In the afternoon, the weather in Shencheng changed to a cloudy face.

There is no cloudy smell though.

Fang Nian took Lu Weiyu's hand and walked into a niche café by the Pujiang River.

There are not many customers in the store, and I don't know if the coffee is not good or the price is too expensive.

After seeing the menu, the naïve ghost Fang Nian suddenly strongly recommended Lu Weiyu to let her order 'Flat White'.

Although Lu Weiyu worked as a cashier in a café, she didn't know much about coffee - she didn't like coffee very much now.

So Lu Weiyu listened to Fang Nian's flickering.

And Fang Nian ordered a cup of fruit drink that would taste good by looking at the fruit in the name.

Soon, the waiter brought a drink, Fang Nian drank it beautifully, and Lu Weiyu frowned after taking the first sip.

Then he had to pretend to be casual and say, "It's really delicious, let's drink it instead." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the straw.

Fang Nian couldn't hold back and laughed, but he still had to say seriously: "Since you want to change the drink, the straw also has to be changed." ”

Lu Weiyu understood now: "Xiao Fang, your current thoughts are a bit dangerous~"

Fang Nian didn't hide it, blinked his eyes, and made it clear that this was what he meant.

Lu Weiyu thought for a while, and said seemingly casually: "It's better to order a new cup and change it." ”

Fang Nian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly there was a rich smile: "Okay." ”

After changing to a new drink, Lu Weiyu took a few sips before exchanging with Fang Nian, and deliberately gritted her teeth and said, "Now you are satisfied, naïve ghost!"

Fang Nian nodded with a hippie smile, and his heart was bubbling with beauty......

As for why Lu Weiyu frowned and couldn't drink the cup of 'Flat White'.

The reason is simple.

Compared with 'Flat White', another name is more familiar to Chinese, that is, Starbucks' main recommendation of Fu Rui Bai 15 years later.

The rumored taste is somewhere between a latte and a cappuccino.

As for the real taste, it can only be said that there are opinions of opinion.

Fang Nian always remembered that when he went to Starbucks once, when he saw the name of this Wenqing, he immediately ordered a cup excitedly, probably three sips.

Then I didn't go to Starbucks for at least five months.

At that time, he frowned like Lu Weiyu now, and the feeling was still fresh in his memory: the first sip thought it was uneven, the second sip thought it was wrong, and the third sip was sure that it was true, it was just unpleasant.

After changing the drink, Lu Weiyu suddenly talked about 'greedy and fun'.

"I've often seen your company's publicity on the news this month, and it seems that you're still doing some kind of competition recently?"

Fang Nian hummed: "I don't know the specific things, it is said to be very successful." ”

After saying a few words, Lu Wei's words changed: "Is that your assets rising a lot?"

Fang Nian thought for a while and replied: "The specific statistics will not be known until the first of next month, but from October 7th to now, the operating income has increased by at least 100 million, which may be a lot." ”

"I opened a tea restaurant with my own money, which will open at the beginning of next month, so now I only have 8 million in personal assets. Then Fang Nian said solemnly: "How is it, does it feel like a step closer?"

Lu Weiyu's eyes moved up and down slightly, and then said seriously: "It's really shrunk." ”

“......”

Before dinner, Fang Nian sent Lu Weiyu downstairs to the rental house, and then rushed back to Fudan.

............

............

In the evening, a pure free discussion class in the first class of philosophy of the 09th grade.

There is no professor, and it is impossible to roll names, and there are no credits, relying on self-consciousness.

So there will be people who miss class.

On Tuesday, Fang Nian promised Su Yi that they would come to the discussion class, so naturally they would not be absent.

The topic of this discussion is divergent liberal discussion: Can freedom of thought and political philosophy coexist?

It is considered homework, and the next seminar class will make a concluding speech.

This is one of them.

The second is that students who are able to do so can ask senior seniors to lead discussions on some slightly more complex propositions, which can not be limited to philosophy.

If you have the ability and resources, you can invite doctoral students to come.

