Chapter 226: Task 2
Recalling the days in the border city for a while, Zhuang Yan returned his attention to Jostein.
By this time, Sophie had already received a third letter, which was not addressed to Sophie, but to a girl named Sid. Of course, Sid is just a Chinese translation, like a boy's name.
And Zhuang Yan heard it clearly, and the pronunciation in Joestein's mouth should be Hilde or Field.
It was a letter from Sid's father to Sid, wishing her a happy birthday.
Sophie didn't know who this Sid was, and she couldn't find this Sid's name after checking the phone book in the town for a long time.
And Zhuang Yan because he has read the original book, of course he knows who this Sid is, she is the daughter of Sophie's master.
That's right, Sid's father is Sophie's master, or rather, he is the master of Sophie's world.
It sounds a little dizzy, but it is true, Sophie, who is just living in Sid's father's consciousness, is nothing more than Sid's father's imagination, and was written into a book by Sid's father and given to Sid.
It also sounds philosophical, and it is true, that this book has been called the enlightenment book of philosophy. Although it is said to be a book, it is essentially a philosophical theory course, which shows readers thousands of years of philosophical history through Albert's philosophical theory lesson on Sophie.
Of course, some people criticize the description of certain philosophical theories in this book as too vague, and even a little biased, thinking that this book cannot be called a philosophical enlightenment book.
Zhuang Yan was a little scoffed when he heard this, because it was ridiculous that these people would treat a detective from the perspective of a philosophical theory class.
That's right, in Zhuang Yan's eyes, this "Sophie's World" is a gripping detective.
From the beginning of the story when Sophie receives three letters, the reader will wonder who sent her these three letters.
The three letters are divided into two threads, two of which were sent to her by a philosophical mentor, and the other was sent to her by Sid's father, the master of this world.
Of course, after reading this book, people will start to think about the meaning of existence with Sophie and Albert.
What is the existence of man, Descartes's I think, therefore I am not real.
This is a bit like Zhuang Zhoumengdie, which is not only a doubt about self-existence, but also an affirmation of self-doubt.
It sounds like a paradox, but philosophy is sometimes full of paradoxes.
And this book is the most demanding book in all Zhuang Yan's dreams, because of two words - philosophy.
However, this book does not have the pretentious and profound meaning of ordinary philosophy books, and the whole book is told in simple terms.
"There is only one condition to be a good philosopher: to be curious. ”
Joestein's narration continues, and he doesn't stop after he finishes talking about "The Garden of Eden", and then he talks about "The Magician's Top Hat" at the end.
This chapter impressed Zhuang Yan very deeply, and Sophie's philosophy teacher extended from the magician's top hat to the rabbit that suddenly appeared in the top hat, and then to the curiosity of humans.
And made a peculiar analogy, he compared the universe to a rabbit, and man is a tiny worm in the rabbit. Newborn children are at the tip of the fur, while the grown-up ones run deep into the fur.
For children, the world is new and magical. But adults feel that the world is nothing more than a matter of course.
"The balance between good and evil. ”
Jostein doesn't seem to think he should stop, and after finishing the second chapter, he moves on to the third chapter, "Mythology".
The picture in the mirror is synchronized with what he said, which makes Joestein's words more like the narration in the movie, the silly kind of narration.
Zhuang Yan tried to make him stop, "Jostan, should we take a break?"
"Why rest?" asked Jostein.
"Because I'm tired. ”
Jostein seemed to understand, nodded and said, "Okay, let's rest for a while." ”
Zhuang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, left the mirror, and walked around Jostein's room, but the unobstructed view of the room did not cause anything else to be added to him when he walked around.
"Don't you have something to drink here, like tea, or coffee?"
Jostein shook his head, "There's only a mirror here, can't you see it?"
Zhuang Yan was a little speechless, of course he could see that there was only a mirror in the whole room.
"Maybe you can conjure something up, because people like you should have some special abilities. Zhuang Yan said.
Jostein didn't seem to quite understand what Zhuang Yan meant, "What is a special ability?"
"Well, when I didn't say it. Zhuang Yan was completely defeated, and the Jostan in front of him had nothing to do with the philosopher.
Jostein was like a piece of wood, and asking him if he didn't know anything made Zhuang Yan sigh again and again, and chatting with him was not as interesting as chatting with Siri.
"You'd better go ahead and tell us what you've found. Zhuang Yan sighed helplessly, because he found it even more boring for them to stop like this.
Jostan's eyes lit up, "Are you rested?"
Zhuang Yan shrugged his shoulders undeniably, "You just need to introduce." ”
He could see that all of Jostan's mind was in Sophie's world.
When they stopped just now, the picture in the mirror also stopped, and now as he continued, the picture in the mirror also moved again.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhuang Yan listened to "Naturalist Philosopher", "Democritus", "Socrates", "Descartes", "Spinoza" and so on, and finally listened to the last "Bang Bang".
As Sid talks to his father, the book finally ends.
"This is simply the most tiring sound I've ever heard!" Zhuang Yan couldn't help but complain.
But he was also relieved that the torturous errand was finally over.
But the expected thing to wake up from the dream did not happen, but after Jostein turned off the mirror and turned it into a mirror again, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Yan, "So, now we have a new task, you need to tell me how you feel after seeing my new discovery, and my task is to listen to all your feelings." ”
"What!" Zhuang Yan staggered, almost fell to the ground, he didn't expect that there was any ghost task, listen to the book, listen to the book, and write a review after reading?
"After reading it, I feel that I can hand it in again next time, I think I'm really tired. Zhuang Yan begged for mercy.
Jostein was unmoved, "This is our task. ”
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but grit his teeth, the task - your uncle!
