Vol 7 Chapter 69: All Greek scholars conference held


"If the rulers of the city-state are able to continue to learn in constant practice, rather than indulging in the enjoyment of the flesh. They can treat the city-state people with good thoughts, and can visually and sensitively discover the essence through things, and develop Congratulating the laws of the city-state citizens about beauty, justice, and goodness, and guiding the people to obey it and guard it...so they are of course philosophers, and this is beyond doubt!" Plato said firmly.
Davers knew that Plato expanded the concept of philosophers, but he felt that there was no need to directly refute, but turned to other questions: "In the book "Ideology", you think that a true philosopher should have love. Real and not false, temperate and not greedy for pleasure, open-minded, open-minded, courageous, not afraid of death, fair and wise, smart and eager to learn, natural harmony, advance and retreat...that is, he should be a perfect good person, Such a philosopher can become a true ruling person, is this right?"
"Yes, basically this is the case." Plato said calmly, then added another sentence: "But it is difficult to achieve now."

Why is it difficult to achieve now?
Daves asked.
"Because there is no stage in the current city-states that gives philosophers the power to rule the country!" Plato said with a little excitement: "Some so-called 'wise men' at the city-state citizens' assembly only know how to please and cater to the people, attacking the true pursuit of things. The true philosopher, because truth is more difficult to accept than the false, so philosophers are not welcomed by the city-state. The harsh environment of the city-state tempts the talented young people to make them ambitious and would rather go Learning rhetoric to cater to the people and earning power and wealth, and not wanting to gain rationality through the hardships of slaves.
In this way, there are fewer and fewer true philosophers, just like falling into the beasts. They are not willing to participate in evil, and they cannot fight against all beasts independently. Therefore, they have to keep silent and only pay attention to their own affairs..."
"So you wrote "The Republic of China", in fact it does not exist in reality." Dafoss has realized.
"No, it will exist one day!" Plato said with determination: "To this end, I established the Akademie Academy!..."
Deavers was shocked by Plato's words, watching the philosopher who was called "great" in the past. Deavers deeply felt his determination to fight for his life, which made him think of past lives. Another sage who has almost the same age as Plato and influenced China for more than 2,000 years, they are all the same kind of people, so they can achieve their greatness.
With this in mind, Daves no longer martyrdom in the book "Imperial Country", which he thinks is inadequate, but rather a calm speech: "In the book "Utopia", you mentioned 'strict social division of labor. It is the first principle of the ideal city-state establishment. The rulers, guardians, peasants, and craftsmen are all responsible for their duties, and they can guarantee the order of the country. Everyone is happy and happy... 'But the slaves and Gentiles who occupy the majority of the population in the city-state, You don't seem to take them into account. This may be a big hidden danger.
Because slaves and Gentiles also have their own political demands, once the city-state can't give them, they will certainly bring great damage to the order of the city-state. In the Peloponnesian War, Athens, which should have united and confronted foreign enemies, caused a major blow to its people because of the demise of more than 20,000 miners’ slaves; Syracuse under Dionysius’s rule When we fight against our country, the free people of the port of Siracusa who have been discriminated against have become the main force for rioting and overthrowing Dionysius's rule...
In addition, you divide the people of the city-state into several grades, the peasants can only engage in agriculture, the craftsmen can only engage in the handicraft industry, and the guardians can only participate in the war... Is such a division too idealistic, yet too It’s too rigid. Because most people have desires to get a better city-state status, farmers and craftsmen may also want to be guardians, and guardians want to be rulers. Whether they can do it or not, you should give them this possibility in advance. The way, the different classes of the entire city-state maintain a kind of mobility, and the people of the city-state will have a vitality. You are not wondering why Diaonia is fast and powerful, this is one of the reasons!

......
Davers and Plato exchanged views and opinions on the city-state system, and sometimes heated debates, and sometimes calm discussions, both of them are very committed.
Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and until the clerk of Henipolis reminded, Daves had to stop communicating and apologized to Plato: he still has something to do, this The conversation can only end here.
Plato's face of regret, from the initial carelessness of the interview, to the full commitment of the present, in this conversation, he did benefit a lot.
At this moment, he sincerely requested: "Dave Davis, can you promise me a request?"
"You please say."

