Cao Tianyuan (Capo): “Does God Play Dice? — A History of Quantum Physics”

Cao Tianyuan (Capo): “Does God Play Dice? — A History of Quantum Physics”
Cao Tianyuan (Capo): “Does God Play Dice?—A History of Quantum Physics,” Liaoning Education Publishing House, January 2006 Taking a hard-seat train home is really quite nice. I slept for six hours, read for six hours, and the whole night passed in a rather fulfilling way. That night I happened to finish this idle read. I have always not read popular science books on the cutting edge when they’re written by Chinese authors, but this one was an exception. What attracted me was the advertising copy on the cover: “A popular science book of super influence, hailed as ‘China’s A Brief History of Time’; strongly recommended by Dong Guangbi, Jiang Xiaoyuan,…

A fortunate chat with Professor Li Deshun
Alas, I’m so tired today, I won’t record it…… Latest comments Me 2006-01-14 21:52:45 [reply] Just jot down a few odds and ends: We were told to assemble at nine in the morning. I wasn’t properly awake; ZW had a nosebleed; CG sprained his wrist. It seemed everyone was having a pretty rough time. LY overslept; at first, when we texted and called, he didn’t respond at all, and I even thought something had happened to him, like he had chipped a front tooth or something. In the end, we confirmed it was because he had stayed up all night and only gone to sleep at six. We didn’t bring…

Some Discussions on Politics and Education
Last night we started with “exposing and criticizing” someone, and talked about a lot of issues. It was quite interesting, but unfortunately TSP did not participate, and I don’t know how to make a chat transcript. So let me just sort out my own views on some of the issues we discussed yesterday. First, there is the question of moral cultivation. I think that no matter whom one is facing, or what situation one is in, some basic moral cultivation should be maintained. Of course, we can say that in some specific circumstances, when emotions run high, saying something excessive or doing something excessive is understandable. But this “understanding” cannot…

On the South China Tiger Incident
http://hps.phil.pku.edu.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=282 Lately it’s felt a bit like repressed feelings have suddenly burst out in one concentrated explosion, with momentum gushing up from the stomach~ Maybe it’s borrowed from Schopenhauer’s stimulation? As for the South China tiger affair, I’d long wanted to say a few things, but had never managed to get them out. Taking the repost on the forum, and riding this surge of momentum, I finally can’t keep quiet anymore. This is a joke post—surely I can see that, can’t I? Of course I can. The moment I saw “reposted from XX forum” and “repost MP,” I knew it was only a joke, and a really brilliant one at…

I Am a Realistic Idealist, or an Ideal Realist (A Supplement to the Previous Essay and the Debate It Sparked)

I Am a Realistic Idealist, or an Ideal Realist (A Supplement to the Previous Essay and the Debate It Sparked)
I just debated with ZW for more than an hour. It’s already started to have a bit of the flavor of “directing the realm from the mountaintop” (just kidding—don’t take it seriously), and although I did get something out of it, I’m exhausted. Because my personal political views are very easy to misunderstand—easy to mistake for “counterrevolutionary” or “fool-the-masses”—but perhaps it’s not a misunderstanding after all. If revolution is understood as a revolution against China as it exists in reality, then I am a resolute “counterrevolutionary.” Of course, someone may say: as social development reaches a certain stage, there is always the possibility that revolution will become necessary; so am…

Two Marxist-Philosophy Short-Answer Questions I Didn’t Want to Answer by the Book + A Supplement to Short Answer Question 5 in Marxist Philosophy (Part II)

Two Marxist-Philosophy Short-Answer Questions I Didn’t Want to Answer by the Book + A Supplement to Short Answer Question 5 in Marxist Philosophy (Part II)
1．What is the dialectical view of negation? Illustrate it with the attitude one should take toward cultural tradition. First let us look at what the dialectical view of negation is not: In The Poverty of Philosophy, Marx satirized Proudhon’s vulgar use of dialectics. Marx said, “Let us see what Monsieur Proudhon has made of Hegel’s dialectic when he applies it to his economic theory… Monsieur Proudhon thinks that the good and the bad sides, the advantages and the disadvantages, together make up the contradiction inherent in every economic category. What needs to be done is to preserve the good side and eliminate the bad side.” —What we see here is…

What Do I “Want” to Do?

What Do I “Want” to Do?
Heaven knows how I still had the leisure to write an essay during final-exam season. Contemporary politics and economics have already been smashed to pieces, tomorrow’s English is hopeless too, and I can’t even finish reading Chinese philosophy…… Sigh. But today during a group chat CG mentioned that he wanted to “bring social, political, and economic studies into one coherent whole,” of course just as casual chatter, but it made me think of some questions. Someone once shouted the slogan “bringing Chinese, Western, and Marxist thought into one coherent whole,” and very soon someone else coined the matching line, “boasting of smashing through ancient and modern cattle.” To shout about…
