Chapter 1 Garden of Eden

< p>>> For him, there is certainly nothing wrong with this, because the straight dark hair does not grow on his head, and he does not have to endure that feeling.

Huang Zhizhong, cynicism, has no choice but can realize it. Once he refers to it in depth, it will be painful

>> She doesn’t know who she is. Isn’t it strange? ? She also has no right to choose her own appearance. Isn't this too unreasonable? She had to accept these things. Maybe she can choose who she wants to be friends with, but she can't choose who she wants to be. She didn't even choose to be human.

What is a person? She raised her head again and looked at the girl in the mirror.

>> If you don’t realize that you are going to die eventually, you can’t appreciate what it’s like to be alive.

The ultimate question of science and philosophy

>> Written on the paper:

Where did the world come from?

It is a difficult mystery of physics and philosophy. Things must have come into being from nothing. However, why and when this sudden change of inspiration appeared is unknown

< p> >> Everything that exists must have a beginning.

Chapter 2 The Magician's Top Hat

>> If I am interested in horses or gems, I cannot expect others to be the same as me. If I enjoy watching sports on television, I have to live with the fact that some people think sports are boring.

Really? We are no different from the little white rabbit. How can we know that the little white rabbit does not know that he is participating in a magic trick? Just like the creatures on the target, what we see is always limited

>> The only difference between us and the little white rabbit is that the little white rabbit does not understand that it is participating in a magic show. We are the opposite.

Extraordinary, in fact, there is never a moment when I don’t feel so, but there is never a moment when I don’t understand that among so many extraordinary things, I am so ordinary

>> You will Think: "I am an extraordinary existence. I am a mysterious creature.

Comfort zone, most human beings are happy to stay here and are unwilling to take a step. However, should there also be a comfort zone? What is the limit? How big does it take to step out of the comfort zone? But it is true that everyone is so different that it cannot be measured by a unified standard. Maybe when your step makes you satisfied. It's a pace that suits them.

>> They feel so comfortable there that they don't want to risk climbing back to the top of the fragile rabbit fur.

When their authority is challenged. irritation

>> "Don't talk to me like that, Sophie! "

Different - out of place. Even if the so-called smart people blend in with everyone, they still have a different feeling inside. They also think of cynicism, so why are most patients with high-functioning antisocial personality high-IQ talents? This may be the pain caused by being too smart

>> "You didn't go to get some medicine from others, did you? baby! ”

Page 7. Chapter Socrates

>> The wisest person is the one who understands his ignorance.

True wisdom comes from the heart.

Those who know right from wrong will be able to advance and retreat appropriately.

Chapter 8 Athenian Philosophy

How not? Man is the sum of social relations

>> Sophists believe that although we cannot know all nature The answer to the mystery is that human beings must learn how to live together.

Sophists are more like sociologists. In Marxism, human beings are not also defined as all social relations. The sum total, and man is also the subject of the existence of the entire historical development. The development of all concepts does indeed change around the changes in human needs

>> Sophist Protagoras (about 48 BC 5 ~ 410 BC) once said: "Man is the measure of everything. ” What he means is: Whether a thing is right or wrong, good or bad depends entirely on its relationship with human needs.

>> By feigning ignorance, Socrates forced the people he met to use their common sense. This way of pretending to be stupid and stupid is what we call "Socratic irony".

Chapter 9 Plato

Isn’t human reason a selfish gene? The only thing that remains unchanged is the desire to survive, but this desire will also change at certain moments. Strong emotions, love, and hate will all affect human reason

>> Because human reason is actually Eternal and unchangeable.

Where did the model of the horse come from? According to modern biology, horses did appear randomly at the beginning. There were no horses originally, but horses multiplied much, so we called them horses.

>> You can't just shake the box and create another horse. How could these building blocks automatically find each other and form a new horse again? No, this is not possible. You have to regroup. And you can do this because you already have an image of a horse in your mind, and the model you are referring to applies to all horses.

In fact, to change the way of thinking, in the popular fast-traveling small world, isn’t the main world an ideal world? What is the difference between the derivative world of fast-traveling and the model carved from the main world

> > Plato therefore came to a conclusion: "Behind the material world, there must be a reality. He called this reality the 'world of ideals', which contains the eternal and unchanging patterns that exist behind various phenomena in nature." This This unique point of view we call "Plato's theory of ideals".

Cave theory

>> Get out of the dark cave

Poor and great man

>> You could have run from here to In the countryside, he rejoiced in his newfound freedom, but he thought about those who were still in the cave.

Human bad nature and cowardice

>> In the end, they killed the man.

Chapter 10 Major’s Cabin

It’s just a coincidence, we just happen to survive these laws

>> Does the rain in the sky really have any purpose? ?

Chapter 11 Aristotle

>> When Aristotle talked about his views on society, he also advocated that people should not go to extremes. He said that humans are by nature "political animals." He claimed that people are not truly human if they do not exist in society. He points out that families and communities meet our basic needs for food, warmth, marriage and reproduction. But the spirit of human solidarity and unity can only be fully expressed in the country.

