"Sophie's World", a long time ago when it was very popular, I flipped it over and over and felt that I didn't understand it, so I had to put it away in a shelf. Now I flip through it again and again at my leisure, but... I lament why I didn’t watch it again sooner.

Sophie is a character in one of Sid's books. Sid's father wants to arouse Sid's philosophical heart a little by telling Sophie's story.

When Sid reads Sophie and we read Sid, then who reads us?

From Socrates, Plato, Aristotle to Descartes, Hegel, Kant...

The author Jostan Judd wrote in the last part, "If I ever taught Sophie anything, it was this: to have a critical thinking attitude."

A critical thinking attitude, this may be what the author means by what philosophers want to use People's ability to recover.

Let alone any critical attitude, just thinking, I feel that I am drifting away from the current era. In a world where information is exploding, celebrity gossip and current news are flooding the screen one after another. People seemed to be numbly consuming strips of fast food.

When someone gets divorced, immediately scold the cheating one for being shameless and wanton.

So and so got an incurable disease, oh, poor one. He donated money without saying a word. The next day, when he saw that his father still had money and a house, he quickly posted another thread to scold this shameless person.

Calling those rich people just for being rich is unkind and they deserve to go to hell.

The cycle repeats over and over again, one scandal after another comes in randomly, the thumb is sore from scratching, but the brain is waiting and stagnant. Time is wasted in vain, replacing piles of fast food information garbage, filling the so-called emptiness but failing to nourish the soul.

I don’t know when, maybe since children turned into adults, we rarely ask why or what is going on in the world. It seems that everyone already knows the answer as a matter of course, just like the author said that people have long been accustomed to gravity, and at the same time they have quickly become accustomed to everything in the world. As we grow up, we seem to lose our curiosity about the world.

"Dear Sophie, I don't want you to become a person who takes this world for granted when you grow up."

"Why are philosophers philosophers? Because Philosophers are as sensitive as children throughout their lives. "Yes, we have long been adults, and we may not be as sensitive as children. We may have left such profound questions as "Where do you come from and where are you going?" Philosophers go to great lengths. However, even if you are not a philosopher, thinking is an extremely important ability and an extremely critical survival skill. In the most ordinary and ordinary life, it plays an important role, and thinking gives meaning to life.

Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am. When I doubt the existence of everything, I don't have to doubt my own thoughts, because the only thing I can be sure of at this time is the existence of my own thoughts. ".

On Kant's tombstone is engraved one of his most frequently quoted sayings: 'There are two things that the more I think about them, the more miraculous they become, and the more awe-filled my heart becomes, and that is the starry sky above my head. With my inner moral compass. They confirmed to me that God is above me and in my heart. ”

Thinking makes this big world different in your own eyes. It belongs to the public, and it belongs to my own small world. Use your own thinking mode to think, meditate, and empower This small world has its own attributes, and you will find it so lovely.

A coin has its two sides, not to mention the thousands of things in this world. I see things' differently. We can never know for sure how things ‘really’ look. All we know is what we ‘see’ with our eyes. From another perspective, we can predict before every experience how our minds will perceive things. ”

So when a certain problem or thing comes to us, can we use Kant’s concept to think about whether what we are thinking about at the moment is “the thing in my eyes” or “the thing itself”.

Hegel said that the way of thinking is affected by the traditional ideological trend and the material conditions of the time, so it can never be claimed that any kind of thought is always right. Generally speaking, this idea may be correct. Every new idea is usually based on the old ideas of the previous people. Once a new idea is proposed, another idea that conflicts with it will immediately appear. , so a tension will arise between these two opposing ideas, but this tension will be somewhat eliminated by someone proposing another idea that combines the strengths of the two ideas.

The questions seem very simple and can be seen to the end at a glance. Some questions are always complicated. The answers continue to change with the passage of time and quietly become more complete. The basis of human cognition changes from generation to generation, so there is no eternal truth in the world. ', there is no 'permanent rationality', so thinking requires more critical thinking.

Sophie finally escaped from this book, but what about us? Who said "life is an escape"? Where are we escaping to?

For the universe, we are just the stardust of this world. Perhaps through the use of critical thinking, generations of philosophers are stacked one on top like a stack of Arhats, and the younger generations stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and work hard. Climb upward, and one day we will finally be able to reach the top truth.
