Chapter 17: Be flexible at any time

1. Why does it say that there is no objective idealistic thinking in Confucianism and science in China, and it has nothing to do with philosophy?

(1) What is objective idealistic thinking?

Academically speaking, objective idealism is "objective idealism regards objective spirits such as God, ideas, and absolute spirits as the master and origin of the world, and believes that the real material world is only the externalization and manifestation of these objective spirits." "In essence, objective idealistic thinking is to strengthen objective thinking on material rational thinking, believing that objective spirit dominates the thinking method of the rational world, objective idealistic thinking only recognizes that intelligent creatures can have, the higher the wisdom, the stronger the objective idealistic thinking it has, on the contrary, the lower the wisdom, the weaker the objective idealistic thinking it has, or even non-existent.

Now we know that there are four stages of human thinking, namely intuitive thinking, sensory thinking, objective thinking, and absolute thinking.

The so-called logical thinking is the way of thinking that human beings go beyond intuitive thinking, cross sensory thinking, and enter into objective idealistic thinking, and the important means of logical thinking is to stand in the position of objectivity, and use the objective position to analyze, induct, sort, deduce, compare, demonstrate, reason, and experiment with the relationship between things, and prove the objective regularity, correctness, and authenticity of things through logical analysis, and find the rationality of the existence of things.

Let me start with a simple analogy, for example, A has made a thought statement, and in order to achieve the goal of implementing this idea, A naturally does not want B to put forward a different opinion. If B insists on putting forward his own point of view, then who will evaluate the different views of A and B and make a third-party assessment?

The thinking method used by this person who makes the third-party evaluation opinion is the thinking method of objective idealistic thinking. That is, the process of analyzing, inducting, sorting, deducing, comparing, demonstrating, reasoning, and experimenting with the development of things from an objective standpoint. Because I stand in the position of a third party to evaluate the two different positions of A and B, I must hold a third-party objective thinking, which is a kind of psychological judgment from objective understanding, and is a logical process of analysis, induction, sorting, deduction, comparison, argumentation, reasoning, and experimentation, therefore, this kind of psychological judgment can only be done by people with a high degree of intelligence, if I am a low-intelligence, or an imbecile creature, this kind of logical thinking will be very weak, or it does not exist at all, so how can I have a third-party objective position? Because a person with low intelligence, or a creature with low intelligence, is simply not capable of using third-party object thinking.

Therefore, creatures with low intelligence do not need a third party to think objectively, they only need to participate directly, or choose one party to participate, and adhere to the position of one party, even if I have a third party objective idealistic thinking, because of my limited wisdom, I cannot correctly analyze, evaluate, demonstrate, reason, and experiment with the different positions of A and B.

For example, a judge is a logical thinker who must have the objective thinking of a third party to judge the wrongdoing of both parties A and B. If I have limited intellectual qualifications, limited ability to analyze, evaluate, demonstrate, reason, and experiment, how can I externalize the objective spirit to the material world?

In ancient China, judges and officials were confused, and there was no third-party objective thinking, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the government and the people was a simple dualistic structure, even if you were smart and sensitive, you did not have third-party objective thinking. Because the kings of ancient China did not advocate that officials had excessive ability to analyze, evaluate, argue, reason, and experiment. Officials in ancient China only needed to work upwards and downwards.

Therefore, Confucius believed that "the king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal", Mencius believed that "the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the king is light", and Xunzi believed that "the Tao is not from the king, from the righteousness is not from the father, and the great deeds of the people are also", which is the political proposition of Confucianism. Zhu Xi Lixue believes that the principles of heaven have been determined to "learn from things" and "preserve the principles of heaven and destroy people's desires".

Throughout the entire traditional Chinese culture, up and down for 5,000 years, the Chinese have not raised their thinking methods to idealistic logical thinking, and have always been at the interface of dualistic thinking.

On the other hand, philosophy has rejected the influence of natural science on human civilization from the very beginning, taking "wisdom" and "love" as the object of study, and abandoning the original proposition of conforming to nature, which is to emphasize the importance of objective idealistic thinking in human activities.

In this world, only human beings have objective idealistic thinking, because human beings are a species that abandons low-level tastes, and any other species cannot reach the point of having objective idealistic thinking because of the limitations of intelligence. This is also the foundation of Hegel's philosophy, and it is also the foundation of Western multiculturalism.

For example, Voltaire said: "I do not agree with every word you say, but I defend to the death your right to speak." Diderot said: "No one has received from 'nature' the right to dominate men." Freedom is a godsend, and every individual of the same kind has the right to enjoy freedom. Although these two people advocated the protection of the natural rights of man, these methods of thinking were objective idealistic thinking.

(2) There is no third-party objective thinking in Confucian culture and physical thought in ancient Chinese culture

First of all, I solemnly declare that I have no intention of belittling the wisdom of the Chinese, and I believe that the wisdom of any race in the world cannot match the wisdom of the Chinese.

