Chapter 12: The Absolute Spirit

The definition of Western philosophy is very vague, and it is generally defined between "love and wisdom", which defines a broad proposition for Western philosophy, giving thinkers unlimited imagination space, let your thoughts gallop on this vast land, and let your thoughts be uncontrollab. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It is not difficult to understand why Western culture can form a force to march into the world.

On the other hand, the definition of traditional Chinese science is very clear, narrowly defining the scope of science, clearly defining science between "heaven and benevolence", narrowly limiting the scope of science, and looking at the monarchs of the entire feudal dynasty when formulating the country's major policies, they only revolve around Confucianism, narrowly limit themselves to the scope of science thought, dare not take a step in the cage, and completely put the political ecology of the feudal dynasty on an established track to advance towards the established goal.

Most of the thinkers in Western countries do not have the identity of politicians, and the ideas of politicians often cannot influence the political process, and the ideas of thinkers are also vague and open concepts in influencing the political process, and do not have the power to directly influence the political process.

However, in ancient China, thinkers and politicians were often confused, which is enough to show that the "unity of heaven and man" in ancient China is a kind of ideological synthesis that is narrow on the outside and loose on the inside.

Why don't Westerners advocate excessive influence of philosophical thought on the political process, because when politicians and thinkers merge, the consequences are Hitler's political processes.

When politicians and thinkers merge, the signal to humanity is that it is either good or bad. Because, if a person is both a politician and a thinker, when this person's will sways the whole people, then the people of the country will suffer, because the thinker's thoughts are forward-looking and **** If a person is both a thinker and a politician, and holds the power to decide the fate of the majority of people, then the ideological movement launched by this thinker is bound to lead the people into his ideological kingdom, and then leads to all people will enter an empty world, under the advocacy of his own thoughts, the expansion of the consciousness of the whole people is formed, resulting in a huge utopian space that is detached from reality, the empty atmosphere is warm and active, and people muster up 10,000 times the courage to march towards a utopian goal, which is unstoppable, and there is no power to stop the development of this situation, and finally everyone falls into this utopian world together, one is prosperous, one is burned。

Therefore, the most brilliant thinker should not have power in his hands in any case, such as Hitler. Nor can a real politician have a rich world of ideas, like Washington.

It can be seen from this that philosophical theory is not a political trend of thought, and philosophy does not have the external conditions to directly affect the political process, and the real intention of philosophy is still to summarize historical experience and verify current experience, and to organize the fragments of cultural memory into a complete crystallization of "love and wisdom", which is used to guide people's actions and only play the role of guiding light.

Therefore, when the material foundation is placed at the forefront of thinking, people's behavior will have the thinking of being put to death and then reborn, and when dealing with emergencies, the spirit of not being afraid of death will be produced in an instant, and the consequences are often unsatisfactory tragedies.

Therefore, the Chinese cannot define philosophical research within a certain scope of thought, suppressively regulate the development process of philosophical thought, and then lead to the development of philosophical thought, and eventually return to the development path of traditional Chinese science, which in turn leads to the loss of philosophical luster, cannot play the role of guiding light, and finally goes to death.

Although the American philosopher Tilly's History of Western Philosophy mentions socialist philosophers before Marx like Owen, there is no mention of Marx (Tilly's History of Western Philosophy is written from ancient Greek philosophy to American positivist philosophy, and the time span includes Marx). Although Russell's History of Western Philosophy mentions Marx, he says that he speaks of Marx because Marx was a philosopher who had a great influence on Western philosophy. Moreover, the "scholastic" stage of Western philosophy often included a group of Arab philosophers. Therefore, in Western philosophy, "West" is widely regarded as referring not only to the geographical "West (Western Europe)" but also to the cultural "West" with "speculative" characteristics. This passage comes from the Internet, and I don't think so.

It is true that Western philosophy takes "scholasticism" as the starting point, forming the philosophical ideas of theists to preach to the people in the name of God, and the nature of this method of thinking comes from the spirit of idealism, because theists are spiritually supreme, which forms the foundation of Western philosophy is rooted in the foundation of idealism.

Chinese science is a study deduced through the principles of the Book of Changes, which is the natural experience summarized by the Chinese along the Yellow River Basin who observe the sky at night and the wind and rain during the day, which is attributed to the scope of wisdom and belongs to the category of materialism, so it is said that all the learning derived from the Book of Changes belongs to the category of materialism, the most representative of which is Chinese Confucianism and Taoism.

Very seriously speaking, Confucianism and Taoism are both atheists, and their ideological methods focus on summarizing natural experience, and put the summary of experience in the development of things at the forefront of the theoretical framework and in the first place, because the principle of the I Ching is the study of decomposing the laws of nature and the summary of the laws of natural destiny. Since ancient times, the Chinese have not held a firm stance on theism, and this kind of thinking comes from Confucianism and Taoism.

