Chapter 1199: No Turning Back
It is only then that people begin to notice the power of the mind, and then examine the power of the mind to find that the mind prides itself too far and fails to do the work it has undertaken. Not only has the mind failed to know the nature of God, nature, and spirit, but in short, it has failed to know the truth, but it has overthrown government and religion. Therefore, it is urgent to defend the effect or utility of thinking, so to investigate the nature of thinking, to maintain the power of thinking, and gradually to discover something new, perhaps the truth, or something other than the truth. Do you know what I mean?"
Yang Pu took a breath, stretched out his hand and gently wiped the sweat overflowing from his forehead and said: "It seems to understand, according to what you said, in everyone's consciousness, as long as he has a mind and examines his thoughts, he can empirically find that his thoughts have universal and the following characteristics. Then the correct observation of his consciousness and the facts in his appearances requires him to have considerable training in attention and abstraction beforehand. In this preliminary statement, the distinction between feelings, appearances, and thoughts has already been mentioned. This distinction is most crucial to understanding the nature and categories of cognition. So here we will first bring up this distinction to draw people's attention so that it will help them to understand. -- To regulate sensual things, we should first trace their external origins, the senses or sensory faculties.
However, simply calling out the names of the senses does not prescribe what the senses feel. The difference between sensual things and thoughts is that the former is characterized by individuality. Since individual things are also related to each other, all sensual things are individual things that are external to each other, and their exact abstract forms are juxtaposed and continuous with each other. Isn't that the truth?"
Yang Zheng stared at Yang Pu for a long time, and asked in surprise: "Elder Ge has heard of logic?"
Yang Pu glanced at him and said, "In addition to you as a madman in this world, how many madmen are there?"
Yang Zheng was stunned, and then woke up: "Yes, in this era, except for me who came to this era inexplicably, there is really no one who can come, Yang Pu obviously didn't hear any logic, but he can comprehend logic, Yang Zheng can't find any words to describe it except for saying, you are a genius?"
Yang Pu thought that Yang Zheng was sarcastic at first, but it can be seen that his expression was indifferent, and he realized that this sentence was sincere, so he nodded and said.
Yang Zheng said: "The reason why thinking is the right to be the object of special scientific research may be based on the fact that we recognize that thinking has a certain authority, and that thinking can represent the true nature of human beings, which is the key to distinguishing between humans and animals." Moreover, even if we simply understand and study thinking as a subjective activity, it is not uninteresting. A careful study of the mind will reveal its laws and rules, and the knowledge of its laws and rules can be gained from experience. It must be said that it is interesting to study the laws of thinking from this point of view, which have constituted the content of what is usually called logic?"
Yang Pu nodded approvingly and said: "The careful study of thinking will reveal its laws and rules, and it is indeed a very good thing to apply the knowledge of its laws and rules, right?"
"Very well, in our hometown, there was an Aristotle man who was the founder of this science. He revealed the power of what he thought the mind had. Our thinking is inherently concrete, but in the complex content of thinking, we must distinguish what belongs to thinking itself or to the abstract role of thinking.
The function of the mind, a subtle intellectual connection, which synthesizes all the contents of the mind, is particularly prominent and prescribed by Aristotle, who has made this intellectual connection, the form of thought itself, particularly prominent, so that the person who has learned this science has a clear mind, as is often said, and can also teach people to practice concentrating and thinking abstractly, while in everyday consciousness we deal with most of the manifestations of confused and intricate feelings. But in abstract thinking, we must concentrate on one point, and by developing a habit of engaging in the activity of the heart. One can use knowledge about the forms of finite thinking as a tool for studying empirical science?"
Yang Pu said: "In this way, this logic study of logic is not for practical purposes, but for the sake of the science itself, because exploring the best things is not for the purpose of pure practicality. ”
Yang Zheng said in surprise: "That's what it means, the best thing, that is, the most useful thing, God said: "First of all, you must seek the kingdom of heaven, and other things will be added to you." "It is only when the self-made existence is attained that a special purpose can be achieved. With this purpose, learning logic can acquire many ways to test the correctness of reasoning, making it easier to identify errors of reasoning, so that these errors are not easily trapped in reasoning. Among these identified errors are some common reasoning fallacies, or so-called "natural errors," that can be easily avoided if they are fully understood.
