Chapter 301: Science
The national teacher used the words that most closely fit their cognition to tell them what are the main aspects of the contradiction, and what are the main contradictions and secondary contradictions.
It is precisely because the truth becomes clearer and clearer that they will realize that the national teacher does not seem to be the traitor who caused chaos in the court as rumored in the market.
This national teacher, like them, is a young man, and he has the ideal ambition of Kuang Shijimin.
Moreover, this national teacher is more knowledgeable than them, and he is more calm in handling things.
This undoubtedly made many people's attitudes towards Jiang Xinghuo and the law change begin to change.
It also made them reflect on what they had done after impulsively, and whether it would really benefit the Ming Dynasty's strong country and rich people.
"Dare to ask the national teacher, how Tai Chi works, since it has been clearly explained, can we talk about how to get out of heaven tonight? How can the grid of the theory of the nature of the mind make the nature of the human heart as clear as a mirror? ”
Professor Wang's words broke the silence in the crowd.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the students looking at Jiang Xinghuo became hot.
At this time, many people remembered that just now the national teacher only talked about the first problem of "how Tai Chi works".
Could it be that tonight, they will witness once and for all how the last three peak-like problems that stand in front of the Dao system have been removed?
It was destined to go down in history overnight.
Dao Yan under the tree, oh no, Yao Guangxiao, the Duke of Rongguo, looked at the eyes of the students, and said silently in his heart.
"Silly boy, you don't know that what is hidden behind these three questions is not the ultimate answer to science, but the science that will destroy science!"
Yes, the answer to the first question certainly explains the problem of "how to give birth to three" between two and three beings in one life in the "Theory of Heaven" in science.
But this is a philosophical problem, or in other words, as long as philosophers do not go to the religious aspect, the final conclusions reached are almost the same.
That is, there must be some kind of "Heavenly Principle", "Tao", "Universal Will" and the like in this world, and when it comes to yin and yang, using the contradiction theory with movement as the core, and looking at the problem from a dynamic point of view, it must also be able to solve the distress caused by the static philosophical view.
But for the science of science, it is a pity that Jiang Xinghuo only has an explanation of the first question, which can help them complete the edifice of science.
The second and third questions are Gewu and Gexin, respectively.
The answers to these two questions will destroy the "rational qi view" and "mind theory" of physical science from the foundation in a way that is ingenious and close to the theory of physical science.
Regardless of Yao Guangxiao's thoughts, Jiang Xinghuo replied in the face of Professor Wang's question.
"The second question, how to get out of the heavens, of course, can be answered, and the answer is not complicated, just fifteen words."
"Make bold assumptions, carefully verify, and practice can produce true knowledge."
Seeing that Professor Wang was a little dazed, Jiang Xinghuo explained in a way that he could understand.
"The so-called knowledge of the people who are in the study of things, who want to know what they want, and who is in the matter and exhausts their reason, is also taught by the "University", which will make the scholars, that is, all the things in the world, benefit the poor because of their known principles, so as to seek it to the extreme."
When Zhu Xi annotated the four books, he put a lot of effort into this sentence, that is, to exhaustively push the truth of things through Gewu, and the limit should also be reached.
In fact, this coincides with scientific research methods.
Of course, that's just that.
"Since we already know that contradiction is the manifestation of heavenly principles, then what we need to know is the manifestation of the contradiction of things."
"For example, the root cause of today's misunderstanding is that the rain has a heavenly reason, so what is it?"
"So if you think about it carefully, can we use 'bold assumptions, careful verification, and practice to produce true knowledge' to think about what the contradiction of rain is?"
Jiang Xinghuo's words made these students a little dazed.
No one told them what the contradiction of the rain really was, which was completely beyond their understanding.
"The contradiction of rain, is it rain or not? So why does the phenomenon of rain and no rain happen? What is the root cause of the transformation of rain from 'not falling' to 'falling'? ”
"If we assume that this root phenomenon is the concrete embodiment of the principles of heaven in things, then can we understand the raindrops in the same way as 'the more people there are, the more powerful the many'?"
"What has the rain experienced from the individual state of 'people' to the overall state of 'many'? What's the key to this? What factors contributed to the final result? ”
Jiang Xinghuo's words seemed to bring them to another cognitive world.
They never thought that the principles and contradictions of a thing could be analyzed so regularly.
It's a new way of thinking.