In the hearts of the Chinese, the highest god is "God", but God is not an abstract concept, in the hearts of Chinese, God is very concrete, he is the person who lives in the sky, the emperor who governs the heavenly realm, and he rules the people with "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" like the emperor of the earthly realm.

There is no specific God in the hearts of Chinese, unlike Buddhism and Christianity, which have their own very clear gods. The Chinese are pantheists, and in his mind there are countless gods that are very general but so specific that you can't define their existence. For example, the God of Wealth, the god of wealth comes from people's psychological expectations, and the statue of the God of Wealth comes from the very specific psychological goals of the Chinese, hoping to manage the family and make wealth. Therefore, these gods are all from ancient Chinese exemplary figures, such as the gods of literature and wealth, such as Li Yizu, Fan Li, and Bigan. Guan Yunchang, the god of martial arts. This is also Chinese different regional cultures and beliefs, such as the southern coastal areas of the people believe in the god of martial arts and wealth Guan Yunchang, while the northerners mostly believe in the gods of literature and wealth Li Yizu, Fan Li, Bigan.

Another example is Monkey King, the god form of Monkey King comes from people's psychological expectations, and the statue of Monkey King comes from the very specific psychological goals of the Chinese, from the desire for freedom in the hearts of the Chinese, so the Chinese imagine the Monkey King as a god who has "Tao" to express their feelings of longing for freedom.

Another example is the god in the sense of God, these gods are not the category of "gods" defined by Westerners, these gods are very specific, each god has a corresponding human goal, strictly speaking, the "god" in the hearts of Chinese is not the spiritual world that idealists think, but should belong to the scope of materialist thinking. It can only be that Hegel is talking about "primitive reason", just "thought".

Starting from the foundation of traditional Chinese science, traditional Chinese science is a completely pure materialist science.

It can be seen from this that traditional Chinese philosophy violates the basic principles of philosophy, and there is a fundamental problem in the preposition of materialism and idealism, and the resulting result is that Western philosophy and Eastern philosophy are essentially two completely different forms, two concepts, two methods of thought and two lines of thought. In the end, the worldview and values of the East and the West are completely different.

The answer has already been given by the actual existence, because of the problem of the root of thought, the traditional Chinese science could not get rid of the shackles of naturalism and raised the thought of science to the height of philosophy, and finally lost the favor of political ecology, was expelled from the metaphysical ecological environment, and fell to the lower class of the people, unable to continue to play its due role as a kind of learning.

However, because of its fundamental nature and conforming to the rational return of human civilization, Western philosophy naturally marched towards world civilization and became the biggest winner of the world's literary and philosophical thought, expanding to the world.

On the other hand, traditional Chinese science has Chinese been questioned everywhere in international rules due to the lack of "ideas" on the way to "return to rationality".

The root of this is that Chinese are influenced by traditional Chinese science, talk about "morality" everywhere but do not look for "rational" answers, and kidnap each other with morality everywhere, while others use rules to restrict your moral standards from reason, resulting in a conflict between culture and values, and the final result is not a satisfactory answer for Chinese.

In fact, due to the particularity of Chinese characters, what is materialism and what is idealism is clear in Chinese, not as abstract as Greek and English, such as morality, heavenly reason, battle, wisdom, etc., these terms can be seen at a glance to belong to the scope of materialism, why? Because all words that meet the constituent elements of materialism and idealism can see at a glance what belongs to the scope of materialism and what belongs to the scope of idealism.

For example, morality, this term can be seen at a glance to belong to the scope of materialism, because the material basis of the word "Tao", Dao, is the road, the channel, the meaning of the way of heaven, is a fixed material basis or material conditions, material elements, and the word "virtue" is the virtual world, subordinate to the psychological reaction, to the scope of consciousness; then the combination of these two words, needless to say, naturally belongs to the scope of materialism, because your material elements come first, and your mental activities come last, then it must be a materialist thing. But if you combine moral sentiment with moral concepts, as well as moral cultivation, moral bottom line, and other noun terms, then the result is different.

For example, moral concepts and moral sentiments are not in the same range. Moral sentiment belongs to the scope of idealism, and moral concepts, moral cultivation, and moral bottom line belong to the scope of materialism, because concepts, cultivation, and bottom lines are all material conditions, needless to say, nature is the scope of materialism, and sentiment is obviously the scope of idealism.

For example, sentiment, philosophy, thought, spirit, spirit, spirit, soul, love, and so on can be seen at a glance to fall within the scope of idealism, because the constituent elements of these words meet the constituent requirements of idealism, such as sentiment, what is emotion? Sentiment is mental activity, and exercise is the behavioral element, and the combination of these two words is needless to say that it is the scope of idealism.