Chapter 12 Greek Culture

>> Cynic scholars emphasize that true happiness is not based on the advantages of the external environment - such as abundant material, strong political power and robustness. Body - above. Truly happy people do not depend on these fleeting things. At the same time, since happiness does not consist of such blessings, everyone can obtain happiness, and more importantly, once such happiness is obtained, it is impossible to lose it.

>> Epicurus summed up his philosophy with what he called the "Four Herbs":

"God is not to be feared, death is not to be feared, misfortunes are easy to endure, happiness is easy to endure Easy to ask for.”

Chapter 14 Two Cultures

Ah, absolutely

>> In addition, Jesus also said that we must love ours. Enemies, when they hit us, we must not retaliate. Not only that, we must also "turn the other cheek" to let them hit us. At the same time, we must forgive, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times.

>> In addition, Jesus also said that we must love our enemies and not retaliate when they hit us. Not only that, we must also "turn the other cheek" to them. Beat, and at the same time we must forgive, not just seven times, but seventy seven times.

>> When talking about Socrates, we find that if one appeals to people's reason, it can be very threatening to some people. Similarly, in Jesus, we also find that asking people to love others unconditionally and forgive others unconditionally may also cause great threats to some people. Even today, we can see that when people begin to demand peace and love, demand that the poor be freed from hunger, and that those in power pardon their political opponents, powerful forces may be overthrown overnight.

>> German poet Goethe once said: "Those who cannot learn from three thousand years of historical experience have no future."

Chapter 15 The Middle Ages

People cannot see the hope of resistance in the absurd, so they have doubts about life and whether their lives still have meaning. After being filled with the sense of absurdity, the “absurd man” will Suffering from "absurd disease", one feels that one is an "outsider" in this world, but one has no choice but to continue to live in a meaningless life. "Absurd disease" is a disease of anxiety and depression. Under such circumstances. , Camus divided absurd people into three types. The first type is the "physiological suicide", who chooses to disappear because he cannot bear the absurdity and meaninglessness of life. The second type is a passive escape attitude. "Philosophical suicides", many of them, choose rational escape through God and religion, escape into the sermons of irrational God, give up their own rational thinking, and therefore no longer perceive absurdity; But in fact, absurdity has never disappeared from life, and "philosophical suicide" is also a passive escape mentality. The third type is the "rebel", the "absurd hero" praised by Camus. p>

Chapter 16 Renaissance

>> We cannot let ourselves be washed away by the tide of history. Someone has to clean up what is left on the river bank.

>> Life is inherently sad and serious. We came to this beautiful world, met each other, greeted each other, and traveled together for a short period of time. Then we lost each other and disappeared inexplicably, just like us. Coming to the world suddenly and inexplicably

>> No era is completely good or completely bad. Good and evil are two threads that are intertwined from time to time in human history.

Descartes wrote: 'When I considered this question carefully, I found that there is no necessary difference between the state of man's waking state and his state of dreaming. .' He also said: 'How can you be sure that your life is not a dream?

>> He doubts everything, and this is the only thing he can be sure of at this time. Realize a truth: one thing must be true, that is, when he doubts, he must be thinking, and because he is thinking, he must be a thinking being. In his own words. It means: Cogito, ergosum. ”

“What does it mean? ”

“I think, therefore I am.”

> It stands to reason that I don’t. Knowing is a step towards acquiring new knowledge

Chapter 19 Spinoza

“I only know that our life may be just a dream”

Chapter 23 Bai Kelai

p>

Like sunlight to soil

Chapter 24 Enlightenment

>>

Therefore, to be or not to be is not the only question . The question is what we are. Are we really human beings of flesh and blood? Is our world made of real things? Or are we just surrounded by minds?

Every new world that is born should move forward with all its strength in the direction of getting rid of the shackles of its creator.

>> How to do it? "

"Of course the Major knows everything that happens in our little world, but that doesn't mean he is omnipotent. No matter what we have to pretend he is not like this and go about our lives as usual. "

>> How can it be done?"

"Of course the Major knows everything that happens in our little world, but this does not mean that he is omnipotent No matter what, we must pretend that he is not like this and live our lives as usual."

Obviously, the author is not omniscient about the world in the book. This is a premise. The author has the ability to determine the development direction of the world in the book. However, when the characters in the world in the book have souls, it is impossible for the author to take care of all the details. This gives the characters the ability and power to create independently.

>> The Major certainly knows everything that goes on in our little world, but that doesn't mean he's omnipotent.

Throughout all kinds of infinite novels, there are opportunities in the infinite world that allow survivors to discover the truth about the existence of the infinite world and the way to escape from the infinite world. This method is called Archimedean point.

Chapter 25 Kant

>> Kant’s theory is: the law of cause and effect is rooted in our hearts. He agreed with Hume and believed that since we cannot know for sure the true appearance of the world, we can only understand the world based on our own knowledge.

We can be clear that the essence of the same thing will not change. However, the senses we obtain may be different, but due to the limitations of external cognition, the answers we get may be the same. For example, the red in my mouth and the red in his mouth are both red, but what we see in our eyes may not be the same.