Some of the brighter minds were fascinated by it almost immediately, as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Oh, it turns out that the heavenly principles of things in this world really have a way to "Ge Wu"!
Jiang Xinghuo's words continued.
"We can all hypothesize these, or we can do experiments to verify them."
"We make bold assumptions again and again, and carefully verify them again and again, if we do it again and again, will there be a time when we can figure out the heavenly principles of something?"
"As long as there is a practical method of studying things, although there are many things, the principles of heaven will always be limited, and one day we will be infinitely close to understanding all the principles of heaven, or in other words, the principles of most things in our world."
That is to say, science itself is to make subjective understanding conform to objective reality, that is, the original appearance of objective things, including both real connections and laws of change, and through scientific experiments and practices, to create practical activities that conform to subjective understanding and objective reality.
When the knowledge of things is replaced by the scientific method of "bold assumptions, careful verification", and finally through experiments and inferences to prove the truth, once this view begins to circulate, then it may be nothing at first, but in the end, the edifice of science will inevitably be destroyed by one scientific system after another.
Because of science, it will eventually destroy the "rational qi concept" of science, and let people realize that there is no pure qi in this world, and the difference between a gentleman and a villain is not because the qi in the body is different, but only atoms, molecules, and so on that objectively exist in the world.
But at the moment, this initial beginning, the fifteen-character decision, really perfectly explains "how to understand the principles of heaven".
At this time, some students who could keep up with Jiang Xinghuo's thinking and realized the ingenuity of this method of learning from things, began to think about and put forward specific questions about how to study the "Heavenly Principles of Rain" through this methodology.
"Since the national teacher posted this article in the Di newspaper, he must have an idea about the heavenly principles of rain? If so, how do you verify it? ”
The person who looked at the question was the classmate next to Fan Weixing.
Jiang Xinghuo replied in a voice that most people could hear clearly.
"Jiang's hypothesis is that the rain is condensed by tiny, water-like cloud droplets."
"As for how to verify."
"Jiang will personally demonstrate the process of verification for everyone in March of the first year of Yongle."
When the words fell, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd of Guozi prisoners.
Jiang Xinghuo didn't mention the matter of flying to the sky, so they naturally didn't think of going up to the heavenly dome and using the silver iodide refined at a high price to catalyze the formation of rain.
Even if someone thinks about it, they don't think about flying into the sky, but they just think that they want to simulate the formation of rain on the ground through some method.
However, Jiang Xinghuo's hypothesis that "the rain is condensed by cloud droplets" instantly aroused the interest of many prisoners.
This is also the first time that these young people in the Ming Empire, who have received the best education and the most open-minded thinking, have felt the charm of scientific methodology.
This is a breakthrough from scratch.
In the original science, you will only be told that rain has a heavenly principle, but what the heavenly principle of rain is, how to guess it, and how to prove it, I don't know anything.
And the research methods of the national teachers have freed all of them from some kind of "shackles" in their thoughts.
They began to be like Wang Yang Mingge's bamboo in Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, imagining what the truth contained in things was.
Unlike Wang Yangming, who was exhausted after seven days and seven nights, they were lucky, with the guidance of Jiang Xinghuo's scientific methodology, at least, they knew that the first step was to make bold assumptions.
Jiang Xinghuo also gave his own hypothesis.
Whether it's right or wrong, never dare to think or think, this is the first step towards science for this group of young people.
This is the meaning of "borrowing chickens to hatch eggs", first borrowing the "knowledge of things" from science, incubating scientific research methods, and then a group of people have become believers in science from science, and accept and disseminate science in experiments again and again, and science will grow.
When it grows up, as science ignites its manufacturing power and the audience base begins to cultivate, then it will form a backfeed, and science will become an existence that is truly capable of competing with science or even completely destroying it.
And this is far more ingenious than taking science that has almost no believers in the first place, and does not lose the principle of scientific research.
"As for the third question, that is, the grid heart of the theory of mind, and how to make the nature of the human heart as clear as a mirror, Jiang also has an answer to this question, but it is not suitable to throw it out now, and when the empirical evidence of the second question is solved, we may as well continue to discuss it through the "Di Bao" in the future."
"National teacher, let's talk about it now!"
"yes, let's make it clear!"
Looking at the young people who were a little reluctant, Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand.
"It's late at night, go back and rest, the sun will rise tomorrow as usual."
Around Taiping Street, countless soldiers received orders to silently give these young people the way back to Guozijian.
A catastrophe that disappeared in the night.