For example, love, what is love? love with heart, love is a mental activity, what is love? love is a material element, and love also has a psychological reaction, but in Chinese characters, love is more in the meaning of the reaction scene, so it is not difficult for you to understand that this term clearly constitutes the composition principle of idealism, and it must fall into the scope of idealism.

Another example is "love", love must be with the heart, it must be an idealistic thing, and everything that comes first in mental activity and material conditions in the back is an idealistic thing.

Another example is philosophy, what is philosophy? Philosophy is the form of debate, the sound that comes out of the mouth from the bottom of the heart, should be attributed to the consequences of psychological reactions, and "learning" is a dynamic scene, attributed to material conditions, and this constitutes the constitutive element of idealism. However, "philosophy" is the form of debate and constitutes the constituent elements of materialism, so philosophy is the scope of materialism. The composition principle of philosophy, Westerners classify philosophy into the category of "love and wisdom", "love" needless to say is an idealistic thing, "wisdom" is a materialist thing, because "wisdom" is a material requirement, "wisdom" from the heart, belongs to the mental activity, the combination of these two words forms a complete materialist composition principle, naturally belongs to the scope of materialism, then we can easily understand. What is philosophy? Philosophy is the study of materialism and idealism combined, and the concept that rises to the metaphysical level is what Hegel said: "The highest purpose of philosophy is to confirm the unity of thought and experience, and to achieve the reconciliation between conscious reason and reason existing in things, that is, to achieve the reconciliation between reason and reality." It is "the unity of thought and experience", which is the original meaning of philosophy.

The highest goal of philosophy is the unity of thought and experience, that is, the "unity of heaven and man" of Chinese science, the key problem is that Westerners put thought, concept, consciousness, will, love and other idealistic things in the first place to understand the original meaning of philosophy, while the traditional science of Chinese puts heavenly reason, morality, etiquette, wisdom and other materialistic things in the first place to understand the original meaning of science. This very clearly defines the worldview and values of Eastern science and Western philosophy, and then forms different cultural trends in the East and the West.

Then it is very necessary for us to understand why Hegel's philosophy suddenly added an "Absolute Spirit" after the three views of the world, and what is the origin and real theoretical meaning of this "Absolute Spirit" added later?

We understand the meaning of "absolute" in Chinese characters very well, but what is the meaning of "absolute" in Western characters is that many Chinese cannot know, only from the spirit of "absolute" in Chinese, "absolute" in Chinese is unconditional; Accept a certain reality without any restrictions, a certain must exist, so it is a certainty; Definitely.

From this, it is not difficult to understand that the true meaning of "absolute spirit" is the inevitability of the existence of "spirit", and you must unconditionally accept this fact and affirm the absolute reality of "spirit" without any restrictions.

The "absolute spirit" is the last period of human civilization that transcends the subjective spirit and the objective spirit, and it is the mental state of being reborn after death.

To put it simply, it is the highest stage of the yin-yang contract in Chinese science, if you use an elegant metaphor, it is like the moment when a perfect picture is finally revealed, the moment when a song is perfectly sung by the singer to everyone, and the most vulgar and easiest metaphor for you to remember, that is, when a man and a woman have yin and yang intercourse to the peak, this moment is the "absolute spirit" The most perfect embodiment, because this moment is the high degree of unity of thinking and existence, and the final submersion of material conditions, and the latest beginning stage of new things, is the beginning of human civilization, human existence, human philosophy, without this moment, human beings cease to exist, world civilization can not be produced, no one, how to live and die, no one, how to absolute spirit, this is the core value of "absolute spirit".

Hegel's definition of philosophy is an affirmation of Socratic philosophy, and it is also a definitive definition of Western philosophy, which sets the tone of Hegel's philosophy for modern Western philosophy.

Today, no matter how much the gravediggers denigrate Hegel's philosophical theories after his death, there is always a wall that you cannot overcome, and that is the theory of "absolute spirit", because Hegel saw the rebirth stage of the development of things, and the gravediggers could not reach this height because they were limited by the principles of thought. For all those who denigrate Hegel's philosophy are in the position of being at the height of dualism, and at this height it is difficult to cross the ideological height of the theory of "absolute spirit". However, dualists are not absolutely unable to transcend the height of "becoming four", as long as those who hold dualistic thinking can accept the fact of "ending in five", they can go beyond "forming in four" and enter the speculative height of "ending in five", and the starting point of "ending in five" is just the platform of dualism.

Now the question arises, because of the influence of the Chinese "Book of Changes", Oriental science does not allow the existence of the same "absolute spirit" at its root, how can it accept the sublimation of "unity in two" to the height of "unity in five"?

This requires us to systematically understand what "knot in five" is.
