Chapter 673: A Deafening Theory

Li Kuo's opening remarks almost caused an uproar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Because this opening sentence is indeed full of arrogant and domineering feelings.

"Alleviating the epistemological problem of humanity?"

This thought hovers in the minds of many people, giving them the feeling that you are specifically teasing me.

After all, it's a huge thing.

The people here today are basically philosophical, especially NYU itself, which is even more so, after all, this is a famous philosophy school, many things have their own opinions, and the school's inheritance is also full of the blood and blood of that philosophy.

Therefore, such a group of people are full of expectations for this philosophy, and their speech to Li Kuo was originally just to broaden their horizons, but they didn't expect him to talk about everyone's business so quickly, which made people sleepy, and they were all staring at Li Kuo.

Because of their philosophical literacy, they naturally understand what the knowledge system of human beings is now suffering from severe examinations.

Now mankind has ushered in a great explosion of science and technology, and has also ushered in a variety of endless theories, but these scientific theories actually belong to the scope of extreme empiricism, and now the mainstream is more agreed with empiricism - everything is based on experience, and this set is also the set of Hume's skepticism in another time and space.

Of course, science and technology are still advancing, and when it comes to human happiness, or world wars, experience is still summed up or something, and it is not so important, black cats and white cats, and it is a good cat to catch mice...... Therefore, although many technologies do not solve the essential problems epistemologically, the practical problems have been solved, and various technologies are also being used.

After all, the significance of philosophy to various theoretical reserves cannot be compared with that of previous eras.

Of course, having said that, if the epistemological problem of human beings can be solved, it is really possible that it will be engraved on the altar of Western philosophy, just like Kant in another time and space.

Moreover, it is still in the years of information explosion and the rapid rise of more things, so Li Kuo's influence on philosophy will spread at a very fast speed.

But all this is premised on his ability to come up with something persuasive......

Otherwise, she's just a magic stick.

"Epistemological questions? Isn't that? ā€

At this moment, many people in the audience are laughing at Li Kuo in their hearts, feeling that this person is very unreliable, and some people are full of anger, if it is not limited by the occasion, they will definitely jump out - do you really think philosophy is that simple? Do you really think that anyone who comes up can talk about so-called philosophy without shame? Yours aren't really.

However, these people are on this occasion after all, so although they are very unhappy in their hearts at this time, they can only selectively suppress it and hold it in their hearts.

"I'd love to hear what ivory this guy can spit out."

Some people already have such thoughts, subjectively judging that Li Kuo must be a person who is too self-inflated, and when the time comes, they have prepared countless kinds of slap in the face, anyway, they must swear to kill Li Kuo from the podium today, so that he can taste the taste of the iron fist of philosophy.

After all, for many people, philosophy may be just a word that can't be touched, but for these people, it is a kind of belief in their own life, if they are really insulted, they will really have an urge to fight hard, and this is the case right now......

And Li Kuo, at this time, began his speech.

"There is no doubt that all of our knowledge begins through experience...... But while all of our knowledge is opened through experience, not all of it originates from experience. For it is quite possible that even our empirical knowledge is a co-presupposition of what we receive by impression and what we give from ourselves out of our own cognitive faculties......"

At this time, it made some people reduce their disgust towards Li Kuo, after all, from these words, it is obvious that he should not be a layman who knows nothing about philosophy, but a philosophy lover who has at least a little knowledge reserve.

It's just that for the time being, these things are relatively new, that is, the latter point of view is relatively new, but this novelty is also limited to old wine in new bottles, and there is not much merit.

However, what you have heard is that Li Kuo wants to alleviate the problem of epistemology?

How can he alleviate it?

And is this just a kind of preparation that he has made in his mouth?

Then, Li Kuo began to talk about some problems of the previous empiricism.

"Empiricism believes that human rationality is initially just a blank piece of paper, the pen is the influence of external things on us, the rational content is only the summary and abstraction of the empirical content, which can eventually be reduced to the empirical content, and the process of cognition is the process of the pen (external things) portrayed on the paper (rationality...... But this metaphor involves too many problems. ā€

At this moment, some people in the audience couldn't hold back, feeling that Li Kuo was a liar.

After all, although he said a big proposition at the beginning, from the current point of view, he has almost been talking about some superficial things.

Everyone knows the problem of empiricism, but there is no way to solve this problem so far.

After all, the emergence of skepticism has allowed empiricism to be accepted only temporarily, and for other things that summarize knowledge, if we use Plato's set, they have long since collapsed after the destruction of geocentrism.

What people need is something new.

So, at last, someone couldn't help it, stood up and said: "Mr. Li Kuo, I respect you and welcome you to our school to talk about philosophy, but with all due respect, so far, I feel that you are just teaching fish to swim (the Western proverb is similar to a class door with an axe), we don't need such a summary of empiricism, we need something new." ā€

Li Kuo smiled and nodded: "Please calm down, my point of view is about to begin." ā€

Everyone can only continue to endure their temperament and listen down.

Li Kuo finally began to talk about a place: "And the problems we have to solve now, 1. Why can we understand the world? 2. Where does the universal necessity of knowledge come from (how is it possible to make a priori synthetic judgment)? ā€¦ā€¦ā€

At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears again.

Then, Li Kuo said: "This is exactly what I want to say, since our knowledge cannot discuss whether it is in line with the truth of this world. Why, then, can't we let the knowledge of the outside world conform to us? As long as our knowledge conforms to the edifice of human knowledge, we continue to build this edifice so that the world's things can find their place in the edifice of knowledge, isn't this a way? ā€

As soon as this sentence came out, the scene was instantly quiet, and many people felt like an explosion had occurred......

A lot of people feel like their heads are buzzing.