Analysis without logic, but only on subjective feelings, is the product of self-blind emotion and analysis. This kind of blind analysis is contrary to logic. And in the road of life, we need to analyze all kinds of problems, which are unavoidable, so logic and our life are unified and one. Glancing at Yang Pu as he spoke, seeing that his expression became unprecedentedly dignified, Yang Zheng didn't dare to stop, and said in one breath: "Logic is a theory about correct thinking, which must be accompanied by human beings and permeate all aspects of social life, all the time and everywhere. Therefore, I can say that logic is a tool for people's verbal communication, a method for people to seek knowledge, and a support point for people's rationality.
I think that if a nation does not have a good logical thinking, it will not be able to have sound and mature rationality, it will not be able to actively and effectively understand the world, and it will not be possible to have successful communication. A nation without good logical thinking is hopeless. Therefore, it is necessary and worthwhile to learn logic. I wonder what adults think?"
Yang Pu didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yang Zheng didn't rush to speak, at this time, the morning sun was obliquely shining, through the glorious Forbidden City, the entire imperial city was covered with a layer of golden light, under the light, Yang Pu's long beard moved with the wind, and the sweat overflowing on his forehead dripped down his bronzed cheeks from time to time, and fell on the Han white marble, making a ticking sound, very loud.
After about a cup of tea, Yang Pucai exhaled heavily, slowly raised his eyes, glanced at the glorious Forbidden City, and said: "The benefits of logic are self-evident, but this knowledge wants to stand out in the scope of Zhu Cheng's science, but I'm afraid it's not easy, I can't do it...... Why should you do that?"
"yes, why should I do that?" Yang Zheng couldn't help but ask rhetorically, he came to this era inexplicably, it is the best era of the Ming Dynasty, he has made his own efforts, from a small Peng family descendant, as a general, as a bachelor, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and now he is a feudal official, under one person, above ten thousand, the emperor trusts, the ministers love, and the family is more like a flower, he doesn't have to toss, but he still chose a toss road without hesitation, knowing that it is not easy to walk, but he gritted his teeth and walked down, saying that it was for fame, it seems that it is unreasonable, and now his reputation has surpassed Yang Shiqi, and he is a talented man Tang Bohu in the people, Why do you need fame as a burdensome thing, for the right, he is already a second-grade official of Annan Jing, a second-grade official of the Eight Classics, holding the power of life and death, as long as Annan is pacified, he believes that his official will go further, and he is confident that he still has this.
Neither for fame, nor for wealth, not for power, why is that, he often asks himself, but there is never an answer, but at this moment, he has come to the bottom of his heart has been thinking about the answer, he has been exploring, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, so that there is some taste of self-feeling, but it is a real feeling, because he knows that after six hundred years, Western science, astronomy, natural science, aesthetics, literature, Medicine gradually surpassed China, but China because of Zhu Cheng science and limited thinking, missed the opportunity to make another leap, but also as a twenty-first century people never want to see the result, now there is this opportunity, whether it can be changed or not, he has to give it a try, this is counted as the only benefit of his era, maybe can change the trajectory of the Ming Dynasty is not necessarily, although history is created by the people of the world, but individual people can still change history, affect history, the history of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Genghis Khan, did not influence the course of history, although he was not such a talented person, but he also had something that they did not have, that is, he had more knowledge than them for thousands of years.
He believes that he can make some changes, even some small changes, it is much better than this backwater, of course, he will not be completely Westernized, because after all, he is a Chinese, he does not think that the Chinese civilization is much weaker than the West, that is, the current Chinese civilization, is still much stronger than the West, if it were not for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to live in China in the future, blindly closed off the country, and guided the Chinese civilization to seep into a cloud of backwater for nearly three hundred years, he believes that the Chinese civilization is still ahead of the West! All he wants to do is to break the current stagnant water in an advanced way, and inject a fresh stream of water into this stagnant water, so as to show the glory of Chinese civilization again, even if there is another hundred schools of thought, it is good, or like the West, there will be a great renaissance of literature and art, science and technology, astronomy, geography, natural science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and medicine can be comprehensively developed and embark on a more and more correct path.
