To whet the audience's appetite a little, Gao Hanwen continued
"In order to prove these conclusions or the minor premise and major premise of these conclusions, Plato divided the knowledge to be demonstrated into two areas, one One is to establish new knowledge in the field of old truth, and the other is to expand the boundaries of knowledge in new fields.
Specifically, the former is the major premise, and the minor premise has already established truth, based on the truth. To derive the truth, you only need to use the logical framework just now to derive it. Plato also called this method deductive method.
The other is that there is no definite truth in at least one of the major premise or the minor premise. We need to develop knowledge in a new field. At this time, simple logic cannot guarantee the stability of the truth. We need to summarize such principles in real events or practice and draw consistent rules when we accumulate enough events. Ensure that this conclusion or point of view can be realized. Plato also called this method the induction method.
Since the induction method is only a limited number of repetitions, special attention will be paid to it once it is separated from it. If the premise or situation of the incident is repeated, the conclusion may not be valid.
I will give the example of the threesome just now.
Although, in experience, everyone can observe the relationship between people. There are differences among people, and people have the ability to learn from each other.
But is this premise absolutely true? I don’t think so. What if these three people are all fools? Fools have no ability to learn. Or three people are slaves of a barbarian tribe. They eat, live and work together every day and die before they are 30 years old. They are all slaves and they cannot see the difference between them.
Therefore, from the perspective of logical induction, Confucius's words are not absolutely applicable. Confucius's words are aimed at us normal Chinese Miao people with a prosperous civilization. Otherwise, Confucius is talking like a chicken. Playing the piano to a cow.
It can be seen that Western learning and Chinese civilization are mutually reinforcing."
Gao Hanwen spoke for a full hour on the stage before the speech ended. He thought he was well prepared, but as he talked about it, he discovered that there were still many shortcomings.
How to open up the commonalities between Chinese civilization and European and Western civilization, so that everyone has the courage to accept Western and Western learning, is still the most critical and troublesome issue.
When the meeting was over, the leader of the rostrum, Zheng Michang and others, had already escaped by urinating. The Confucian official position is relatively low, so I had no choice but to stay there. At first I felt repulsive, but later I listened attentively. He most attentively touched the three students in the audience plus Zhang Xunfu.
Although the scene is embarrassing, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Gao Hanwen still managed to hold on.
The unexpected result was that three disciples asked to become disciples on the spot. As a result, two disciples and a little fan girl were gained on the spot.
At this time, Gao Hanwen experienced the benefits of reading.
Even Zhang XunfuHe was about to bow his head, but was stopped when Gao Hanwen showed up as a couple to bow to each other.
After the meeting, Gao Hanwen naturally returned to the Yamen with Zhang Xunfu. Zhang Xunfu kept talking to himself on the way. Finally, when he saw that he was approaching the magistrate's office, Zhang Xunfu asked
"Master Gao, according to your statement, Chinese civilization and Western learning are actually the same." Origin and flow are all based on the cognitive framework of God's innate talent. However, the sage named Plato summed up logic to know and create new knowledge, while our sage Confucius and the Neo-Confucian psychology of later generations summed up Reason and heart guide behavior.
If this is the case, then we really have to thank Mr. Gao for his contribution to Chinese civilization and Confucianism. Western learning is like the reunion of brothers who have been separated for thousands of years. It’s a matter of fact, but it’s really a great achievement to be able to introduce it to Master Gao.”
After Zhang Xunfu finished speaking, he wanted to kneel down on behalf of Confucianism, but Gao Hanwen stopped him with great effort.
After sending Zhang Xunfu away, Gao Hanwen was a little petrified.
Isn’t it true that old masters are all stubborn? Why are they so enlightened?
Also, can anyone explain to me how Confucianism and Western learning have the same origin but different currents? Brothers, let’s talk about Neo-Confucianism and Xinxue. What exactly are they talking about? I’m going to make up for it myself. Tradition should not just talk about the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, and the son. Why should they all be traced back to God?
Finally, the word God is so good. I just borrowed it from later generations to translate it, and I was able to make the natives of the Ming Dynasty accept Western learning.
Gao Hanwen was completely confused. When he returned to the study, he still didn’t see Jin Cuilan. Fortunately, the desk had been wiped clean.
Hurry up and make up for the Neo-Confucian and psychological knowledge that your predecessor, Gao Hanwen, missed while concentrating on studying the Four Books. By this time, Gao Hanwen almost understood that using some concepts from Confucianism to compare with Western learning could greatly accelerate the spread of Western learning.
When enough people spread it, people will naturally question so many unreasonable factors in Confucianism.
We need to step up our efforts, and we need to take advantage of the fact that many people have not yet reacted, and accelerate the spread until it cannot be stopped in the future. In fact, as long as a certain number is enough, once the seeds of doubt are planted, no one can eradicate them.
Thinking of this, Gao Hanwen became more and more interested in reading. He held a lamp to read at night without anyone coming to light it.
His time is too limited now. He has to do academic work and government affairs, and there are a lot of things that are holding him back.
Jin Cuilan came to wake her up early the next morning. Because one of his students came to be his teacher.
It’s just that Jin Cuilan looked a little unkind and muttered in a low voice, “I thought you were a young lady because you were not close to women, but you didn’t expect the requirements to be so high. Don’t worry, sir, you won’t be an eyesore anymore.”
"What did you say?" Gao Hanwen couldn't understand while washing. After putting down the kerchief and rinsing his mouth, he walked to the door and happened to meet the housekeeper. He asked about it before he found out.
Good guy, this Jin Cuilan has been unable to seduce me for a long time. In the spirit of the birds,Lin's principle of not having a bird in hand has been blended with the yamen's disciples. Actually still married. Menzi's first wife passed away several years ago.
The other person who just came to call was her female disciple from yesterday. Jin Cuilan felt sour when she saw Ye Turtle and Zhenjia Que.
Good guy, if you give it up, won’t it mean that your teacher’s ethics will be problematic in the future, and naturally you won’t be able to be a good teacher. This female disciple must not be accepted.
Gao Hanwen felt a little jealous as he walked into the front office and found that all three disciples had arrived. It was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head, and I immediately calmed down.
It is still necessary to maintain the dignity of this teacher, no matter in later generations or in the Ming Dynasty.
After seeing the ceremony, I discovered that one of them was Zhu Geng from Shaoxing Prefecture and Shen Yiguan from Ningbo Prefecture. The former is 20 years old and the latter is 30 years old. At 30 years old, he is one year younger than himself. Can he still come to be a disciple?
Although he is embarrassed, Gao Hanwen still likes Shen Yiguan very much. If it weren’t for his reply on psychology yesterday, he would It is also unlikely that Western learning and Confucianism can be connected so smoothly. By the way, isn't this kind of person a historical celebrity? Aren't celebrities all like Zhang Juzheng, a young genius?