However, there is no third-party objective thinking in Confucian culture and physical thought represented by ancient Chinese culture, or Confucian culture and physical thought in ancient Chinese culture does not agree with the existence of third-party opinions, that is to say, representing the metaphysical ideology of ancient China, people who hold an objective and fair position of analysis, evaluation, argumentation, reasoning, and experimental ability are not allowed to evaluate the different positions of A and B, but resolutely implement the principle of "the monarch makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal", and the unity of heaven and man, and the yin-yang contract "Gewu Zhizhi" The dualistic thinking of "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires" to rule all the Chinese people in ancient times.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Confucian culture and rational thought are the culture of foolish people, and how can the metaphysical people in ancient China not regard ordinary people as wise people at all, so how can they allow objective idealistic thinking to exist?

Ancient Chinese culture developed to the Ming Dynasty, and Confucian culture and physical thought were implemented in the ideological policy of "learning from things" and "preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires", and implemented the dual culture of "the monarch envoys and ministers with courtesy, and the ministers with loyalty", the unity of heaven and man, and the yin and yang contract.

Throughout ancient Chinese history, there was no objective idealist way of thinking at all, and it was completely anti-formal. Flip through the history of all dynasties and see which dynasty and which generation is not pancake-style history. Therefore, Hegel said: There was no history in ancient China.

On the other hand, the philosophical system has this way of thinking at the beginning of its establishment, and it has been comprehensively instilled in Westerners since Socrates, forming a three-in-one pluralistic Western democratic culture.

Theoretically, philosophy is the study of "wisdom and love." In fact, philosophy is an objective idealist method of thinking. Because in this world, all species have "love", "love" is a universal phenomenon, and the "love" of species is a universal natural existence. However, "wisdom" is not universal, "wisdom" comes from the ability to analyze, induct, sort, deduce, compare, argue, reason, and experiment, and comes from inheritance, transmission, and education. Memory is the idealistic activity after observation, while practice is the process of testing the above experience.

That is to say, the behavior of all species needs "wisdom" to complete, and the higher the completion standard, the more perfect the wisdom.

In the same way, the more wisdom you have, the stronger your practical ability will be.

This is also the reason why Westerners require practical experience when choosing judges and limit the upper age limit.

Choose a qualified judge, even if you are knowledgeable, if you are young and have no life experience, you are not qualified to be a judge.

For example, a young man who left school at the age of twenty-four has at least forty-five years of practical experience.

A person who does not have 20 years of experience in social practice can talk about having practical experience.

However, if you have super wisdom and experience enough time, you will inevitably get a wealth of knowledge and practical experience beyond ordinary people, and such a person is truly suitable to be a judge, because you already have a strong ability of objective idealistic thinking, so you can fully apply "analysis, induction, sorting, deduction, comparison, argumentation, reasoning, and experimental ability" when making a judgment to judge right and wrong objectively and fairly.

This is precisely the reason why Westerners pursue objective idealistic thinking methods, and Chinese will only pursue the natural laws of matter due to the influence of yin and yang, talk about the actual world, take materialization as the standard, and have money and energy is everything. Crossing the river by feeling the stones, regardless of age, the one who crosses the river is a hero, so Chinese judges take perfection, sleekness, and ability as the standard, there is no age limit, and you can be a judge at the age of eighteen, as long as you are good in the written test.

"Wisdom" is limited and infinite coexist, for any species, "wisdom" is limited, limited, "knowledge", but "wisdom" is infinite, can be inherited, transmitted, educated and cultivated. This is especially true for human beings, where wisdom needs to exist innate and needs to be inherited, transmitted, educated and cultivated.

The essence of wisdom is a pluralistic structure, an infinite number of multi-level thinking patterns, the mathematical principle is a triangular multilateral conjecture, starting from the material structure is from one, combining with two, and openness starts from the ternary.

The theory of the acquired gossip in "Zhou Yi" has this ideological principle, but because the Chinese are limited by the theory of yin and yang, they have not been able to study this advanced theory and then apply it to metaphysics, resulting in the Chinese being trapped in the strange circle of yin and yang contracts for thousands of years, unable to extricate themselves, unable to sublimate their thoughts into the open trinity of multilateral idealism, and can only be arrogant in the absolute material world.

In the same way, "love" is finite and infinite coexist. Love can exist finitely, or it can be infinitely magnified. Love also comes from experience, memory, and practice between species. However, love requires more experience and practice. Love needs to be cultivated more from the day after tomorrow. Acquired transmission, inheritance, education and cultivation are the only criteria for improving "love".

Second, the 17th hexagram of Zhou Yi, with the hexagram Zelei, with the shock.

The original text of the hexagram

Follow. Yuan Heng, Li Zhen, no blame.

The elephant said: There is thunder in the Ze, follow. The gentleman feasted on obscurity.

Xiang said: Restrained, poor also.

Detention and stopping. Dimension, the car cover system also. "Sayings".

Note: Unbuckle and knot from the entire vehicle. The king is used for the West Mountain smoothly.

This is an ancient Chinese dualistic hexagram that affirmed that officials could do whatever they wanted. From this article, we can also see the evil diseases of ancient Chinese culture, and we can also understand the criticism of ancient Chinese officials for doing whatever they want and changing the unpredictable reasons. With such an odious ideological guidance, how can the officials not be unpredictable and deceive the people?

Here are four sentences to sum up.

Do whatever you want,

Strain random and easy to get right.

Junchen Xishan Datongshun,

Ordinary people are struggling to get by.
