Chapter 943 This Is Logic

Zhang Chong didn't prepare the manuscript in advance, and he didn't need to prepare the manuscript in advance. After all, the atmosphere tonight was relatively relaxed, and he didn't need to recite the score with everyone.

Originally, it was fine if he didn't come up, but since he did come up, Zhang Zhong was ready to chat with everyone, such an opportunity is very rare.

"It should be the winter vacation of my junior year. At that time, there were six people in our dormitory, and four of them were eager to return home. They left at the beginning of the vacation. Only me and another roommate were left in the dormitory. Jin Zi, and because he is a bit older than the rest of us, we usually call him Brother Jin."

Zhang Zhong spoke slowly, and the people below listened carefully, after all, there were not many opportunities to listen to Zhang Zhong's stories.

"The students have almost left, and the dormitory building is also empty. On the night before Brother Jin left, we had dinner, packed our luggage, and sat on the edge of our respective beds and chatted. At first everyone chatted, and he He asked me how I would go back tomorrow, and I asked him what time the bus would arrive tomorrow. Then it might be due to the atmosphere, and he said with emotion, "University is so fast, three years have passed in a blink of an eye."

"I lived a simple life back then, never thinking about the past and the future, and just thinking about my own things all day long. But now that we've reached this point, I smiled and said to brother Jin, how fast is this? Let’s chat here now. When you come back after school starts next year, you may feel that today’s events seem like a blink of an eye. Or, wait ten years, and we will meet again, and today’s conversation still feels like yesterday .Time is just a concept, and sometimes it can’t measure anything at all. After that, I followed up with my brother to talk about my perception of time, throwing away a lot of science fiction ideas that I thought were cool. At that time, I thought the chat was good, but later Come to think of it, Brother Jin probably doesn’t like this topic very much, and I’m the only one talking about it most of the time.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhong sighed slightly, the scene of sitting and chatting with Si Jin appeared in his mind, as if it happened yesterday, which just confirmed what he himself said back then.

The time of these years seems to be thinner than cicada wings, transparent, and can be seen at a glance.

"I have a pretty good memory. When the second year of school started, I smiled and asked him, look, in the blink of an eye, we started school again. He also smiled and said, yes, it's really fast."

"I don't know if Brother Jin still remembers the scene that night, but I still remember it clearly. Just like now, we are still chatting here, waiting to watch the show, maybe in the blink of an eye, it will be the beginning of next year when."

"I saw a few students blinking vigorously. I didn't say that you can travel back to the beginning of school in a blink of an eye."

Everyone below laughed, and many looked around, trying to find out who was blinking.

Zhang Zhong continued, "When I told this story, I didn't have any special meaning, and I didn't think of telling you to cherish time. It's just a matter of touching the scene and chatting with you casually. Now that it's time to talk, I'll also discuss it with you by the way. What is time. When I was young, someone told me that time is the past, present and future. But when we humans mark time, we rely on external objects. If there is no past, there will be no past time and no future. There is no future time for things. In other words, if nothing exists, there is no present time. Some people may ask, how can nothing exist? If nothing exists, we still need to consider what time is for What? That’s true, but let’s think about it from another angle, let’s think about the length of time.”

"We now divide time into a year, a month, a day, an hour, a minute, a second... But the problem is, what I'm talking about now is not the present, but the past in the past. The length of time is for us It's just a memory, we can't judge how long the past 1 years are. The 100 years we know is just that the starfish spared the sun to go around a hundred times. But is it the same time for the starfish to go around the sun—— If time really has a length."

Zhang Zhong asked a question, but did not expect everyone to give an answer. He said with a smile, "All the above is just chatting, so you don't need to take it to heart. Finally, I hope that on such a festive day, everyone can have fun. Good luck, see you next year."

After speaking, Zhang Zhong turned around and left the stage.

Amid applause, Zhang Zhong returned to his seat.

Xu Wenxuan tilted his head and looked at his son-in-law, and said, "The question you just asked reminds me of the famous theologian Augustine's understanding of time. He believed that the present of the past is memory, and the present The present of things is the direct feeling, and the present of things in the future is the expectation. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

Zhang nodded emphatically, "Well, he believes that the past time is the memory in people's current mind, the present time is the direct feeling, and the future time is the expectation. Both the past time and the future time exist in the present way."

"That's right, that's what it means. This is Augustine's understanding. Do you agree?" Xu Wenxuan asked.

"I can't talk about agreeing, but there are merits. Augustine's view of time itself is an extreme form of subjectivism. Although it is extreme, it does illustrate a certain characteristic of time, at least for us A quality that human beings see, a quality that cannot be grasped and cannot be seen." Zhang Zhong said.

"Well, Kant's understanding of time is completely different from Augustine's. Kant's elucidation of time is divided into two parts, one is metaphysical, and the other is the transcendental part. And in the metaphysical elucidation, there are four points. First, time is not an experiential concept derived from external experience. On the contrary, to obtain empirical knowledge, time must be the premise, otherwise it cannot be established. Let’s not talk about the latter ones, but the first one is just like Aogu Sting is very different."

"Well, it can be said to be the complete opposite." Zhang Zhong said.

"That's right, Augustine believed that it was human memory that created time... It may not be appropriate to use creation, it should be said that it embodies time. But Kant believed that only with time can people have experience. For example, I am now Sitting in this auditorium and looking at the facilities inside, I feel that this auditorium is very new. This cognition will be transformed into memory, and this memory is based on my cognition of time, that is to say, the human subject has an innate form of time. "

Cao Ruixia heard the two of them discussing this, and said with a smile, "You two are here to discuss philosophy."

Xu Wenxuan replied with a smile, "This is logic."
