Chapter 126 Humanitarianism Written

Zhou Nan himself doesn't know how he got to where he is today.

Since moving to Weggis and getting acquainted with Mayor Entlebuch, the changes that followed have surprised him.

In 43 years, he got memories from the future, he went from shock to confusion, from acceptance to integration, and at the beginning, everything was developing according to his expectations.

They quit the military supply business, Yannick will not be killed again, and the family business will no longer be wiped out.

He also successfully walked with Audrey, immigrated to Switzerland, and lived a peaceful life.

According to his expectations, at the end of 45 years, when he recovered, life had already become the mode he expected.

When did the change begin? Maybe it should start with Mayor Thomas taking him to Liwei.

Having been expelled from Megan, he sought the protection of the organization, established a relationship with the mayor of Entlebuch, and showed him his work.

As a result, he was appreciated by Entlebuch and joined the Liberal Democratic Party.

But politics is a huge whirlpool, and the moment he steps into politics, he has already begun to become involuntary.

He originally just wanted to publish a book, but he was targeted by the Liberal Democratic Party as a propaganda target, and he involuntarily began his glorious journey.

Speeches in Switzerland, speeches in France, speeches in Italy, more or less he was influenced and walked on a somewhat deviated path.

Indeed, the path he took was right in the eyes of all, an upward path.

But before he knew it, he was carrying more than he had originally imagined.

I don't want to say whether he is willing or not, these responsibilities have been carried on his back and can no longer be discharged.

He is getting more and more brilliant, but his current life is getting more and more deviated from the life he envisioned at the beginning, and it is getting farther and farther away from the peaceful life he wants.

This time, he suddenly experienced the life he longed for, and it immediately evoked his original intention. Let Nord want him to relax, but he seems to see the road ahead of him all at once.

He can no longer passively follow the crowd like this, since he already has more strength than anyone else, he should take the initiative to face his life.

Although with great power comes great responsibility.

But Zhou Nan also doesn't think that he should be responsible for other people's lives. In addition to his own relatives, he will only have that kind of feeling to help others when he can and without affecting himself.

Since he wants to live a free and indifferent life, he must firmly develop in this direction. Instead of being passively pushed forward by Etinny as now, he is still unwilling and reluctant.

If you are more positive, you will be able to adapt to your new life more quickly and enjoy your current life more.

This is not a dream world, but a real life.

Audrey took a basket and took Melissa to look for duck eggs in the woods, there were a lot of chickens and ducks here, and there were a lot of eggs of all kinds, and the two of them harvested a basket in a short time.

Zhou Nan sat on the roots of the old tree by the river, reflecting on his mentality, and his mood became more and more relaxed.

He stood up and patted the dust off his body. He shouted, "Baby, do you want me to carry the basket for you?" ”

Melissa smiled happily, "Jonas, we picked up a lot of eggs......

……

……

When he came back from vacation, Zhou Nan's books were sorted out faster and faster, and many of the problems that were originally entangled were also decided by Zhou Nan at this time.

The end of the book "General History of the World" is determined by Zhou Nan to be the time period of the German invasion of Poland and the Czech Republic, leaving an open ending.

World War II had a wide impact on the whole world, and if you want to analyze it clearly, you need to have detailed content, otherwise it is better not to write about it.

At the end of the book, a lot of the content about World War II is no longer needed, which is equivalent to saying that they have saved a small amount of effort.

Regarding the exposition of the humanitarian spirit, in addition to the content of Zhou Nan's initial speech, Zhou Nan also brought in Schweitzer to expound on facts and ethics.

In addition to being an excellent bioethicist, Schweitzer is also an excellent musician, theologian and renowned medical expert. He went to Africa in 13 years and built a hospital in Africa through concerts to raise funds.

The Bach Music Society in France, fearing that he would be buried as a musical genius, built a three-ton piano for him and shipped it to Africa for him to practice.

After he quit the hotel room, he also moved to a villa, in addition to giving Zhou Nan great help in terms of books, but also in the piano, he became Zhou Nan and Audrey's teacher.

His piano level is world-class, and it is more than enough to be a teacher for Audrey and Zhou Nan.

However, he belongs to serious music, and in addition to his skills, he does not help Zhou Nan much in terms of composition. On the contrary, Audrey benefited a lot from him, and at the suggestion of Zhou Nan, she officially recognized Schweitzer as a teacher.

And Zhou Nan's right hand was the mainstay, supplemented by his left hand, and he played "The Sound of Silence" and "City in the Sky", two pieces of music with similar musical styles, which immediately shocked him.

