing up, the crutches raised slightly
Still didn't let it go, but just said casually: "Okay, then you answer this classmate first, but you can remember it. If you don't answer well or deal with me randomly, don't blame me for continuing to walk out of this door.
.”
"Of course." After Yu Tian smiled politely at Bacon, he began to answer what philosophy is and what philosophy is.
"What is philosophy? This is a question, a question that is both simple and complex. We say it is simple because it should be the most basic stipulation of the discipline of philosophy. Anyone who studies philosophy must start with this question. If one
It seems ridiculous, funny, and unbelievable for a person who studies or studies philosophy to say that he does not know what philosophy is. However, this is indeed true. We say it is complicated because it is still a problem so far, and
Will probably always be a problem. ”
After a pause, Yu Tian glanced at Bacon's reaction and found that at this time Bacon had changed from an indifferent expression to one that was somewhat focused. For this reason, Yu Tian continued, "In other words, the question "What is philosophy?"
There is no ultimate answer yet. For beginners, the question "What is philosophy?" is easy to solve. Just look through a philosophy dictionary or encyclopedia, although they may not really understand what it says.
But those of us who claim to study philosophy, or who think we know a little bit about philosophy, cannot do this, because it does not solve the questions in our minds. It is unbelievable, and it also makes us feel uncomfortable.
Sadly, although the subject of philosophy has existed for thousands of years, the question "What is philosophy?" has not yet been concluded. Because this question is so big and difficult, even the tome with this title has been
There are countless of them, so we do not want to (actually cannot) solve the question "what is philosophy" here, but just want to treat this question as a question in itself and see what the answer is. "
When Yu Tian said this, the crutch that Bacon raised had obviously fallen down again, and he himself began to look at Yu Tian. Yu Tian's answer seemed to have made Bacon feel.
Let him know that Dongfang Country deserves to be a country full of talented people and a country worthy of the pride of heaven.
However, Yu Tian really didn't think that much. Now that he had already said it, he might as well say everything he wanted to say. For this reason, Yu Tian continued.
"Looking at the question itself, "what is philosophy" can be expressed in two ways: "what is philosophy" and "what is
"Philosophy". On the surface, these two expressions mean the same thing. They are both basic provisions or definitions of philosophy. It seems that whether you put the "what" in the question at the end or at the front, there is no fundamental difference.
The difference. When talking about "what is philosophy" or "what is philosophy" in Western languages, it is actually just a sentence, such as "what is philosophy" in English and "was ist die philosophie" in German. Although when we
When they are translated into Chinese, they can be translated as "what is philosophy" or "what is philosophy", but usually there is no intention to highlight the difference between the two, but in fact there is no difference between these two expressions.
There is a certain difference between the methods, and this difference is not only a problem of the method of translation, but also a problem of the meaning of expression. Don't think that we are playing word games, because different expressions can indeed have different meanings.
"
“……”
"Therefore, the process of learning the history of philosophy is not a passive acceptance of knowledge, but a creative "fusion of horizons," that is, a "dialogue" between our minds and previous philosophers on philosophical issues of common concern.
Process. It is in the process of this ideological dialogue that we proceed from studying "what is philosophy" to further asking "what is philosophy". In short, all those who study and study philosophy should ask these two questions: "Philosophy"
"What is" and "What is philosophy?" Because philosophy exists in this questioning activity."
After saying this, Yu Tian also sat down again.
It wasn't until Yu Tian returned to his seat that Bacon seemed to come back to his senses. Then he took the lead in applauding, followed by nearly a hundred students in the class, as well as dean Lin Changhe and Yu Tian's head teacher Kong Wen.
They all applauded enthusiastically.
Even at this time, Kong Wen was still thinking excitedly, "Hey, when did a person who knew so much about philosophy appear in my class? Oh, I still remember that he asked and borrowed a lot of books before.
, Well, yes, his name seems to be Yu Tian. It seems that I will have more exchanges with him in the future. At the same time, with such a student, I believe Lin Changhe will be impressed by me this time. Hehe, this can also be done.
Explain why Lin Changhelu asked me to answer the question just now, but I didn't answer it. That's because I believe that some of my students can answer it, so why should I, a veteran, be used to take action?"
The most exciting person here is none other than Bacon. He has always solved this question for students from many countries. Even in countries like M, which consider themselves economically developed and civilized to be superior to ordinary people, no students can answer it.
Such a question, but today he did meet a close friend in Dongfang Kingdom and someone who could answer his questions, so he couldn't help but be full of curiosity about this Yu Tian. But it seemed that he wanted to verify that Yu Tian had real talents.
Unexpectedly, he happened to be confused, so he asked Yu Tian another urgent question.
