Chapter 371: Is Our World Real?

There is no philosophy in China.

This statement is obviously wrong, but compared to Western philosophy, Chinese philosophy is not very systematic and not very clear.

Because Chinese philosophy tends to focus on what people are, not what people have.

Because of this fixed thinking formed from the beginning, the Chinese did not pay attention to the natural application of knowledge from the beginning.

Later, Feng Youlan's "History of Chinese Philosophy" pointed out that apart from science, epistemology, methodology and logic are almost rare in the history of Chinese philosophy, and even if there are, their status is not high.

……

Some people say that "Sophie's World" is a philosophical enlightenment book that can open the door to the world of philosophy and popularize the knowledge of the history of philosophy.

But this is not the case, the content of the history of philosophy in this book is nothing more than a bridge, a tool, and it is entirely for the purpose of the story, even if most of the knowledge of the history of philosophy is removed, the story itself is a philosophical content that can lead people to think about life.

In other words, even if you look at the book as a fantasy book and peel back its coat, you can still feel the philosophical reflections of the story.

Since Zhang He bought this book in the morning and returned home, he has been holding the book and reading it, and he has hardly stopped in between. In addition to pouring myself a few glasses of water and eating a bag of bread.

Finally, when it was almost dark, he let out a long sigh of relief and closed the book "Sophie's World".

It is not an easy task to read a book of four or five hundred thousand words in one sitting. He had the urge to read it again, because there was a lot of knowledge about the history of philosophy in the book that he didn't have time to think about in detail.

However, he felt the sourness of his eyes, so he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes for a while before opening them.

The plot of "Sophie's World" came to mind, and he still wanted to be surprised by Zhuang Yan's idea.

This is a very peculiar book, especially when he saw Chen Ying appear in the middle, he seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water from the top of his head.

Surprise - this was Zhang He's first reaction.

After watching it for so long, he had been brought into the study of the history of philosophy by Sophie and her teacher Ai Lan, and he was about to forget to explore the name of Chen Ying, which often appeared in the book, when suddenly, Chen Ying came out.

Then tell you that in fact, Sophie and they are just characters in a book, and the previous plot is also in that book - Chen Ying's father.

And that book is also called "Sophie's World", in which Zhuang Yan's name is also an easter egg. It's just that Zhang He is a little curious, why Zhuang Yan's daughter is called Chen Ying.

Maybe it's just Zhuang Yan's prank, and he didn't consider the logic in the middle at all.

But this kind of accident, this kind of jumping scene, just fits what this book wants to express.

In his book, Zhuang Yan asked "himself" to write a book "Sophie's World" in the book, and in that Sophie's world, a copy of "Sophie's World" also appeared.

The relationship is complex enough, but it is not difficult to understand, Zhang He is amazed by the ingenuity of the story structure, and at the same time feels that he has accepted too many things in his mind, and some are not clear.

He did not deliberately pay attention to the discussion of philosophy in the book, but he was unconsciously brought into philosophical thinking by the story.

……

Is Our World Real?"

Fifteen hours after "Sophie's World" was officially sold in major bookstores, an article suddenly went viral on the Internet.

"Is our world imaginary? I've thought about it before today, but never before have I felt it so strongly as this time.

Is our world fictional? If our world is fictional, then do we still exist? Maybe it's 'Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou', and we are actually a strand of ......hair in that butterfly's dream."

This article was posted by Zhang He, who is a well-known cultural critic himself, and in addition to commenting on various books, he sometimes does some film reviews and the like.

After reading "Sophie's World", he wrote his feelings about reading the book into a 5,000-word review and posted it online.

The reason why he finished reading "Sophie's World" so quickly is that on the one hand, he is indeed a fan of Zhuang Yan, and on the other hand, he also wants to send out his comments as quickly as possible.

This article quickly sparked discussions among netizens, and although many people haven't even read the book yet, it doesn't prevent them from coming over to join in the fun.

[What is the new book, how can it make Brother He's question life. 】

[Brother He's so literate, I sometimes think about this kind of thing, but I just don't know how to express it. 】

[Hahaha, I also had a brain hole, thinking that in fact, my current life is just my memories in the future. 】

[This statement upstairs is a bit scary, think about it, we may only exist in a certain memory fragment.] 】

[Secretly, I tell you that you are all fake, and you are just a dream from my lunch break. 】

[Upstairs Saigao, it turns out that I look so ugly, it's all up to you, please dream me better. 】

[You are all wrong, in fact, time is not fluid, time is there, there is no beginning, no end, no front, no rear, every point in time exists, we are discussing this issue at this time, maybe ten years later, we will exist at the same time. 】

[Fatalism, how sad is this, so to speak, my fate is not up to me, it is all set?]

The building slowly crooked, and netizens began to diverge their thinking to discuss life, of course, these belong to the category of philosophy.

As time went on, other cultural commentators were not far behind and posted their own comments. Every reviewer wants to avoid other people's points of view and find other good entry points.

Some people talk about things from the structure of the story, some people start from the philosophical theories mentioned in the book, and some people are even more tricky, and they want to explore the story of Zhuang Yan's heart in such a book.

This person even specifically mentioned that Zhuang Yan wrote himself into the book and arranged a daughter for himself, especially this daughter's surname is Chen, does it mean that Zhuang Yan actually has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend is actually surnamed Chen.

Among these comments, there are two more popular, one is Zhang He's one, because it was the first to be posted and it was more profound, so it caused more comments. And the other is the gossip version of the comment in the back, everyone has a peeping mentality, and after the film critic said it, many people have discussed Zhuang Yan's private life.

Only now did they think that Zhuang Yan was also a handsome young man in his twenties, and he should also have the emotional life of ordinary people, and what was written in the book was not a hint of life?