Although Zhou Nan's playing skills are very average, because of an injury to his left arm, the level of performance is still very amateurish. But these two pieces belong to simple but timeless music, and the technical flaws do not affect the greatness of the works in the slightest.

He immediately asked Zhou Nan to give him a few copies after the record was released. However, the record that Zhou Nan wants to release this time is the Bamboo Flute Concerto. As for the piano music, because his skills are not enough, he will be released in the future, and I am afraid that he will not play it himself in the future, but only a portfolio.

In addition to Schweitzer, the closest contact during this period was Russell. Because Zhou Nan, at the suggestion of Etinny, also brought him in to jointly improve the idealistic and materialist analysis of humanism.

In terms of philosophy, Russell is a true master, and now he has begun to have a profound study of the forms of social organization, and his depth of analysis from the perspective of humanity is definitely beyond the reach of Zhou Nan.

The content of the single book of "Humanitarianism" is not much, and after the joint deconstruction and elaboration of the three people, the total number is just over 150,000 words.

So the book was completed much faster than the second volume of the General History of the World.

The book is divided into two parts, the first of which is a deconstruction of humanitarianism.

The whole humanism was identified by the three of them as the value of reason, the value of free inquiry, the value of individual dignity, the principle of moral equality, the ideal of freedom, religious skepticism, the essence and source of ethics, the materialist worldview, and the ethics of socialism.

Structurally, there is a comprehensive deconstruction of capitalist humanism and socialist humanism. The two different humanitarianism have their similarities and fundamental differences.

The second part is the spirit of humanitarianism derived from humanism.

Humanitarianism, with a relative sublime, surreal. Because the idea of spirituality acts primarily on the surreal side.

The spirit often goes beyond the meaning of reality, mostly referring to the things that are desired, and in the conventional situation, the spirit is often a concept of space.

The spirit of humanism is more focused on embodying a kind of conscience in the sense of people-oriented, in the sense of human beings' own functional concepts, and under the domination of this consciousness, it forms a universal outlook based on a high degree of civilization and aimed at the harmonious development of human beings.

For example, the Red Cross has not yet established the World Health Organization. It was under the domination of such a humanitarian spirit that it was founded.

No matter what kind of political system you live in, the Red Cross, the World Health Organization are working for you, and they should be. When people are hurt by war, threatened by disease, and lost by natural disasters, both agencies have an obligation and a responsibility to help you.

Thus, it has been seen that humanism is indeed surreal. Because human beings can never live in a perfect prosperous world, there will always be contradictions and antagonisms. A society without contradictions and antagonisms does not exist and is not objective. There are no such times.

Therefore, humanism is a concept that allows human beings to worship and believe together, and under the consciousness of this concept, all human activities and behaviors and their norms will be carried out within this category.

Embodied in reality, with a concept that everyone can understand, that is charity.

Officially, because humanitarianism and the Red Cross are so compatible, when Zhou Nangang preached the spirit of humanitarianism, they took action and wanted to obtain the distribution rights of this book, because this was simply the founding program of their organization.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Nan never thought of taking this book as his own private work, but borrowed the influence of this book to make his fame even better.

Schweitzer and Russell thought the same way, all they cared about was to let this spirit pass on, at most with some of their own fame.

This book is not something that any one person can keep as his own personal property, but belongs entirely to all mankind.

After finishing the manuscript, Zhou Nan asked Etinny to contact the Red Cross and prepare to hand over the manuscript printed by the assistants to them.

Regarding publishing and promotion, Zhou Nan and they will not interfere.

Russell also generously said that he would be satisfied to have him as the third author. Although he is now the most famous, he is the third author because he has contributed the least.

The Red Cross moved very quickly, and knowing that Schweitzer was about to return to Africa, they rushed to London as quickly as possible and organized a grand handover ceremony.

From now on, they began to work hard to promote the book.

Schweitzer, who had been in London for nearly a month, was leaving for the book. The hospitals in Africa, and the medical system he has built up there, cannot leave him for a long time.

Zhou Nan did not keep him, Schweitzer's dedication is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine, and his life belongs to Africa, not Europe.

If he was for pleasure, he could have lived a life of superiority in Europe, but he was willing to give everything he had to the suffering beings of Africa.

Zhou Nan bought him a first-class ticket from London to Libreville, the capital of Gabon, and sponsored him 3,000 pounds. It's not that he doesn't want to give him more, it's true, even the money was still lent to him by Nord, and he is now about to become a poor egg.

However, when he returns to Switzerland, the current financial embarrassment will be greatly alleviated.
