Chapter 357: Logic
Mr. Euclid, what are you going to do next? Su Ye asked.
"The magic market in Sparta is too small, and there are no magicians who are proficient in geometry, I just want to stay here, read the book, and wait for the Athenian envoy to confirm the news, and then leave tomorrow." Euclid Road.
"You're not going to forget all the old friends of Sparta, are you?" Su Ye looked at Euclid slightly.
Euclid thought for a long time and said, "I can't remember any friends in Sparta. ”
"You won. But I happen to be fine, why don't we talk about geometry? Su Ye asked.
"Do you really know geometry?" Euclid looked at Su Ye with a suspicious target.
Su Ye really wants to say that he understands better than you now, but he can't say for sure later.
"I just don't understand, so I ask you for advice. I'm sure you've heard of the Feynman Technique, and now is a good time for you to use it. Su Ye said.
Euclid hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I don't like to waste time, but you're different, I still trust that person's vision." ”
"Aristotle." Su Ye Dao.
"Yes, that's him."
Next, the two men began to discuss the knowledge of geometry.
Su Ye found that Euclid's geometry knowledge was completely limited to the geometry of the Pythagorean school, but, unlike the disciples of the Pythagorean school, Euclid always felt that the geometry of this school had some kind of flaw, but he could not find it.
At this time, Euclid did not know about Eudox's theory of proportion, nor had he heard of Aristotle's syllogism, so naturally he could not create the foundation of later science, axiomatization, on the basis of these two.
Su Ye has been hesitant to say it directly, but he always feels that if he wants to talk about axiomatization, he has to say syllogism, and he also has to talk about proportionality, but these three kinds of knowledge are too grandiose.
The theory of comparison makes up for the shortcomings of the Pythagorean geometry, the syllogism is the foundation of logic, and axiomatization is the foundation of science that is not easy to come up with, and any point can cause a sensation in the world, although in a short period of time and even most people do not know the true value of this knowledge for a considerable period of time.
In the end, Su Ye restrained his expression and only discussed it in the existing geometric framework, never mentioning theorems or axioms, nor mentioning the most fundamental axiomatization.
In addition to talking about geometry, the two occasionally talked about other things, and at first Euclid was a little disgusted, obviously feeling that Su Ye was delaying his time, because he wanted to unswervingly pursue the ultimate truth of the world, and it was for the sake of dealing with Su Ye in the face of the 100,000 golden eagles.
But as the discussion deepened, Euclid forgot his original intention and began to seriously communicate with Su Ye about mathematics, geometry, philosophy, magic, history, culture, civilization and so on.
In the process of chatting, Su Ye occasionally wrote and drew on the magic book.
"Don't memorize too many knowledge points, you must remember the most fundamental things. Once we rely too much on superficial knowledge, we will inevitably ignore the real principle. Euclid kindly reminded.
"Extraordinary as you are, as long as you remember the fundamental things, but ordinary as me, not only remember the fundamental things, but also remember the important knowledge points, through the connection between the knowledge points, to explore the whole world. However, what I just recorded the most is not the knowledge points. Su Ye said.
"What's that?"
"The way you think, the way you think about the problem, or a line of logic."
"Logic?" Euclid's eyes lit up.
Su Ye realized that he had made a small mistake, the logic was officially established by Aristotle, and now Aristotle should not have said it. However, in this kind of communication, there is really no way not to mention this most basic word.
"Logic is derived from the word logos, coined by Master Heraclitus, the Lord of Fire." Su Ye had no choice but to explain.
Euclid suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Su Ye's two wrists, his eyes like a hungry lone wolf seeing fragrant roast beef.
Su Ye was so frightened that he almost kicked it.
Euclid excitedly exclaimed, "I like Logos the most!" Logos is the origin of magic, Logos is the foundation of the world, and although the wizarding world now disagrees with the Logos theory of the Lord of Fire, more and more people are accepting it. Can you tell me what logic is? I have a feeling that there must be great power hidden in this word. ”
Su Ye was silent.
In philosophy and magic, Logos is equivalent to the "Great Dao", which can be said to be both the law of magic and the origin of magic, but in the present, it represents the latter more.
Su Ye pondered for a long time and said, "I often go to Lion Harbor and think about problems against the sea. Actually, I'm ashamed to change the Master's words, but I've always felt that the word Logos is too big, and that it refers to the origin of magic better. And the forces that are perpetuated by Logos, such as magic or the most essential connection between things, a constant relationship or law, may be called logic. ”
"Of course, my understanding of this word is still very superficial, but I have a feeling that logic is a word that will shine on future generations." Su Ye said vaguely.
