At this time, I looked up at my father, and the word 'philosophy' flashed in my brain, and I blurted out: "Daddy, didn't you promise me to tell me what kind of course philosophy is in the car, you can talk about it now." ”

"Oh," said his father's brain, which seemed to spin quickly behind his eyes. An unintentional sentence, I still keep it in mind. I would like to ask Aunt Qiu Yun to talk about this question, you may be able to understand it more easily. ”

"Is that so?" I was surprised and admired and said, "Aunt Qiu Yun, I didn't expect you to be a person who can be defined!" Aunt Qiu Yun was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on her face, and said, "What definition can I make?" It's nonsense. I hurriedly told my father what I had talked to her on the way to her, and at the end I added, "You also know philosophy, so you can define it?" ”

"Oh," Aunt Qiu Yun suddenly turned her charming eyes, just smiled, without words, two small dimples appeared on her face, she found that I was looking at me beautifully with a sideways face, so she deliberately let a lock of long hair spread on my face, and then continued: "How can a philosopher who knows a little bit of philosophy be compared to a philosopher?" Of course, at your current age, it is indeed overkill to let Daddy teach you philosophy, and you may not be able to understand it. ”

"Aunt Qiu Yun, philosophy is very profound, is it useful to study philosophy?"

Aunt Qiu Yun hugged me and shook me from side to side gently, saying, "Any discipline is very profound, but only philosophy is profound? All disciplines are useful, and of course, the more deeply a person learns a certain science, the higher the knowledge will be, and the greater the role it will play. ”

"And then you can define it?" I couldn't wait to ask.

"Rightfully so." Aunt Qiu Yun paused for a moment to clear her mind, what kind of language should I use to make me understand. "There are different types of philosophy, there are countless concepts that are difficult to remember and difficult to understand, and now I will tell you this, no matter how smart our currents are, they may be incomprehensible, but if we don't talk about it, we can't tell what philosophy is."

"I don't need to know that much now, you just need to say something simple and easy to understand."

"That's an acceptable request." Aunt Qiu Yun saw that I had doubts about "Shang Ke", so she told me that it is not easy to understand in philosophy, and then said modestly: "That's why Daddy asked me to talk about it." Say, just introduce a little bit of the basics; Talking is an in-depth explanation of mystical knowledge. ”

I grasped the fact that 'speaking' and 'speaking' seemed to be interchangeable and substitutional, and took the initiative to ask: "Isn't it very close to the meaning of speaking?" Such as speaking, speaking, talking, talking, etc. ”

"Well, you're pretty quick." Aunt Qiu Yun praised it first, and then said succinctly: "But 'speaking' is to explain what others have seen and learned, and then they can understand it, while 'speaking' is to explain what others have seen and listened to and learned, and they can't understand it or can't fully understand it." ”

"Oh," I said urgently, "then you can tell me something that will make you know one thing and the other at a moment's notice." ”

"I think so." Aunt Qiu Yun thought for a while and said succinctly: "Let's start with the word 'philosophy', here, 'philosophy' means smart, smart, wise, wise, and 'xue' refers to knowledge, learning, and learning. Can you understand? I repeated what I had heard in my heart and replied, "Philosophy is the learning or doctrine of wisdom of wise men." ”

"Well, the word 'human' is added beautifully." Aunt Qiu Yun routinely praised first, and then extended the narrative later: "For the time being, we regard what you just said as a 'definition' of the word 'philosophy', but what should we do or start from to prove that this 'definition' is correct?" It's okay to be able to say a little. ”

"Well," I replied, after a moment's thought, "then we have to prove what learning is." ”

"Good." Aunt Qiu Yun smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "When we give a similar definition of 'learning', what do we have to prove? ”

"Ah," I said as if I had an understanding, "I understand, Aunt Qiu Yun, philosophy is a study or doctrine that seeks the root of things. ”

Aunt Qiu Yun caressed my face a few times with her tender and moist face, which made me intoxicated by the new discovery, but she said unexpectedly: "Before answering or proving what is smart, smart, wise, and wise, it has been replaced by asking for the roots, can you give another definition of 'seeking the roots'?" ”

"Well," I vaguely felt as if I had entered a labyrinth, and I couldn't find the north any further down, so I replied in a regretful tone, "If I make a definition, I will have to prove something new, and I can't prove it all." ”

"Our currents are really smart, but we haven't proven them yet, so how do we know that they can't be proven? It should just be the size of the difficulty of the proof, and the length of time to prove it. Aunt Qiu Yun took the opportunity to encourage and prepare the way for the end.

"To prove the length of time," I hit a hurdle, so I begged in frustration: "Aunt Qiu Yun, I don't understand too much, can you explain it?" ”

"You're good enough to think of 'length of time' as a concept! However, interpretation belongs to the category of 'speaking', and my task is to 'speak'. Of course, I can give an example, 'can man fly to the sky' is a question that has been proven for thousands of years, and it is only in the last hundred years that it has been proven that man can fly to the sky. However, there is a difference between 'can', 'can', 'very capable', very capable, very, very capable, etc., that is, it is necessary to prove how high a person can fly, how far he can fly, how long he can fly, and so on. ”

"Oh, it's 'time itself' that is the hardest to prove." I listened to this and felt very satisfied, but in the end it was over without saying anything, and I felt very bored, so I asked, "Is this all the content of the philosophy course?" ”

"Yes," Aunt Qiu Yun said to me with an endless tone of learning, "but if you only know such a little knowledge, you haven't even found the door to enter the house." ”

I laughed hesitantly, and told Aunt Qiu Yun embarrassedly: "No wonder Daddy would say to me, 'Even philosophers don't dare to define arbitrarily with two sentences like you', it seems that the definition is not easy to make." ”

"Whether it's good or not, it's a matter of facts. However, we can't mess around, and we can't be arrogant and arbitrary. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." On a whim, I asked, "Why don't you talk about this knowledge in class, it's very interesting." ”

"Interestingly, that's not what you're going to be taught in the course at this stage. Moreover, we are now out to play, don't think about the things in the classroom again, didn't Daddy say before, today we have to play happily, and don't think about anything other than playing. Aunt Qiu Yun was relieved and quickly kissed me on the face.

"Oh," I said, but I became worried, and asked as if I had forgotten what I was doing: "Aunt Qiu Yun, we have been in the car for such a long time, we are probably going to Huadu, but how are we going to play?" ”

"That's a question," Aunt Qiu Yun replied with a smile: "Don't worry about it, Daddy has already thought about it, and when we get to the provincial capital, he will lead us to enjoy the joy of playing and take us to discover the meaning of playing!" ”

"Auntie," I patted Aunt Qiu Yun's hand holding me, and said thoughtfully, "You better put me down, you're tired too." ”

"Finally willing to remove the word 'Qiu Yun', ocean current, my ocean current!" Aunt Qiu Yun's eyes instantly drooped into tears, and she hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch me away. "Okay, let's all stand up and let Daddy sit for a while, he's really tired."