So, Su Yi and Gao Jie invited a graduate student from the department to the group.

When Fang Nian arrived in the classroom, the group members arrived at one, Luo Qiao.

"Have you eaten, do you want to have a snack? ”

Luo Qiao was busy eating potato chips and other snacks, like a hamster, his cheeks bulging, and when he saw Fang Nian, he hurriedly said.

Fang Nian rubbed the tip of his nose with his left thumb, knocked back the uncontrollable laughter, and replied with a smile: "I have eaten, thank you." ”

Luo Qiao sighed and continued to 'click~click~' and stuffed three different snacks into his mouth.

Fang Nian took advantage of the situation and sat on Luo Qiao's side, watching with interest as no one next to Luo Qiao eating snacks.

On Rocho's desk is "The Pence of Socrates", occasionally turning a page.

Fang Nian even had the heart to observe Luo Qiao's swallowing times.

He suspected that Rojo was thinking like a hamster, and he always felt that he couldn't eat enough, so he had to hide some in his cheeks.

A short time later, Zeng Yiren walked in through the back door of the classroom.

After saying hello to Fang Nian, he sat next to Luo Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, if you eat like this again, you will die of fat." ”

Luo Qiao snorted: "Nonsense, I haven't even eaten a bag of potato chips, how can I be fat!"

When he spoke, he didn't miss any food in his mouth.

Inexplicably, Fang Nian remembered a certain adapted lyric that he didn't know when he had heard.

"I secretly hid a lollipop, and I said that I was fat~Hmph, anyway, I was the most beautiful~"

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a slight commotion from the back of the classroom.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Su Yi and Gao Jie.

It's been almost a semester, and Su Yi and Gao Jie's voices can still be distinguished.

"Ah, you're all here. Su Yu chirped.

Then he pointed to the young man who came with them and said, "Senior Cheng Qian, let me introduce you, this is Yiren, this is Qiaoqiao, and this is Fang Nian." ”

Cheng Qian, who wears glasses and is well-dressed, looks about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, perhaps because he is in graduate school, and looks a little older.

Cheng Qian politely greeted Zeng Yiren and Luo Qiao.

Then he looked at Fang Nian, smiled, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "Cheng Qian, it's a pleasure to meet you, classmate Fang Nian." ”

Fang Nian hurriedly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello Senior Cheng Qian, Fang Nian, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Fang Nian's group came relatively early, everyone arrived, and there was no need to wait for others, so they gathered at a table to start discussing.

In this group, Su Yi is always the one who talks the most.

"Senior Cheng, can I ask an off-topic question first. ”

Cheng Qian pushed his glasses, and his face softened: "You say." ”

Su Yi asked without any twist: "Why do we want to study this political philosophy problem, and many of the topics discussed since this semester are useless, just count credits, and it won't be good." ”

Cheng Qian replied in a soothing tone: "I had doubts about this question when I first entered Fudan University;

Now that I look back and look back, I realize that in fact, this arrangement of the school is to allow us to have a broader and comprehensive exposure to some knowledge content during the university.

In particular, a subject like philosophy is a big problem that is studied in a wide range of fields, and sometimes it seems that it is completely impossible to concrete. ”

After a pause, Cheng Qian smiled and said: "If it is specific to the category of political philosophy, there is another reason, but it is a bit of a bad word about the school;

At present, the study of philosophy in China is not as comprehensive as that of the West to some extent, for example, there is no content such as political philosophy in the current curriculum, but it cannot be completely understood. ”

As soon as Cheng Qian explained this, the meaning was very clear.

For practical reasons, the opening of the course is not enough for the time being, but some of the problems that are within the scope of the foundation must be dabbled in by the students, otherwise the students will suffer losses in the future.

As for saying that some disciplines are not as good as the West in terms of construction, in fact, Fudan may not deny it.

Because there are some disciplines that themselves belong to the construction of the West or the world trend.

Whether it is in the cultivation of talents or the teaching staff, there is a gap.

