Great Writer

　　 The last question Ding Mei asked was like she herself remembered that she wanted to write to Wang Defu for philosophical questions, so she just asked a question casually.

　　 The focus of her writing of this letter is actually on the front. It is naturally to draw closer the relationship between her and Wang Defu, and then express her appreciation of Wang Defu’s talent.

　　Wang Defu had no interest in the meaningless content in front of him. Instead, he only focused on the last question that Ding Mei asked casually. The result still made him disappointed.

　　 The philosophical question asked by Ding Mei is—

　　 The human soul does not exist, what the world looks like after death.

　　Some people may see this question and can't help but question it. Is this a philosophical question?

　　 This is indeed a philosophical question, and it is even a very popular question in this era, because this is the era when "metaphysics" prevails.

　　 The so-called "metaphysics" is actually also called "metaphysics", a philosophical study whose purpose is to determine the true nature of things, that is, to determine the meaning, structure, and principle of existence.

　　 "Metaphysics" refers to the guessing of the unprovable nature of the intangible world. It is an ontological system for studying "existence" and later used to refer to the study of super-experience (soul, freedom of will, etc.).

In Wang Defu's philosophy course, "metaphysics" is a compulsory course. Every time he takes this "metaphysics" course, he feels an inexplicable sense of joy, just because in the era he was in, "metaphysics" "They have all been criticized for perfection, but there are still many philosophers studying "metaphysics" in this era.

　　 These philosophers are better called "metalogists" instead of calling them philosophers.

Ding Mei asked Wang Defu such a question, probably just to find two books about the popular "metaphysics", then turned it twice, and found a question that she understood and was interested in, so she asked Wang Defu. NS.

In fact, Wang Defu had long wanted to completely negate "metaphysics" because he felt that the problems of "metaphysics" research were meaningless, but if he did so, he would be besieged by all current philosophical schools, so-called one step ahead. He is a genius, two steps ahead is a lunatic, he doesn't want to be called a "lunatic" title.

He has a complete plan for his development in the field of philosophy. He must first have his own philosophical school and have a large number of disciples who are cheering for him. It is better to deny it in this era when "metaphysics" is popular. Get in it first and consider how to affirm it.

After all, "how metaphysics is possible" has always been an unimplemented problem. If he pretends to work hard to find a place to settle for metaphysics, he may be accepted by other philosophical schools, thinking that he is "his own person", and wait until he is full of wings. Choosing to sacrifice the "dialectics" as a big killer will completely send "metaphysics" to the grave.

　　Wang Defu still does not want to expose his contempt for the "metaphysics" of this era, so he answered Ding Mei’s question in this way—

　　 The existence of a person’s soul depends on himself.

　　What the world is like after death, after death, you will naturally know.

　　Wang Defu answered very perfunctorily, but at least he did not directly express the philosophical questions asked by Ding Mei, or the metaphysical questions that can be classified into philosophical questions in this era, and they have no meaning at all.

　　 These problems really depend on the individual. How do you like to think and think, you can think that the human soul definitely exists, you can think that you can enter heaven or spiritual mountain after death, in any case you are happy.

　　 But the most ridiculous thing is that different people argue over such meaningless issues, as if they are fighting against each other, depending on who can blow it.

　　Similar to "Which one is more powerful in the scientific world or the magic world", this kind of question is really not suitable for arguing, but suitable for writing novels, and it is enough to justify itself in the novel.

Wang Defu’s reply to Chen Qingyan can be said to have a lot of weight, but the reply to Ding Mei contained only a piece of paper. From the so-called philosophical questions asked by Ding Mei, he had already seen that the other party was not so much interested in philosophy. It is because he is studying philosophy, so he said so, so it seems that there is a common topic.

　　Ding Mei may not know that Wang Defu and more than 80% of philosophy students in this era have no common topics. It is like modern people go back to ancient times and tell them how fun computer games are, but they are inexplicable.

　　 After Wang Defu returned Ding Mei's letter, he began to read the philosophy journals he ordered.

The most famous academic journal of philosophy today is "World Philosophy". Its status in the whole world philosophy is equivalent to "Science" and "Nature". Incidentally, the world's "Science" "" and "Nature" are both the publications of Huaxia, which is not falling into the empire. After all, Huaguo is indeed the center of the scientific community.

As a top academic journal of philosophy, "World Philosophy" is naturally very influential. Many people who study philosophy are proud to be able to publish papers on it. If they want to be a professor in the Department of Philosophy in a university, they will be in "World Philosophy". I have published a paper, and it will definitely welcome ordinary universities.

　　 In addition to the world-class philosophy journal "World Philosophy", there are two national philosophy journals, one is "Philosophy Research" and the other is "Philosophical Analysis". These are core journals and award-winning journals.

Other things like "Times and Trends", "Philosophy Trends", etc., are like academic journals for scholars who study philosophy. In fact, you don’t need to have a good paper. You just need to serve a good professor and ask the professor to say hello to you.

　　In this era of philosophy or metaphysics, as long as you choose to study a question similar to the question asked by Ding Mei just now, and you can discuss it like that, you can basically publish papers in ordinary philosophical academic journals.

This is also the reason why the Department of Literature of Soochow University mocked the Department of Philosophy in the past. Perhaps the students of the Department of Literature really feel that it is easy for them to write philosophical essays. The writing is also good, and the writing is better.

Wang Defu’s purpose of looking at philosophy academic journals now is not to learn something from the above, but to consider which academic journal he chooses and submit the first philosophical academic paper he prepared carefully. I wrote my own thesis during the professional class of "metaphysics".
