以前聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)柏拉圖订歪,也知道關(guān)于柏拉圖原型的哲學(xué)理念。大致說(shuō)的是我們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)世界中
可以抽象一些絕對(duì)的理念肆捕。比如說(shuō)刷晋,我們看到一個(gè)用圓規(guī)畫的圓,雖然它并不是完全的(
可能在作圖過(guò)程中的抖動(dòng))圓慎陵,但我們的腦海中卻可以抽象出一個(gè)絕對(duì)的圓眼虱。由此類似,
我們可以抽象出絕對(duì)的正義席纽,絕對(duì)的美等概念捏悬。
然后來(lái)談?wù)勥@本書吧润梯!我是因?yàn)樵诳匆敶髮W(xué)的“死亡”公開(kāi)課过牙,這本書是要求閱讀的材料。我看的版本是楊絳先生翻譯的中文版仆救,比較推薦大家看這個(gè)版本抒和。
這本書記錄的是西方歷史上著名的死亡時(shí)刻,偉大的蘇格拉底因?yàn)樗麩釔?ài)的真理而被判死刑彤蔽,在這行刑之前的最后時(shí)刻,蘇格拉底和幾個(gè)朋友開(kāi)始討論靈魂的永恒性(The immortality of soul), 在這里庙洼,靈魂的存在似乎是不言而喻的顿痪。
如果把這本書單純看作是哲學(xué)的書籍镊辕,只是談?wù)撟髡咚枷胧欠裾_,就顯得有些狹隘了蚁袭。我更愿意把這本書看作是偉大的思想家探討真理的一種嘗試征懈,同時(shí)提供了一種辯論的方式和方法。
下面揩悄,我將列出書中闡述的一些思想:
- (The argument from the nature of the forms)
The forms aren't physical objects, can't be grasped by something
physical.1. Ideas(Forms) are eternal/non-physical. 2. Eternal/non-physical can only be grasped by the eternal/non-physical
(The argument from recycling)
Things come into being by being composed of previous existing parts. And then, when those things cease to have the form the had, the parts get used for other purpose.(The argument from recollection)
Those thing reminds us of Plato forms.
Conclude that the soul was around before we were born.(The argument from simplicity)
Anything that's simple can't be destroyed.
Thing that change have parts. Things with parts can be destroyed(physical, visible).
Forms can't be destroyed.(The argument from essential properties)
Eseential properties: a given object must have.
Contigent properties: an object may happen to have during its entire existence, but could have existed without.
Being capable of thought is an essential property of the soul(The soul is essential alive).
以上的結(jié)論都可以從上述的公開(kāi)課中找到卖哎,我也十分認(rèn)可,配合這門課删性,可以對(duì)這本書理解的更加透徹亏娜。
下面就談?wù)勎覀€(gè)人對(duì)這本書的理解吧!首先我以前是一個(gè)對(duì)靈魂的存在是非常確信的蹬挺,因?yàn)槲以谒伎嫉臅r(shí)候维贺,能夠明顯的感覺(jué)到腦海中有思想的存在,我一直以為這就是靈魂巴帮。然而現(xiàn)在溯泣,叫它為(mind)應(yīng)該更加合適。這本書談?wù)摰氖庆`魂的不滅性榕茧,書中柏拉圖假設(shè)出一個(gè)辯論的對(duì)手垃沦,對(duì)他的論證過(guò)程進(jìn)行縝密的分析。我認(rèn)為這本書啟發(fā)人進(jìn)行哲學(xué)性的思考用押,即使最終的結(jié)論不正確肢簿,但是也足夠啟迪思考。
