If you think about it, this setting seems to be quite emotional. Although it cannot be presented as a historical argument, it can be written as a script. It is estimated that the Greeks will be very fond of this kind of tragic heroic story......

"But then again, it's probably not going to be 'correct' on this topic." Guo Kang thought for a moment and said, "Because we don't even know if this kind of correct conclusion exists." ”

"Theoretically, the people of the Central Plains are too pragmatic, which will indeed affect the development of philosophy. Moreover, there is another important issue, that is, the 'history' of the Central Plains also assumes the role of 'scripture'. ”

"With the gradual fading of ancient witchcraft, history has essentially become a common belief of the Chinese lineage, partially replacing the function of religion. As one of the different roles of wizards, the historian has actually become a 'realist wizard'. However, the changes in this regard have also led to the belief of the Central Plains people being too much in line with reality. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?" Zhu Wenkui said in surprise.

"Yes and no." Guo Kang shook his head: "Theological research can go from empty to empty. Theoretically, it only takes a few conclusions that everyone agrees on to deduce a whole set of conclusions. The most typical of these is the proof of the existence of the Father. Just ask your sister, that's what she told me at the time. ”

"Is that what you say?" Zhu Wenkui said curiously.

"Didn't I tell you about it, and more than once, did I?" Jeanne asked, "Haven't you read Dr. Angel's book?" ”

"Who's that?" Zhu Wenkui was still at a loss.

"Thomas Aquinas." Guo Kang knew better than him and reminded him.

"Ah, there are so many nicknames that I can't even remember......," Zhu Wenkui said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Guo Kang nodded his head to show understanding.

In these days, famous theologians have fixed nicknames, and they are generally very ...... Form 2.

In addition to Aquinas named Doctor Angel, there is also Bonaventura called "Doctor Seraphim" - those who don't know may think that this is the result of some kind of super-evolution like Aquinas and Pokemon.

In contrast, Albert, who is called "Doctor All-Knowing", Anthony, who is called "Doctor Gospel" and "Hammer of Heresy", is already relatively normal, at least it can be seen that it is a religious-related name.

In addition, there are a large number of such as "Doctor Invincible" Occam's William, "Doctor Strange" Rogier Bacon, "Doctor Love" Bernardo, and so on.

These titles or nicknames are generally exclusive and belong to a special honor. Those who know the know only need to mention this kind of honorific title to know who it is. But those who don't understand may not even know what these people do......

"You'd better just say your name." Guo Kang told Jeanne: "It's good that we can remember the name......

"Okay......" Jeanne nodded her head: "To put it simply, the reason why this person has a high status in the church is because he has created a new way to prove the existence of the Father." ”

"Can this still be proven?" Zhu Wenkui asked.

That's what theologians study. Before him, there were already people who argued for the existence of the Father from the level of conceptual analysis, but he believed that that method was not perfect enough, so he proposed a logical analysis method. Jeanne told him, "If you want me to say, you better go and see." ”

"Many philosophers and theologians have studied various analyses of words through language – 'Logos' is the meaning of language, and there is Logos in discourse. The scriptures also say, 'In the beginning was a word, and the word was with God, and the word is God.'" Apparently the same concept is here. ”

However, the Chinese language does not have such a complex form, so it lacks the variety of variations and analysis methods that arise from it, and it is even difficult to translate and understand. I think it's better to learn a little bit from other directions. ”

"Compared with the previous arguments, Aquinas's analysis is much more concise and clear, even for Orientals, it is easier to understand."

"Chinese is really not good for the study of philosophy...... Zhu Wenkui muttered.

"It's not a system thing in the first place. The gap between civilizations on our side is too great. Guo Kang shook his head.

"In the time of the pharaohs, the Egyptians were able to import spices and textiles from India, as well as tin ore from England and Spain. This route can be traced back to 2,000 years before the era of the Heavenly Brothers. At the same time, Mesopotamians were able to obtain tin from Afghanistan and import copper from the Red Sea to East Africa. ”

"As early as the Ptolemaic period, it was possible to establish diplomacy with the Mauryan Dynasty and set up permanent ambassadors. Later, at the banquets of Western European nobles, Indian circuses could also be invited to perform elephant performances. It can be said that from India to Ireland, it is actually a whole. Their connection is actually very close. ”

"On the contrary, it is very difficult to cross Central Asia. The whole of Asia and Europa, the hardest way to go is here. Even Alexander did not manage to pass through this area. ”

"It's the same to the south. Indians began to spread to the South Seas very early, and the south and west of what is now Cochin are deeply influenced by Indian culture. The Khmer and Siamese kings even took pride in their high-ranking Indian lineage, using it as one of the grounds for legitimacy. But at this point, it stopped, and never continued eastward. ”

"We can draw a line from the storm-prone South China Sea, through the rainforest west of Cochin, the plateau east of Tianzhu, and the desert of central Asia. This line separates the civilizations on both sides. I think it is this geographical isolation that has formed two very different groups of civilizations. ”

"Collective? How do I think there is a numbered civilization to the east of this line, and everything else is derived from it......" Little Jeanne complained.

"Because people were a group from the beginning." Guo Kang defended: "'Central Plains civilization' is a concept summarized by later generations, in fact, there are many different civilizations in this place, but they are all lost later, and the west has no such luck." ”

"You think, if Khuslau really succeeded in annexing Rome and stabilizing the Kushan homeland, then in a few hundred years to the west, it is estimated that there will only be one left. It's not impossible to do this kind of thing, it's just that it's too late here, and I haven't practiced it. ”

"That means that the civilization here is not unified, and the Persians are to blame for fighting too much." Zhu Wenkui concluded: "I feel that in the classical era, they were the most capable of this. ”

"Don't talk about it next time." Jeanne Jr. decided to stop him.