According to Fang Nian's hearsay news, it is said that the Fudan Philosophy Department is awesome because some cattle have joined, and now, those cattle have not come.

Learning this thing is not only learned today, but also must be learned tomorrow.

The guidance of seniors, teachers, and professors is also very important.

For example, now, Su Yi's puzzled questions are very simple for Cheng Qian.

After Cheng Qian explained this, he took the initiative to provoke the topic: "You are now dabbling in the best introductory essay on political philosophy, and I heard that you have finished discussing the first part of Socrates' defense. ”

"Yes, we have all watched the second part of the verdict and the third part of the final speech. ”

“......”

Under the leadership of Cheng Qian, several people quickly began to discuss.

Fang Nian also expressed his opinion: "Socrates did not advocate the general utility or unlimited speech of freedom, on the contrary, he maintained the argument at the end of the defense......

Life is lonely, but there is value in living. ”

Moreover, Socrates confidently and boldly expressed to the 'audience' that "an unexamined life is not worth living", and it seems to me that he did a perfect job even to die......

"But our current interpretation may not be the meaning of Plato's image......"

“......”

After starting the discussion, Cheng Qian's words decreased a lot.

Finally, he made a simple summary: "We are just discussing, not debating, Fang Nian's views are very good, discussion and discussion are enough, and self-thinking cannot be replaced by others." ”

Hearing this, Fang Nian explained: "I happened to finish reading "Defense" before, so I had more ideas. ”

After these words fell, Luo Qiao suddenly understood: "I see, I said why did you talk so deeply in the last discussion class." ”

There was a strange light in several pairs of eyes.

Excellence is such a thing, even if it is hidden in the body, it will emanate from the pores of the body.

Almost at the end, Fang Nian took out a book from his backpack and asked politely and seriously: "Senior Cheng, have you ever studied cognitive philosophy......

From Cheng Qian's occasional words, Fang Nian heard a familiar taste, so he asked.

Then he added: "Ah, I'm just curious to ask, are the philosophical predecessors in our school studying cognitive philosophy?" ”

This book is the original English book that Fang Nian found in the Fudan Library, which is difficult to read for the time being: Mind: Introduction to Cognitive Science.

Cheng Qian's eyes lit up: "Fang Nian, are you reading the original Introduction to Cognitive Philosophy?"

He suddenly became gushing: "Actually, this discipline is relatively broad, and the current research questions are also very broad, such as the framework problem, huh...... This is a problem in intelligence, similar to the smartphone in the advertisement, such as the famous Apple......

This question has a lot to do with epistemology, so my mentor is also taking us to study something similar. ”

“......”

Cheng Qian stood in a corner of the classroom, gestured, and said with a bright face: "For example, when we describe the cognitive process, especially the inductive process, we will make some judgments......

“......”

Then Cheng Qian found that only Fang Nian was listening carefully, and Su Yi and the others were completely at a loss.

So Cheng Qian hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I accidentally said it wrong, classmate Fang Nian, you want to ask if there is a way to reduce the difficulty of reading the original book." ”

Fang Nian nodded and said frankly: "My vocabulary is not enough, there are too many professional words in this book. ”

Cheng Qian thought for a while and said, "If you have the right time now, you can go to the dormitory with me, I have an introduction to cognition that I used to annotate when I read it, which should be more convenient than reading the original book directly." ”

Fang Nian blinked: "Ah, I'm ......"

Cheng Qian waved his hand: "You're welcome, it's just a trivial matter." ”

"Fang Nian, Senior Cheng, what did you just say?" asked Su Yi in confusion.

Cheng Qian explained: "I'm just casually saying that Fang Nian is dabbling in the discipline of cognitive philosophy. ”

Gao Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "I seem to have seen this book, it is only in English, and it is very difficult to read. ”

"Hopefully the next time we discuss this course, we can follow suit. Luo Qiao said with a grin.

Zeng Yiren echoed: "I think so too, come on Fang Nian!"
