Magus Tech Chapter 480: I crush you with philosophy

"Cynic school of philosophy?" The clown whispered.

Li Cha continued unaffected: "People of the cynic philosophy school all believe that true happiness is not based on external objects, such as abundant material, noble status, or a strong body.

True happiness does not depend on fleeting things, but pays more attention to inner satisfaction. Human desires are obviously endless, and following desires will only result in pain. Only when enough is enough, control desires, and abandon the pursuit of material things can we get happiness and happiness, just like children.

And the Diogenes I mentioned at the beginning took this matter to the extreme. It is said that he lived in a wooden barrel, and all his property was only a cloak, a stick and a bread bag. But he was extremely happy and had no desires or desires.

There is a story about him that one day he was sitting by a barrel basking in the sun when the king of his country 'Alexander' came to see him and told him 'whatever he wants, he can get it' . He looked at the king and said seriously, 'Please go away from me and let me bask in the sun, thank you'. "

After Li Cha finished speaking, the clown fell into deep thought for a long time, obviously a little surprised by what Li Cha said, and what Li Cha said touched him deeply. After a while, the clown finally opened his mouth and said to Li Cha, "So, do you think this...Diogenes is right or wrong?"

"My opinion is not important." Richard said, "However, there are many people who hold different views from Diogenes, such as Epicurus."

"Epicurus?" The clown obviously hadn't heard of such a name either.

"Yes, Epicurus." Richard nodded and said, "This man is the founder of the 'Epicurean School of Philosophy'.

In the Epicurean school of philosophy, everyone agrees that happiness can be obtained through external objects. They don’t think happiness is special. On the contrary, they think happiness is broad-eating delicious food is happiness, taking a comfortable bath is happiness, spending a night with lover is happiness, buying what they want is happiness, and doing things will eventually lead to achievement. Also happy.

In other words, the happiness of the body is the happiness of the soul. The only place where spiritual happiness is higher than physical happiness is that you can learn to appreciate happiness instead of pain;

People in the Epicurean school of philosophy do not agree with the viewpoint of the 'cynic school of philosophy'. In their view, in order to get happiness, and give up the happiness that is readily available, putting the cart before the horse.

They believe that if you want to be happy, you have to chase it. Happiness should be positive, not negative. The more happiness you want, the harder you have to work. In the process of hard work, giving up the relatively short-term happiness to obtain greater, longer-lasting or more intense happiness is to sublimate happiness. In this way, life will not be disappointed and the meaning of life will be realized. Their famous saying is, "God is not to be feared, death is not to be worried, misfortune is easy to bear, and happiness is easy to seek." "

Li Cha stopped talking, and the clown fell into deep thought again, muttering in a low voice: "God is not to be feared, death is not to be worried, misfortune is easy to endure, happiness is easy to seek?"

This time the clown was silent for longer than last time, and he looked up at Richard for a long time: "So, passer-by, you are inclined to this 'Epicurean school of philosophy' thinking."

"Actually, that's not the case." Richard said, "There are many schools of philosophy, whether it's the 'Cynical School of Philosophy' or the 'Epicurean School of Philosophy', I don't really like it. I really have to choose If not, I would prefer to choose other schools, such as mysticism.”

"The school of mysticism? Who started this?" The clown asked.

"Well, as for the mysticism genre, there is really no clear originator, and it is generally considered to be a hybrid genre. In this genre, many people believe that happiness cannot be obtained from external objects, nor from What you get in your heart, even if you get it, is false and not real happiness. Only by experiencing a larger self can you get real happiness.

The so-called greater self can be interpreted as 'heaven and earth', 'nature', 'world', 'universe', and of course some people call it 'Tao'.

This school of thought sees each of us as humble, small, and meaningless. Meaning can only be found by trying to find the larger self, to be part of it.

In the process of merging, we lose our little 'self', just like a drop of water merges into the ocean, and the drop disappears. But disappearing is not the end, but the beginning, and the water droplet becomes part of the ocean. Then smallness becomes greatness, and eternal and ultimate happiness comes. "

"Water droplets merge into the ocean, smallness becomes greatness, and ultimate happiness comes?" The clown said, his voice slightly shocked. Obviously, he had never heard such an idea from Richard, and was very shocked.

After a long time, the clown looked at Li Cha seriously and asked, "Is this the reason why you do everything, in order to find the existence of a larger self, try to merge with it, and then go to that kind of greatness?"

Li Cha shook his head and said solemnly: "Actually not, Mr. Clown. The reason why I do things can be said to be very simple, but it can also be said to be very complicated. If we really want to explore from the source, then we need to carefully It is necessary to explore many schools of philosophy.

From the original school of primitive philosophy, to the school of Socrates, to the school of Plato, and then to the school of cynicism, Epicurus and mysticism we just mentioned, and then the school of neo-Platonism, the school of humanism, Rationalism, materialism, empiricism, agnosticism, etc.

After talking about these ~IndoMTL.com~ maybe there will be an answer. "

The clown was stunned, looking at Li Cha for a while, not knowing how to start a conversation.

At this time, Li Cha made a sound and asked: "Mr. Clown, are you sure you really want to discuss with me now? By the way, do you still remember the question you asked me at the beginning?"

This!

The clown looked at Li Cha, his eyes under the mask showed a strange gaze, and said abruptly at the next moment: "It should be almost time for my performance again, I'll leave first, we... We will talk when we have time. "

After speaking, the clown turned his head and left.

Li Cha watched the clown leave, then turned around, and unexpectedly saw a familiar white crow on a roof next to the square. The next moment the hand was lifted up suddenly, a piece of ice had already condensed, and the pieces were quickly peeled off from the ice one by one, and quickly hit the white crow like an arrow.

Sensing the danger, the white crow flew up quickly, dodged the attack, and then flew high and far away.

This didn't surprise Li Cha, but seeing the slightly embarrassed look of the white crow, Li Cha squinted and said, "Whether it's kind or malicious, I won't cooperate obediently, after all... ...I have my own thoughts, I hope you pay attention!"