"That's right! Absolutely! The origin of the world is Logos, and the most fundamental connection between the worlds is logic! It's wonderful, it's wonderful......"
Euclid suddenly let go of Su Ye and got up and walked around the living room, his face crimson and trembling with excitement.
"Logos, logic...... Yes, logic is a wonderful word! I always felt that Pythagorean geometry was missing something, yes, logic, logic! God, Su Ye, you are such a genius, I'm sorry, I underestimated you! From today onwards, Plato's Academy changed from four to five. If you must keep the title of the Four Masters, then kick that barbarian warrior Alexander out! He just wants to be the king of the world, and we want to be the king of philosophy and magic! He doesn't deserve to be on a par with the four of us! His highest position is only to occupy a pitiful few pages in the history books, and the real Plato will occupy the minds of mankind for eternity, eternal and unchanging! ”
Su Ye looked at Euclid dancing blankly, what he said was actually not wrong at all, although Euclid and other masters did not occupy as much space in the history books as Alexander, but their thoughts did occupy the brains of everyone in later generations.
However, I didn't expect Plato's Academy to have this chain of contempt.
"Logic, logic...... It's wonderful! It's wonderful! This is definitely the second best thing after Logos...... No, no, no, this is the equivalent of Logos. Dear Su Ye, you are the beacon! You are the gods! You are the philosopher king! Kill Aristotle, and you are Plato's true disciple! Aristotle's stupid, he is not as good as you, the logic you created can crush all his achievements, he is in front of you, just an ant, hahahaha...... I suddenly understood why he was looking at ants every day, but he was observing himself...... Don't say this to him, for he is ruthless. Euclid said at the end, and the frenzy in his eyes faded a little.
Su Ye couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that Euclid and Aristotle have discussed the esoteric principles of magic, and it seems that the two have differences, but only differences in philosophy.
"Ahem, I was inspired by the conversation with Mr. Aristotle a few days ago, and I discovered the word logic after the experience of Lion Harbor." Su Ye said busily.
"No, no, no, it's me, it's me. I am the first person to know logic besides you, and Aristotle is only the second at best...... Well, don't tell him yet, I'm going to tell him what logic is, and he will be dumbfounded, and he will look at me with great admiration, and he won't dare to laugh at me anymore for being just a little golden magician, hahahaha......"
Euclid said as he walked up and down the parlour like a little crab with teeth and claws.
Su Ye smiled, these masters are really more interesting than the other.
Euclid was excited for a while, and said, "I don't care about you, I'm going to study this logic, it's so wonderful, I don't even want to go to the Marathon Plains...... However, even when I get there, I will not leave the camp, I will always study this logic, and I feel that there is something special in this logic, a truth, that can help me pursue the ultimate truth of the world. It's wonderful, it's wonderful......"
Euclid waved his arms out of the reception room.
The guards at the door were dumbfounded, and Julius looked breezy.
"Why, he didn't scare you, did he? It's good to get used to it. Julius said indifferently.
"It's okay, it's pretty much what I expected." Su Ye smiled.
"I know all the four masters of the academy, except for you and Alexander, the other three are all crazy." Julis said.
Alexander...... Didn't he beat Commodes? Su Ye asked.
Julius said: "The two of them have usually fought each other, and there is no winner or loser. He only stayed at the First Academy for less than half a year and did not catch up with the Gladiator Tournament. However, Commodus did say that one-on-one, he was confident of beating Alexander, a hundred against a hundred, and he could draw. However, if the two sides lead the army to fight, Commodus feels that he will not even have any bones left. ”
"Yes, Alexander's talent is not in combat skills, but in strategy. You should have a good relationship with Alexander, right? Su Ye said.
"It's okay, he's a little taciturn, and he's bleeding, I don't look down on him." Julis said.
Su Ye almost rolled his eyes and said, "I took back all the words I said before that you had vision, at most ten years, you will regret your choice." You shouldn't judge a king by the eyes of a gladiator. ”
"I'm X, what did you say?" Julius was shocked.
"Don't talk about this, is the money enough?" Su Ye asked.
Julius said with a crying voice: "Su Ye, what is Alexander's background?" I really don't know, I just think he's a quirky and gifted warrior, he's not interested in us gladiators, I stammered for a long time at first, he ignored him, I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I wouldn't offend him, right? ”
Su Ye thought for a while and said, "If he leads the army to Sparta one day, remember to surrender in advance." ”
"Don't scare me......" Julius was about to cry.
