A Casual Recollection of My Growing-Up Years (Part Two: Cao Guangbiao Primary School)

A Casual Recollection of My Growing-Up Years (Part Two: Cao Guangbiao Primary School)
——(continued from the previous articleCasual Reminiscences of My Growth Experience (Part One: Before Fourth Grade of Elementary School))————— At the beginning of the first semester of fourth grade, the math-competition training for cross-grade participation gradually began to intensify. (Students like me who relied on competition math to dodge the pressure of the lower-stakes exams, the middle school entrance exam, and the college entrance exam may have borne less spiritual pressure when facing the big exams, but the academic pressure was by no means light; this bowl of rice was not eaten for nothing, after all…) Naturally, this would have some effect on regular schoolwork. In fact, from a certain point…

An Analysis of “The Half-Fee Lawsuit”

An Analysis of “The Half-Fee Lawsuit”
The so-called “Half-Fee Lawsuit” is said to be a story related to the ancient Greek sophist Protagoras: Protagoras was the founder of the Sophist school and one of the earliest fee-charging teachers in ancient Greece. A man named Euthlus once became Protagoras’s student to learn the art of litigation and defense, and the two signed a contract: when Euthlus enrolled, he would pay half the tuition fee; the other half would be paid in full when Euthlus won his first case after graduation. However, after graduating, Euthlus kept delaying and did not appear in court to argue cases for others, so the remaining half of the tuition fee had to…

A Casual Recollection of My Growing Up (Part 1: Before Fourth Grade in Elementary School)
The memories from before elementary school have grown too blurry; when I try to recall them, it feels as if I’m recounting someone else’s life. When I was little, I changed kindergartens twice, but I hardly ever actually went—mostly I just hung around at home. I really was too spoiled rotten back then. Because I was overindulged, my health was terrible as a child; because my health was terrible, I was indulged even more… At home, the division of labor was very clear when I was young: my father was responsible for earning money, my mother for my education, my grandmother for cooking, and my grandfather for taking care of…

Kant’s Significance for the Philosophy of Science

Kant’s Significance for the Philosophy of Science
My own view is that Kant’s philosophy has great heuristic significance for the philosophy of science, but among the group of philosophers of science who continue empiricism in the contemporary era, it has been widely neglected. Of course, Kant’s exalted place in the history of philosophy is something very few philosophers would dare to deny, and philosophers of science are no exception. In writings on the philosophy of science, Kant is still often mentioned. But the problem is this: nine times out of ten, when philosophers of science mention Kant, they refer only to his “transcendental theory.” It seems as though Kant’s contribution to the philosophy of science amounted to…

Some Casual Notes Before the World Cup Semifinals

Some Casual Notes Before the World Cup Semifinals
Originally I had planned to write a few articles and read a few books during this period, but now basically all of that has come to nothing. Because the World Cup is simply too captivating, not only have I hardly missed a single post-exam match, I’ve also been too excited during the day to have any 마음 to read. Hehe, after all, the World Cup comes only once every four years; wasting a bit of time can be understood, can’t it? This World Cup has truly been exciting. Although the refereeing has been less than perfect, it is much better than last time. The traditional powerhouses have mostly played as…

Application for “Friends of Nature”

Life & Notes2006.06.30
Application for “Friends of Nature”
I had wanted to join for a long time. At first, though, it was simply because I thought the organization’s name was badly chosen, and figured that if I didn’t join, so be it; then I thought about it again and realized there was nothing I could do about it anyway—if it were up to me, I wouldn’t be able to come up with a better name either. Later I found remitting payment troublesome, but recently I’ve often been ordering books by mail from Kongfuzi, and I’ve come to feel that remitting money isn’t all that troublesome after all. In the end, I was put off by the trouble of…

Stray——Wolf’s Rain Opening Theme Song

Life & Notes2006.06.28
Stray——Wolf’s Rain Opening Theme Song
This song sounds familiar—turns out it’s the theme song for this animated series. — *Wolf’s Rain* (Wolf's Rain). The subject matter is rather unconventional: the protagonist is a pack of wolves. It seems to have a bit of philosophy to it, but also gives off a slightly contrived, pseudo-profound feel. Recommended at an ordinary level. Stray Wolf's Rain Opening Theme Song Composed and arranged by: Yoko Kanno Lyrics by: Tim Jensen Performed by: Steve Conte Stray! Stray! In the cold breeze, that I walk alone, The memories of generation burn within me. Been forever, since I've cried the pain of sorrow, I'll live and die the pride that my people…

A Classified Summary of Reference Works on Science and Religion

History of Science & Scholarship2006.06.26
A Classified Summary of Reference Works on Science and Religion
The method of collection was: 1. My own bookshop browsing over time. 2. Looking through the bibliographies and cited works of various relevant writings. 3. Searching keywords such as "science + religion," "science + faith," "science + God," "physics + religion," "evolution theory + religion," and so on, on the major online bookstores (such as Dangdang, Blues, Xidan Book Building, China Book Network, etc.). 4. Searching keywords such as "science + religion + bibliography/reference book" on Baidu. 5. Searching the online catalogs of major libraries, such as the libraries of Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Xiamen University, and so on. 6. Consulting the Yearbooks of Social Science Publications for…

Faith in Science and Finding a Wife

Faith in Science and Finding a Wife
If there is someone who absolutely refuses to get a wife, believing women are like snakes and scorpions and cannot be approached, how should we try to persuade him? First, we should make one thing clear: everyone is entitled to his or her own views and convictions. If a genuine conversation is impossible, then we should simply respect one another; there is no truth that says one must definitely get a wife. But there is no harm in trying to talk him around, is there? If persuasion fails, then let it be. The single camp’s argument is this: a wife is not indispensable to a good life. A single man…
