Roman Slave Owner

"Next, we invite our greatest philosopher, Lucius Porcius Livi, to speak."

cried Hortensius.

Then there was extremely warm applause again, whether it was those who liked Li Wei or those who hated him, at this moment Li Wei represented the honor of the entire Rome.

Li Wei walked to the stage, bowed slightly, and then started his speech.

Of course, he memorized the speech a long time ago, and Serabio helped him write it, and then revised it by himself. After all, as a writer, he still has this level.

After the speech, there was another burst of warm applause, even mixed with a lot of screams, and then came the much-anticipated questioning session.

Everyone knew that the Greek philosophers would come to make trouble, and they would try their best to embarrass Li Wei. Only in this way can they prove that Greek philosophy is the greatest philosophy in the world.

Appius watched all this excitedly, holding a pen in his hand, and then kept writing and drawing on a book bound with real god paper.

As the chief reporter of the "Roman Daily", he is sincerely honored to be able to record all this.

"Everyone, it's time to ask questions. Greek philosophers have any questions they can ask like Levy. Remember, each person is limited to three questions."

Hortensius came to the stage again and spoke.

A philosopher quickly stepped up to the stage and said, "Hi, Levi, I admit that you are a great philosopher, but I still have some questions for you. What do you think people are?" ?”

If this question was asked by ordinary people, it might attract a lot of ridicule.

But if you are a philosopher, then you must answer carefully.

"Man is made up of body and soul, body is made up of cells and molecules, and cells and molecules are made up of atoms."

As a prophet, Livy must vigorously promote the theory of the immortality of the soul.

As for how to answer their questions, Li Wei has also thought about it, and that is to stick to the materialist worldview.

"Do you think the soul is immortal?"

"yes."

"Do animals have souls?"

"Have."

"May I ask what your human soul is made of?"

"I don't understand this question, but I know that this is the forbidden zone of the true god, and it is a field that humans cannot touch temporarily."

Li Wei drew a cross and said very cleverly.

"Okay, your question has already been exceeded, who else wants to come up?"

Hortensius hastily stopped the philosopher's question and drove him off the stage.

The philosopher asked a question as if he still had something to say, but Li Wei didn't answer it in the end.

Hortensius quickly selected another philosopher.

"Li Wei, what do you think the world is made of?"

asked a philosopher.

"This world was created by the true god, and the rules were made by the true god. Then there are endless atoms,

In fact, I think atoms can also be subdivided. "

Li Wei said with a smile.

"What do you think an atom looks like?"

"A triangle, or a rhombus? Or a polygon?" asked the philosopher.

"It's like the earth and the moon, a group of moons revolving around the earth."

Li Wei didn't want to speak in detail, but just said vaguely.

"How do you know?"

"Guess, but I think with the advent of more powerful microscopes, my statement will be proved in time."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Next."

Hortensius quickly drove him off, "Master Philo, please come up."

Unexpectedly, Hortensius would choose Philo as the next director.

Philo walked up to the podium with a smile, and said, "Li Wei, I would like to ask you what you think of Plato's Metaphysics."

I am afraid that many people in the later generations of metaphysics have only heard of it, such as insisting on opposing metaphysics, but they do not have a special understanding of what metaphysics is.

Plato's "Metaphysics" is not the same as this. "Metaphysics" is taken from the phrase "the metaphysics is called Tao, and the metaphysics is called tools" in "Book of Changes: Xici".

It pays attention to the pursuit of the truth of things, not just superficial appearances.

It is recommended that people should not only know what it is, but also know why it is.

For example, a boat floats on the water, but many people probably didn’t know why the boat floated on the water.

"Metaphysics" is to encourage people to pursue the truth behind things.

"I wholeheartedly agree with it."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"What do you think of Plato's trichotomy of the soul?"

"That's the realm of the true god, and I don't know anything about it."

"What do you think of Utopia? Can it be realized?"

"It cannot be realized, and it will never happen within two thousand years. And Plato believed that the ideal country is governed by philosophers. I don't think it may be possible to govern the country by philosophers, but it can definitely be realized by governing the country by philosophers' disciples."

Levi said.

"How to achieve it?"

Philo asked quickly.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, this seemed to be his fourth question, but he finally answered it.

Of course, it was realized in China, and Confucianism can be regarded as a kind of philosophy. It is controversial whether the children of Confucianism are philosophers, but the children of philosophers must be.

"Only under the monarchy, the monarch worships a certain doctrine and regards it as the idea of ​​​​governing the country, can the philosopher govern the country be realized. I think it is only possible to realize the philosopher govern the country in the East."

At this time, Philo continued to ask whether he followed the rules or not.

"Why not the West?"

"The west will be ruled by gods, and the east will be ruled by men."

Li Wei said meaningfully.

Philo still wanted to ask, but Hortensius had already stepped on the stage, and Philo had already asked five questions, which seriously exceeded the stipulated requirements.

In desperation, Filo had no choice but to step down from the stage, but he had already decided that today he must have a candle-lit talk with Li Wei and take out all the goods in his stomach.

Soon another philosopher came on stage, "Do you think human perception is correct?"

"Not necessarily true."

"why?"

Philosophers came up one after another, and those questions were tricky and all-encompassing. Fortunately, Li Wei was not a vegetarian, so he finally beat them all down.

Li Wei knew he couldn't go on like this anymore, and it was time to use his trump card.

At this time, Cicero's teacher Antiochus came to power, and Cicero watched all this excitedly. He was extremely proud of Li Wei, and he was able to debate with so many philosophers without losing the wind. The ambition of the Romans is too high.

Su La also nodded again and again, looking at those Greeks in the future, they dare to underestimate us Romans.

"May I ask if you think human nature is inherently good or inherently evil?"

said Antiochus.

"Human nature is both good and evil. People are the product of the environment. Whether a person is good or evil depends on the environment in which he lives."

Levi said.