Can you allow me to visit the actual operations of the various institutions under the Kingdom of Dionia, like the school, the inspection department, the construction department, and the official management committee that assesses and recruits public officials...

"Of course there is no problem." Daves agreed quickly and said: "This is my clerk, Henipolis, the elder of the Dionysian Senate. When Plato, you are at the end of the lecture, he leads you. Visit all of Turui."
Plato immediately expressed his gratitude.
After he left, Henipolis asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, do you really want Plato to visit our administrative agency carefully?"
"Of course. Plato is a well-known scholar in Greece, and he also has his own school. I hope that he will promote the superiority of the Kingdom of Ionia in Greece and make it famous for Dionya." Daves thought without thinking. Said.
"But this may cause other city-states to steal our system." Henipolis said with a little concern.
Daves haha ​​smiled: "Herney, the production of a weapon can steal school, the production of a handicraft can steal school, but the political system is difficult to steal, especially for those city-states that have been building for a long time, The traditional old-fashioned forces are numerous and powerful. If you want to change the political system, you will inevitably damage their interests. At that time, you can't avoid a riot. The Khululi of Syracuse is an example! So, what? What kind of shoes do people wear, it’s impossible to mess with..."
.......................................
There is no official opening ceremony for the entire Greek scholars' conference. This is because scholars advocate freedom and don't like to waste time sitting there listening to people, but how to coordinate the lectures and discussion time of invited scholars is a trouble. problem.
This time, the conference was held in four places in the Dionysian Academy, namely several colleges, liberal arts colleges, medical schools and philosophy institutes. Many invited scholars have made achievements in many fields. For example, Dean Cleopatra’s disciple, Seinstrand, has studied philosophy, mathematics, and medicine. Lucius is an important figure in the Pythagorean school. Not only do they have deep research in mathematics and physics, but they also have their own unique philosophical ideas... These colleges want to let scholars first explain to themselves, so they are arguing endlessly.
Fortunately, Davers also served as the chairman of the conference. He brought together the deans of the four colleges. After repeated deliberation, he quickly set the schedule.
Plato's students came to the Dionysian Academy and found that, as Foster Kada said, the size of the school, the number of buildings, and the beauty of the environment are far more than the Akademie Academy, which makes them There was a slight loss in my heart, but soon they became addicted to the profound knowledge.
They frequently travel between colleges and listen to lectures by scholars.
At the College of Liberal Arts, they listened to Lucias's Application of Logic in Court Debate, Isocrate's How to Carve Your Speech;
In several colleges, they pondered Martysh's "The Regularity of the Material Vibration Curve", Mentotik Els's "Probability of the Beginning" (this is the Dave's commissioned number of colleges that have been the ball for six or seven years. Class games calculate odds, a knowledge discovered and summarized by the college.);
In the Faculty of Philosophy, they have to carefully discern the philosophy that Lusis tells about "everything is equal", and Androstini's "On the existence of things" (he is a student of Elia's Parmenides)~ Www.EbookFREE.me~ is also the vice president of the Devonian Academy of Philosophy) What is the similarity and difference between the philosophy taught by Mr. Plato;
In medical school, they opened their eyes to see how Hulpus tells and demonstrates the functioning of the heart, Stacy Codas's "Common Human Diseases - A Preliminary Study of the Pathogenesis of the Cold", and Hippocrates' "Subject to Nature" "The medical point of view (that is, the human body itself is the best medicine to fight disease, the doctor's main responsibility is to stand on the side of nature and promote the recovery of the patient's body and spirit)...
When they learn and absorb knowledge, they also know a lot of young talents. Most of them are students of the Dionysian Academy. They are confident and generous, diligent and eager to learn, not only at the lectures of the scholars. Record the main points with papyrus, and actively ask questions, and even many times because the problem is profound and difficult to hold the speaker.
After the down, these students of the Dionysian Academy also had heated discussions. They also joined Spiesp, but they often couldn't keep up with their agility because they lacked more knowledge. In fact, it is understandable that there is only one teacher in the Academia Academy. Although Plato is knowledgeable, he cannot have in-depth research in all fields, and many teachers in the Deonian Academy are mostly well-known. Scholars, and allow students of all majors to listen and exchange learning.
