Act 150 The unity of contradictions
"Teacher. Doug asked as he walked up to Principal Woolsey.
Principal Woolsey's face was as serious as a dead wood trunk, and Doug, who saw it, instantly softened, "My child, why is this place on fire?"
"Tom was trying to synthesize a new synthetic dye, but he didn't expect that the newly synthesized dye was very flammable, and he hadn't had time to deal with it, so that's it. Doug explained.
Tom and Doug Chemical Company was founded with the approval of President Woolsey.
Otherwise, the dye workshop would not be within the boundaries of Yale Academy.
"Stay safe. Principal Woolsey kindly said, "Don't hurt yourself. ”
Doug nodded, and Principal Woolsey changed his tone and said to Don in his entourage, "Don, you're in charge of organizing the firefighting. If it can't be extinguished, every effort is made to ensure that it is not affected by the fire. ”
Headmaster Woolsey, pointing to Tom's hut and the dye workshop, drew a circle.
"Yes. Don replied.
"Teacher, this is my paper, please take a look at it. Doug opened his suitcase and took out the papers that had been avoided in a thick pile.
When he closed the suitcase again, it was as if it had become invisible and melted into the environment.
Before he opened it, no one seemed to expect him to be carrying a box except Doug himself.
It seems that this box is Doug's body.
"Let's go back to my office. Principal Woolsey didn't take the paper, turned around and said.
Tom, who was still struggling with whether to be fair with the explosives, Doug had been gone for a while before he raised his head and said strangely, "What about Doug?"
Looking around, he couldn't find Doug.
Looking at the dense fire forest, I thought that the future test must be safer and safer for the environment.
As for the experimenter, for him, it was just a consumable.
They deserve to be happy if they can dedicate their lives to science.
Principal Woolsey's carriage, not much different in comfort compared to Doug's new carriage.
Although Principal Woolsey was not young at this age, he did not feel uncomfortable with the current carriage.
Back in the office, the old man put on his glasses, took the receipt from Doug, shook it, and looked at it.
"Recession and Prosperity: Discussion and Countermeasures of the Economic Cycle"
Principal Woolsey, finished reading the title and continued reading.
In the beginning, President Woolsey learned about Doug through his dissertation.
Principal Woolsey had no worries about Doug's ability to write essays.
If he had any worries about Doug's new paper, it was that he was too attached to the game Monopoly.
It is possible to blow a game that is highly academic and educational.
However, you can't equate a paper with a game.
Fortunately, Doug is obviously clear, and there is no mention of "Monopoly" in the full text, but in the eyes of those who know "Monopoly", it all revolves around Monopoly.
"New policies, such as improving workers' welfare, will harm the interests of the bourgeoisie, such as the factory owners.
If the new policy is not implemented, it will exacerbate the economic crisis, and it will be impossible to maintain the consumption power of the market and develop new markets.
Once the workers go on strike, the interests of the bourgeoisie cannot be maintained.
Therefore, in order to safeguard the interests of the bourgeoisie, it is necessary to first infringe on the interests of the bourgeoisie. ”
Principal Woolsey, reading the passage, clasped his fingers lightly on the table, as if savoring something.
Of course, he understood the literal meaning of this passage, but he saw something deeper behind this passage.
"My child, have you studied philosophy?" asked Headmaster Woolsey.
"I know a little bit about it. Doug said cautiously.
"And what about you...... Don't you think it's a bit of a contradiction?" asked Principal Woolsey, pretending not to understand the passage.
"Teacher, I don't feel contradictory, on the contrary, I think contradiction is the unity of opposites.
Take Yale students as an example, learning and rest are the main themes of Yale students' lives.
However, no matter anyone, time is certain.
For Yale students, studying and resting are contradictory in terms of the amount of time spent.
In this way, it seems that if you want to excel in your studies and learn more knowledge, you need to rest less and study more.
But......
If you don't have a good rest for a long time, can you learn well when you study?
When you study, yawning, can you really get good grades?
If you have a good rest, a good rest, and a good spirit, will you be able to improve the efficiency of your studies?
Although in the time spent, studying and resting, seems to be contradictory.
But in practical terms, it is indeed unified.
It's like raising the welfare of workers, which seems to harm the interests of the capitalists.
But workers are producers and consumers at the same time.
If, unlimitedly, the producer attribute of the worker is strengthened, and the attribute of their consumer is suppressed.
A large number of products, not enough market consumption.
I think that, in addition to brewing an economic crisis, it will also provoke war.
Because, when local consumption is insufficient, only by expanding the local and foreign markets can the problem of insufficient consumption be alleviated.
But is this problem unique to the New England region?
No!
The UK has it too!
Germany has it too!
France has it too!
As long as the industrial countries are facing such problems.
When contradictions continue to accumulate, a great war will brew that will affect the whole world.
Tens of millions of people died, and a large number of production facilities were destroyed.
The capitalists took the opportunity to buy a large number of properties.
The remaining workers, relying on the reconstruction of the ruins, will live a period of revival and prosperity.
But what about the revival boom?
Consumption is still insufficient, should we fight again?
Because, I feel like I want to break such a cycle that is almost destined to happen.
Only by harming the interests of the capitalists can the interests of the capitalists be safeguarded. ”
After listening quietly, Principal Woolsey asked, "You say this is a 'unity of contradictions'?"
"Yes, it's a unity of contradictions!" said Doug affirmatively.
"My boy, you've got me in a big surprise!" Principal Woolsey simply put down Doug's manuscript.
He began to argue whether the philosophical viewpoint of "the unity of contradictory opposites" could really stand the test.
Philosophy, to some extent, is a metaphysics.
In a certain context, many words seem to be very reasonable, but these truths only seem subtle and can only be applied under certain conditions.
If we want philosophy to guide reality, we must not only have "particularity", but also "generality".
To put it simply, generality is universal.
