At the inspection envoy Zhang Xunfu, Gao Hanwen explained his entry point, medicine. It is absolutely guaranteed that no one will be offended except the conservative doctors. After all, no one wants to die.
It is indeed a good idea to start with a doctor. Because in this era, it is not only a good appearance but also a good doctor. Medical books are also written by scholars. If the diagnoses, prescriptions, and medicinal materials recorded in it are flawed, it can be naturally deduced that Confucian scholars are not omnipotent.
Since it is Confucianism that dominates the behavior of Confucian students, the next natural step is to deny the sanctity of Confucianism. Of course, this is not to discredit Confucianism, as long as it is not Almighty God.
Zhang Xunfu also saw Gao Hanwen's intention. Although as a Confucian scholar, he should not doubt the sage. But the reason why the Holy Master is called the Holy Master instead of the Holy Immortal shows that he is a human being and not a god. This is also the premise that Confucianism needs to continuously absorb other ideas to develop and grow.
Historically, the key to the development of Confucianism is the integration of Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.
However, now that the entire Ming Dynasty has accepted Confucianism as orthodox, is it necessary to absorb other knowledge? If this necessity is not made clear, it will be untenable once it is attacked.
"Is Confucianism a universal truth, is it the knowledge of all people in the world, and should it benefit people all over the world?" Gao Han did not directly answer Zhang Xunfu's question, but instead raised a new question.
"Of course," Zhang Xunfu replied firmly, and he came to his senses after answering. If Confucianism does not preach to the world, how can it prove that it is truly a universal truth? If Confucianism wants to preach to the world, it naturally needs to absorb global culture. Just like in history, it absorbed Taoist thought to gain a firm foothold in the Han Dynasty, and absorbed Buddhist thought to gain a firm foothold in the Han Dynasty. The Song Dynasty flourished all over the world.
"Young man, we Confucian disciples have been unable to retreat and have lost the spirit of Confucius who traveled around the world to preach for many years. The decline of the Song Dynasty completely interrupted the expansion of Confucianism, so that today, I I almost don’t understand your intention. Good, good, good, preaching to the world, indeed absorbing the roots of the world’s learning, including Taixi’s learning.”
“But the world is infinite, and the Ming Dynasty is limited. If Confucianism is "Departing from the Ming Dynasty, have you thought about the emperor's reaction?" Zhang Xunfu paused for a moment and then helped Gao Hanwen sort out his thoughts from the aspect of being wise and protecting oneself
"Don't worry, if Confucianism is universal truth, then Confucianism Wherever it goes, the Ming Dynasty will naturally be there. If not, wouldn't it be a conservative thing to reject the new learning? And if you don't try, it will never be proven whether Confucianism is the truth. This will only bury the value of Confucianism." Gao Hanwen put forward such a paradox .
"Okay, I hope what you said will come true, and then all the Confucian scholars in the world will depend on your actions today." Zhang Xunfu thanked him formally.
Yes, if any Confucian scholar dares to prevent the correctness of his Confucianism and keeps Confucianism in a state of ignorance that cannot be verified or falsified, wouldn't it be deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.
As for preaching to the world, Gao Hanwen knew how Westerners would make a lot of money through this operation in the next few centuries.The bowl is full, I hope middle school can catch up.
It was almost dark when I came back from Zhang Xunfu’s place.
Gao Hanwen, who discovered that his duties at the yamen had already been dismissed, felt for a moment that he was evil because he was not at the yamen officially and was making things difficult for others. Fortunately, Zhu Xiaoyou is still here, because several students are coming over for discussion today, so Zhu Xiaoyou will be responsible for staying and taking notes. Eat together.
Gao Hanwen, who had just come back, told Zhu Xiaoyou that if he was not around in the future, he would be responsible for receiving and filing the official documents and cases of the prefect’s yamen in a unified way. Three trips.
Li Shizhen, the miracle doctor, wants to be obedient at Xiaolian Tea House and will not come back for dinner with Old Man Yu and Guo Xiaozi. It seems that Mr. Lai Qi will still be with Yang Jinshui.
My two disciples are still very smart. Today’s debate topic is which one is better, the deductive method or the inductive method.
It is a very common debate question that puts it down to later generations of universities. .
But unlike later debate competitions that only focused on form or even distorted form, here more emphasis is placed on substantive discussion of the topic.
After discussion, not only the two disciples, but also Zhu Xiaoyou and Xu Youzhi understood the differences in application scenarios and conditions of the two research methods.
Since the deductive method is based on truth, as long as the prerequisites of truth are established, the conclusion drawn by deduction is absolutely true. Therefore, when applying the deductive method, it is necessary to first determine the correctness of the truth itself and the consistency of the current conditions with the truth conditions.
On this basis, Shen Guangyuan also emphasized the uniqueness of the conclusion of truth, that is, the conclusion of the same truth on the same event can only be in one direction and must not contradict itself. If it contradicts itself, then there is something wrong with the truth itself, or the truth is applied under two different conditions to draw a conclusion, and then the conditions are extracted to make a void comparison in the same scene.
This idea has a tendency of dialectics. Doesn’t the so-called dialectics mean that everything always has a main line, a principal contradiction, and a main aspect of the contradiction?
If we use this idea to If you examine Confucianism, you will find a lot of bugs, because according to the Confucian thoughts of benevolence and righteousness guiding behavior, people cannot maintain logical stability and may produce contradictory results.
Because although Confucianism advocates loyalty and filial piety to govern the country, due to conceptual definition issues, benevolence and righteousness cannot always lead to loyalty and filial piety. Although, there are also theoretical patches such as "treating ministers like grass and grass, and ministers treating the emperor like enemy bandits" and "suffering with a small stick and walking away with a big stick". However, conclusions derived based on personal inner qualities cannot necessarily be extrapolated to macro-state governance. Because "benevolence and righteousness" are not the same between people, there are differences in the categories that require benevolence and righteousness, and there are also differences in the structural order of the two words benevolence and righteousness.
Shen Yiguan even gave an example from the Analects of Confucius: Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. In fact, if white rice that the rich don't like is given to the poor, the poor will still like it very much.
Unfortunately, since both students are still focusing on the academic aspects of ethical philosophy, there is no one who can guide them.economics. Otherwise, the argument for the distinction between macroeconomics and microeconomics might have appeared earlier.
Obviously, the younger Zhu Geng is also a fellow countryman of his, and he is more analytical and inductive.
Human cognition has boundaries. When we want to break through the boundaries of existing truth, we naturally need induction. Summarize scattered cases into reliable rules to guide practice beyond existing cognitive limitations.
Also because induction is an empirical summary of phenomena that transcend cognitive truth, induction will only be stable and reliable in repeated experiments under the same conditions. Once the existing conditions are broken, we should be prepared for the summarized rules to be broken, and analyze the mechanism of this influencing factor through the conditions.
This idea has the flavor of later materialist epistemology.
Listening to the students' discussion, Xu Youzhi frowned, while Zhu Xiaoyou wrote furiously. Only Gao Hanwen broke out in cold sweat. Can I guide these two good seedlings blown by the strong wind?