>> When you put on those red glasses, according to Kant, there are two factors that affect our understanding of the world

>> When you put on those red glasses When wearing red glasses, according to Kant, there are two factors that affect our understanding of the world

>> We cannot expect to understand what we are. Maybe we can understand a flower or an insect, but we can never understand ourselves

>> So when I do something, I have to make sure that I hope that others will do the same in the same situation Do the same thing

>> Kant also explained that the meaning of the 'Supreme Command' is: respect each person for himself, rather than treating him as a means to achieve some external end.

>> We cannot use ourselves as a means to achieve a certain end.

>> Kant was buried in K?nigsberg after his death. His tombstone is engraved with one of his most quoted quotes: "There are two things that become more magical the more I think about them, and the more awe fills my heart: the starry sky above my head and the moral code in my heart." They confirmed to me that God is above me and in my heart.

>> As long as we stick to our rationality, he cannot deceive us. Because in a way, we are free. He can make us 'perceive' all kinds of things, but nothing surprises me. Even if he made the sky darken and elephants fly, I would just smile. But seven plus five is always twelve. No matter how many tricks he pulls, this will still be a fact. Philosophy is the opposite of fairy tales.

Chapter 26 Romanticism

>> The young artistic genius Novalis once said: 'The world has become a dream, and the dream has become reality. '

Obviously the romantics are proud in their hearts, at least they think they are higher than the secular people. While they promote romanticism to the world, they hope to become a romantic world. However, romanticism The existence of a Christian cannot lack the work of secular people.

>> Someone once said: 'Idleness is the ideal of genius, laziness is the virtue of romantics. ’ A romantic’s job is to experience life—or to daydream and waste it. As for the daily affairs, just leave them to the lay people.

>> Someone once said: 'Idleness is the ideal of genius, laziness is the virtue of romantics. ’ A romantic’s job is to experience life—or to daydream and waste it. As for the daily affairs, just leave them to the lay people.

>> "Novaris himself died at the age of twenty-nine. He was one of those who 'died young'.

Many Romantics died young, usually from tuberculosis, and in some cases by suicide. ”

“Oh! "

"Those who lived longer usually gave up on Romanticism by about thirty, and some of them later became outright middle-class conservatives. "

>> As they say: 'Tell me where you live and I will tell you who you are.

The idea of ??shadow comes from Plato, the existence of the real world It is a projection of the rational world. Just like Albert, who has been conveying philosophical thoughts, is just a shadow projected and manipulated by Sid's father in Sophie's world

>> I want it now. Beg poor Sid to rebel against her father. She should be ashamed that she should be entertained by his wanton tricks with shadows.

>> I will beg poor Sid to rebel against her now. Father. She should be ashamed that she would be entertained by his wanton play with shadows.

>> His spirit and soul are in it, but he is also safe in Lebanon. Everything around us is the Major's self.

>> We are just the shadow in the Major's soul. It is not easy for a shadow to attack its master. It requires cleverness and strategy, but we have the opportunity to influence it. Sid, she is an angel, and only angels can rebel against God

>>:

"But they shouldn't be complacent about it. They are the last people who should be complacent, because happiness can lead to sadness. "

"Who are they you are talking about? "

"Sid and her father. Aren't we talking about them? "

"But why shouldn't they be proud? ”

“Because maybe they themselves are also living in the hearts of others. "

"How is that possible? ”

“If it was possible for Berkeley and the Romantics, it probably was. Maybe the Major is also a figure in a book about him and Sid. Of course the book is also about the two of us, because we are a part of their lives. ”

hhhhhh box theory

>> To us, the author will be an 'invisible God'. Although everything we do and say It all comes from Him (for we are Him), but we will never know anything about Him.

Page 31. Chapter Freud

>> Sophie, we are this living planet. The earth is a big ship sailing around the burning sun in the universe, and each of us is full of genes. A small boat of life. When we safely transport the goods on board to the next port, our life has not been in vain...

>> We call this reaction the 'Victorian mentality', which means that An attitude that treats everything related to sex as taboo. We grow up and go through life with this 'id' or 'pleasure principle' within us. Gradually we learn how to adjust our needs to the environment; we learn how to adjust this 'pleasure principle' to accommodate the 'reality principle', in Freud's terminology, we develop a regulatory function. 'Self'.

Chapter 32 Our Age

p>

>> Sartre felt that human freedom was a curse. He said, 'Man is destined to suffer from freedom, because he did not create himself, but he is free. When he enters this world, he must take responsibility for everything he does.

>> Sartre has said that people have no basic ‘nature’. We must create ourselves.

>> Some people claim that we are entering a 'new era', but not everything new is good. Nor can we throw away all the old stuff.

< p> >> Sophie, Sophie - where are you? Where are you from? Why did you come into my life?

Chapter 34 Counterpoint

The biggest difference between the protagonist and passers-by is that the protagonist may be aware of the boundaries, while passers-by default in the setting
