Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 532 Admiration
"Logic includes linguistic logic and mathematical logic. It has existed since the introduction of Buddhism in the Han Dynasty to China. Linguistic logic is everywhere in China's vast traditional books;"

"In the event of political conflicts in ancient times, the ministers had to persuade the emperor to adopt their own point of view by writing memorials. If there is no language logic, how can we judge?"

"In ancient China, two specialists in language logic were even developed—strategists and masters."

"As for mathematical logic, in the Song Dynasty, mathematics had already developed to number theory and the concept close to the matrix. Without the support of mathematical logic, it is like a tower standing on the top of a sand dune. Is this possible?"

"However, due to the inconvenience of expression, in mathematics in ancient Chinese institutions of higher learning, the textbooks themselves mostly recorded the questions and results, and the derivation process was mainly taught through oral teaching, which was not reflected in the textbooks."

"It wasn't until the Southern Song Dynasty that the first set of methods for recording the deduction process appeared, called 'counting grass'."

"If modern Western mathematics and logic are used to benchmark ancient Chinese mathematics and logic, it is an unfair joke in itself. It is about the time of the Renaissance that Western mathematics and logic can be compared with ancient Chinese mathematics and logic. An ancient Greek analogue adopted in much translation."

"As for the concept of philosophy, it is even more ridiculous. I can only say that China does not have Western-style philosophy, but I can also say the same thing in reverse, that is, the West also does not have our Eastern-style philosophy."

"The funniest joke I've ever heard is to single out ethics from philosophy, and then make fun of saying that there is only a little bit of ethics in the East."

"What is philosophy? Philosophy is a collection of methodologies for human beings to understand the world. It is the study of thinking to understand the world and the self, and above all, it is the study of thinking to solve thinking."

"Then have you ever thought about what its purpose is? 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 as a whole?" Zhou Zhi asked, "Or can it solve this problem?"

Fu Xia nodded again.

Zhou Zhi smiled: "If we think about the meaning of philosophy from this perspective, then ethics should not be listed separately from philosophy."

"Or to put it another way, that is ethics, which is the jewel at the top of the philosophical pyramid and the ultimate knowledge of philosophy."

"The three questions of philosophy are the questions that philosophers want to solve: who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?"

"The question that ethics wants to solve can also be expressed in this way—that is: who are we, where do we come from, and where are we going?"

"What it ultimately wants to solve is the moral unity of all human beings."

"As today, instead of being committed to solving the conflicts and contradictions of the entire human society, we are not anxious about the stagnation of ethics for thousands of years, and we are not afraid and ashamed when facing the sages. Isn’t it ridiculous and ridiculous?”

"The most direct thing I like about Eastern philosophy is that Western philosophers lack a kind of compassion in the classics of Eastern philosophers in the classics that explain their thoughts."

"They are studying people as an object, a kind of data, rather than as a kind of life. What I want to ask is, is this way of doing research correct or wrong?"

"So I think, or many questions, you might as well learn from the East in terms of thinking, or it may be easier to find the answer."

"There is another funny thing, of course it's not about you, but about ourselves." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Chinese people have been tirelessly looking for the reason why China lagged behind the West for hundreds of years, and Various explanations have been given."

"But we can't generalize, right? Since we have been so earnestly looking for the reasons why we have been behind for hundreds of years, why not just dig deeper and find out why we have been ahead of the world for thousands of years? Find them together?!"

"Those reasons that made us take the lead in the past, can we learn from and emulate today, so that we can catch up with the development of the world again, and even lead again?!"

"My parents must like you very much." Fu Xia nodded seriously: "No wonder you were able to write "Sichuan Taste", you are truly confident after careful and independent research and thinking, and comparisons. "

The two of them were chatting in English, and Jiang Shuyi couldn't translate some words in it, but they could guess the general meaning of Zhou Zhi's words.

Everyone was surprised by Zhou Zhi's English level, but Jiang Shuyi was secretly surprised by Zhou Zhi's maturity of thought.

When Zhou Zhi gets along with his friends, he never talks about these things with everyone. He is more like following the crowd. Apart from studying, he just wants to have fun, take everyone on trips, and cook delicious food. watching movies, singing...

The content of the chat is mostly who and who has released a new song. The movie is quite good. Except for the occasional leak of similar things in the novel manuscript I prepared, I rarely heard similar things before.

The Chinese nowadays still have a certain admiration for foreigners. It’s amazing enough to have a young man who can talk in front of foreigners. As a result, the content of this young man’s chat with foreigners is so profound, with the bonus of the dumbfounded expression of the little foreigner. , Let everyone admire Zhou Zhi even more.

Fu Xia was indeed shocked: "My mother told me what you said..."

"Which sentence?" Zhou Zhi had said a lot until now, but he didn't know what Fu Xia was referring to.

"My mother said that the reason she was attracted to Eastern culture was because there was a sense of compassion in the discourses of Eastern thinkers, which was lacking in Western discourses."

"She's talking about Buddhism, right?" Zhou Zhi felt amused, "Didn't you say she's an expert on Indian culture?"

"Not all of them..." Fu Xia wanted to continue talking when Zhou Zhi's BP machine rang.

This was the first time Zhou Zhi received a call 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? Here!"

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Wu, you're wrong, at least let me call back to get rid of my addiction to pagers."

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Wu couldn't help laughing: "Don't say it, when I just put this thing on, I wish it would ring once every five minutes."

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "But now, I wish I could smash this thing!"

"Hahahaha..." Now it was Zhou Zhi's turn to laugh: "Do you want to go up and order two more dishes and drinks?"
