Xu He and the others glanced at each other and found that each other had strange expressions on their faces. They are all economists with professional backgrounds, in fact, anyone who has written a thesis or academic work knows that the shorter and simpler the title of the book, the longer and more complicated it will be. Therefore, the average person would never use "Socialism" as a thesis topic, because it would mean that he would cover all aspects of this big question. It's like those who study Chinese can't use "Tang Poems", those who study biology can't use "Seeds", and those who study psychology can't use "Metamorphosis......
In fact, it is not necessary to do this at all for a doctoral dissertation. In 1925, he received a Ph.D. from Yale University, and his dissertation was only "just" "A Comparative Study of the Income Tax Collection Process of Modern State Administrations".
The conceptual category of income tax is not as small as that of socialism, not to mention that it is only a collection process, and there is no need to elaborate on other aspects; Moreover, it defines the modern state administration; In the end, it's just a "comparative study".
Yuan Yanqian's ridiculous and generous doctoral dissertation title made Xu Zhimo and He Lian both curious, but their curiosity went in different directions.
Xu Zhimo always felt that Master Yuan was injured to save himself, but since he had a brain injury, he had become very strange.
At first, he seemed to have depression, either lying in bed or slumped on the sofa all day, and he could smoke two packs of cigarettes a day...... In fact, through this kind of thing, how can anyone really accept it immediately? Especially Yuan Yanqian, a time-traveler who doesn't have to fight for life and death, doesn't have hunger and cold, and has a lot of time to adapt.
After more than a week, he finally got a little refreshed, but his eyes were always hairy, and his mouth was still chanting words from time to time...... Is it normal to cross PTSD?
And Xu Zhimo now sees that Yuan Yanqi, who used to pay attention to dressing up, actually wore pajamas to meet guests, and forgot the date agreed by the two, how can I see that he has not yet recovered. That's why he wanted to see what Yuan Yanqian had written, to confirm whether this old brother's brain was really wrong.
Master He, who has never known Master Yuan all his life, wants to see how Yuan Yanqian is talking nonsense. People are so strange, if it was just an ordinary doctoral dissertation, an intellectual like He Lian would not read it privately. On the contrary, he knew that it was nonsense, and he wanted to see a joke, so he was itching.
So Xu Zhimo took the lead in reaching out and picking up the manuscript......
He flipped through it slightly, and now there is only the first volume, which is also divided into three parts. "The Superiority of the Capitalist Mode of Production", "The Utilitarian Argument for Democracy" and "Critique".
This seems to be normal, but I still have to look at the content. However, Xu Zhimo was particularly interested in this third part, because his master's thesis was "On the Status of Chinese Women".
However, from a strictly academic point of view, his paper is not at a good level. The content mainly talks about the literary cultivation of women in ancient China, and emphasizes the emancipation of women after Xinhai. It may be that in order to fight for face in front of foreigners, his paper is quite full of subsidence and understatement. For example, when he mentioned that the situation of female infanticide in China at that time was not as serious as the missionaries said; Moreover, "child marriage" (in fact, child brides) is backward, but it essentially plays a role in protecting the lives of girls.
He looked at He Lian, who was full of interest next to him, and handed over the first two parts very tacitly. Then the two of them stood at their desks and watched......
"Oops, it's been more than half an hour!" Xu Zhimo, who had finished reading the third part, raised his wrist a little irritably, looked at the gold watch, and shouted loudly.
Master He, who was immersed in Master Yuan's writings, also woke up and said in surprise: "Why hasn't Yuan Jun come out yet? ā
The two glanced at each other, put down the manuscript in their hands, forgot to knock on the door, and rushed directly into the bathroom......
"Purr Purr ......"
They found Yuan Yanqian snoring in the bathtub, and he actually fell asleep!
Is it easy to be a master? It's easy to say it's not easy to say it's not easy, but in fact, it still depends on the category.
As long as you have participated in the formal thesis defense, you will know that plagiarizing academic works is really not that simple, this is not like literary works, you can copy three cents and four cents, and even if you have a father ghostwriting (one black and three, the author feels cute).
Classmate, this paragraph of yours is very similar to XXX's discussion in "XXX", do you quote it or deduce it yourself? If it is a quotation, why not indicate the source, if it is your own derivation, then please briefly describe the derivation process.
Academic plagiarists dumbfounded: ......
Literary plagiarists are justifiable: Do you know that I work hard!
The second forced plagiarist jumped like thunder: Your surname is Fang? Do you like to eat elbows? Believe it or not, I'll give you an elbow?
Yuan Yan's copying is also very hard and easy to cut. Although "Socialism" became famous in later generations, as an economic dog of a distinctive socialist society, it is enough to know that there is such a book, and it is enough to write something in it. If you really want to compete with neoclassical liberalism, you have to see his student Hayek.
No way, as his doctoral dissertation, he just had to read the book from the beginning, figure out the meaning and origin of every word and sentence in it, especially some of the content that was too reactionary and make original corrections, which is equivalent to him writing a book "I'll take you to read Mises." But there is really this book, and it is estimated that in addition to the collections of various libraries, it is already a high incense to be able to sell in three digits.
And luckily, he discovered a very, very, very important feature of the Master Ball system, which is that it can be used as a searcher. As long as all the works published before the current point in time, Yuan Yanqian can use the Master Ball as a universal searcher as long as there are keywords. This saved him the effort of running to the library. Otherwise, even if the "Socialism" provided by the Master Ball system has an index, he wants to know what is written in the context and doesn't he have to find the original text?
After being woken up by the two of them, after another ten minutes, Yuan Yanqi, who had shaved a beard, took a shower, and changed into clothes, finally opened the door and walked out refreshed.
Xu Zhimo and He Lian seemed to have made an appointment, and at the same time stepped forward and said in unison very neatly: "Brother Hongji, I think your opinion is biased......
Yuan Yanqian raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender and said, "Two virtuous brothers, you have to come one by one." ā
Xu He and the others humbled a little, and in the end, Master He, who came from afar, came out on top. Neither of them knew that they were actually witnessing history, and the legendary life of Master Yuan Yanqian's invincible mouth cannon finally kicked off after chapter 22.
