Chapter 258: Ancient Greek Tradition, Sub-Sacred Theory!

Shi Huizhen's remarks made everyone silent again. There's no way, for everyone, this is no longer available......

If Socrates, a veteran of the battlefield, or Plato, an Olympic combat champion, had been here himself, they would have been able to debate this matter of principle. But the Greeks present obviously did not have the physique and spirit of their ancestors, and in the face of Shi Huizhen's intentional or unintentional difficulties, everyone could only remain silent.

In the end, as the organizer, Frajos had to bite the bullet and deal with it.

"It's normal for each of us to have different hobbies and different understandings of the value of something." He said: "Thales, the 'first philosopher,' observed the stars at night, but he did not pay attention to his feet and fell into a well. A Thracian maidservant next to him laughed at him, saying that he didn't even understand earthly things, but he cared about heavenly things. ”

Of course, those of us who have been educated and exposed to wisdom need not be offended or embarrassed by this. Neither Thales nor the barbarian maid should be blamed, because different people care about it from different angles. Plato later commented that anyone who was engaged in philosophy would always be made fun of in this way. This was originally a normal episode on the road to the pursuit of wisdom. ”

After he finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Shi Huizhen.

These words seem fair, but in fact, they have been secretly saying that Shi Huizhen is like a barbarian. It's not so much "everyone respects each other's hobbies" as "you can't understand our wisdom anyway, so don't mix it up".

Shi Huizhen thought about it, and didn't know if she understood, so she nodded.

Frajos smiled triumphantly at his friends, and was about to say something, but Shi Huizhen said: "I heard Theodora say that Thales later succeeded in predicting a good olive harvest, and therefore received recognition for his wisdom. ”

"yes." Frajos nodded subconsciously: "This is not too difficult for wise people, it's just that their energy is concentrated in other places and they don't care much about mundane things. ”

"Then can you predict when the harvest will be on your head?" Shi Huizhen reminded: "It's too barren there! ”

"I'm ......," Frajos was so angry by her metaphor that he was speechless for a while.

"I have heard the priests say that the place above the head is close to the Father, but it is not an ordinary place!" Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Huizhen hurriedly reminded: "I see, you should pay attention." ”

“……”

However, seeing that he didn't speak, Shi Huizhen was more serious. She tilted her head curiously and asked, "Couldn't you predict it with your wisdom?" ”

It suddenly felt like Frajos was a question that could not be answered. Whether you say yes, say no, or find an excuse to shirk it, you will make yourself a laughing stock. But if you don't answer, this thing is estimated to be entangled until the end of the banquet.

There was no way, he had to say unhappily: "This is beyond the scope of human beings, and it is not what humans should do." ”

"Then you should continue to work hard in this direction and pay more attention." Shi Huizhen pointed out.

"Why?" Frajos didn't understand the logic of her words.

"You don't farm, you don't fight, you don't even run your family's slave business." Shi Huizhen also analyzed: "You never do what people do. Isn't that just the right time to do more that people don't do? ”

“???” Frajos didn't know how to answer for a moment.

His friends were all embarrassed, and some of the other guests began to snicker.

"This kind of thing is not in a hurry first, let's talk about the banquet first." Frajos had no choice but to forcibly divert the topic:

"We can talk a lot, whatever you want. However, since this is a party, I still think that we should follow the old habits. If you can't understand this, I can't take care of it because I can only prioritize the feelings of most of my guests. ”

"What are you doing all of a sudden?" Shi Huizhen didn't react.

"What are you carrying a sword for?" Vlahos gestured to her waist.

"Thales said you can't bring it to the banquet?" Shi Huizhen asked rhetorically.

"Uh......"

"Or did Socrates say it?"

"I'm the master here, can't I rule it?" Frajos felt like he was about to go around her.

"The master can't make unreasonable demands." Shi Huizhen insisted: "In the banquet hall, you can't use military discipline to manage everyone. Because of the rules of different places, in the final analysis, there must be a reason. ”

“……”

Frajos was speechless for a moment.

Shi Huizhen often insists on "reasoning" with others, and when she gets up, she can't stand even the good tempers of Tuhuan and Guo Kang. Frajos couldn't do anything about her, so he could only be dumbfounded by the side.

And Shi Huizhen soon found a ready-made example. She pointed to a young man in a robe with a sword next to her, and asked, "You don't want me to bring it, but why can he bring it?" ”

"He's a man, of course he can bring it. But you're not. Flahos replied with a spread of his hands.

"Thales said, men can bring it, I can't bring it?" Shi Huizhen still didn't believe it.

“……”

"Or did Socrates say it?"

"Why do you ask again......"

There is no explicit legal provision for this kind of thing, no scriptural account, not even a Roman Confucian, bishop, or imam who wrote it into his own commentary. Wouldn't that just be just made up? How can this be convincing? Shi Huizhen questioned.

"So, I think you'll have to at least give a theoretical source. Otherwise, wouldn't it be okay for me to say that women's sabers are the content of my hometown's traditions, and the morality that is respected in the locality? ”

Only then did Frajos realize that the other party might have deliberately constructed a logical trap to lead him into sophistry. But he still had some doubts, did this man really have this kind of wisdom?

According to her previous understanding, she didn't like reading very much since she was a child, that is, at the level of rough writing and ink, and she had read some enlightenment books. It was only recently that the queen and princess forced her to read some books. Judging from the previous performance, it really doesn't look like a lot of culture, I don't know what's going on.

So, the slippery Frajos immediately decided that he should fight the opposite side in the aspect he was most familiar with. He's already made a lot of mistakes, so he's going to have to be careful.

He thought about it and found a reason.

"It is contrary to traditional virtue for a woman to carry a sword." He declared: "In the play Medea, a mad, brutal Gentile woman is depicted. Unlike the Greek woman, she behaved like a man. And in the end, it was her own heir who she killed with her sword. ”

"The people of that time had a good understanding of such women and the fate they would incur. These experiences and wisdom are the wealth that drama has passed on to us. We ......"

"How much can you study in one play?" Shi Huizhen didn't believe it and interrupted him directly.

"Drama and philosophy are mutually influential, both are part of Greek culture. If you understood the theory of the sage Aristotle, you would not have made such a rude statement. Frajos clearly meant something.

"Isn't that still the lesson learned from 2,000 years ago?" Shi Huizhen asked.

"It's not a simple collection of experiences, it's systematic thinking and reasoning. The core of philosophy is rationality, which is different from the shallow thinking that you come into contact with every day. Seeing that she was really entangled, and that she was probably hooked, Frajos smiled narrowly and said.

"So what makes sense...... Isn't science still what Yasheng said a long time ago? Am I right? Shi Huizhen pointed out: "I don't think it will help you win now." This is probably an outdated old thing! ”
