Faced with Shi Huizhen's doubts, Vlahos was still speechless. But with so many guests still watching, he had no choice but to face the problem head-on and said, "Your accusation makes no sense. What does philosophical theory have to do with war?"
"Of course it does matter. These theories are the same as the reason why you don't want me to carry a sword. They are the rules of society. Of course these subtle social rules have a great impact on the army, right?" Shi Huizhen asked: "Dio Dora tells me its importance every day. You are also a person who has read books, so you don’t know it, right?"
"Then why doesn't philosophy work?" Vlahos said displeasedly.
"Shouldn't you know better?" Shi Huizhen said: "In the whole world, how many people who study Greek philosophy do you think are doing well?"
"At first, the Arabs were able to conquer everywhere, from the Mediterranean to India, and frightened their enemies from all walks of life. But later, after learning from Aristotle, they began to get beaten. Isn't this obvious enough?"
"Can an example illustrate it? There are too many influencing factors." Vlahos objected.
"It is true that one cannot do it, but isn't it because everyone is like this now?" Shi Huizhen asked: "In the Eastern Mediterranean, the Greeks are the best at learning Aristotle. As a result, they are beaten every day by the Turkmen who believe in Tianfang religion. Plundered by Catholic Crusaders;”
"In the Western Mediterranean, the people who learned the best about Aristotle were the Andalusians. As a result, they were beaten every day by the Catholic Castile and robbed by the Catholic Christians."
"Look, what have become of each and every one of them." She shook her head and said, "Any civilization that has been poisoned by this Greek 'rational knowledge' has become this weak and powerless. The harm of reasoning Man, isn’t it obvious?”
At this time, not only Vlahos, but also other guests around him could not hold back.
"Little girl, how can you attack the sages like this?" A middle-aged man with a big beard said dissatisfied: "These are not simple black and white questions you think. They are closely related to our entire civilization. of."
"He was there first and said something about drama and philosophy. I just mentioned it casually." Shi Huizhen pointed at Vlahos and defended: "What I said was also a realistic situation. It can't be considered an attack, right? "
The other guests looked at Vlahos, not knowing what to say.
Those who understand drama will certainly understand the meaning of his words. Vlahos implies that Shi Huizhen, like Medea, is a crazy gentile woman.
He even integrated it into the allusion of Seris and knew that the origin of Shi Huizhen's nickname was Queen Seris, who was known for her crazy behavior and murder of her children. In one example, he cited two civilizations and allusions, Seris and Greece, to allude to each other. It can be said that he not only satirized Shi Huizhen, but also demonstrated his own cultural attainments.
The only problem is probably that Shi Huizhen didn't understand - of course, this actually doesn't matter. After all, the essence of debate is to be performed for third parties to see. It is enough to win the approval of the audience. From this perspective, Vlahos did win the first round.
The biggest surprise was that everyone couldn't beat Shi Huizhen, so they couldn't force the loser to leave. Under her persistence, he forced himself into the second round. In the second round, although the truth she told lacked logic, the problem was indeed real.
What is even more hesitant is that if you think about it carefully, this kind of behavior is indeed similar in form to the development of civilization: a civilization loses a game, but cannot take advantage of the situation to make it exit. This led to a new round and both sides changed to a new environment. Then, it’s hard to say what will happen.
Sure enough, after talking about this issue, everyone hesitated.
At this time, another lady stood up and accused in a sharp voice: "You are a typical copycat. You are just observing the phenomenon without theoretical analysis, which is not convincing at all. Because you can't prove where the root cause is."
"Moreover, the two of them just said that drama and philosophy are not just a single piece of knowledge, but are related to the entire Greek civilization." She pointed at Vlahos and the bearded middle-aged man. The two men also nodded proudly.
"The reason why the art of drama is important is that it is an important activity in the city-state and a way to express opinions, educate and call on citizens. Philosophy, also from the early wise men, is to meet the needs of citizens in city-state politics. It just developed and grew.”
"This should be very simple knowledge. Why doesn't this lady with the sword understand?" She asked: "Is it worthy of approval to criticize other people's civilization without knowing anything about it?"
Others nodded in agreement. After all, most of them are Greeks and they certainly don't want to accept this accusation. However, Shi Huizhen still disagreed.
"You are looking down upon me if you say I know nothing." She insisted: "Although I do not know much about philosophy, I still know the real historical events."
"You think philosophy and drama are part of the city-state culture, and I agree. Because I think that's where the problem lies."
"Don't you yourselves know how much the Greeks suffered because of their city-state habits?" She asked: "Because of this tradition, the entire civilization has been fighting among itself. When the country gets a little bigger, it will fight endlessly due to various contradictions. . Not even King Alexander can bring these people together."
"People say that in order to compete for a silver coin, two Greeks would each offer two silver coins to bribe foreigners to intervene. Is this a proud tradition?"
"What's the reason for the internal strife? It's because Greek civilization doesn't know unity and doesn't understand the principle of unification. The officials of the Song Dynasty were far less crazy than these people when they fought internally."
"They have been fighting among themselves for more than a thousand years, and finally lost the entire ancestral foundation. Then why don't they know how to unite? Isn't it because they are used to the recognition of city-states and can't unify at all?"
"And bribing foreigners - don't dodge, I'm asking you!" She pressed her sword and asked the lady just now: "Isn't bribing foreigners also a tradition in city-state politics? The Athenians take Sparta's money, and the Spartans Isn’t it normal to take money from the Persian governor? Do you think I don’t know where your habits come from?”
"Greek civilization does have a long history, I admit it. But look at what this civilization has done in the past two thousand years."
"The politics of the past two thousand years have all been democratic political operations, and they are just kitsch country wishes."
"The knowledge learned in the past two thousand years is all the knowledge of city-state culture, and they are just thieves who deceive the world."
"For two thousand years, the big thieves have colluded with Xiang Yuan, and Xiang Yuan has taken advantage of the big thieves. The two have always been inseparable and entangled by their own interests. And they both attributed their actions to Socrates. This is the essence of Greek Neophysics. The current situation!”
"I have always persisted in this kind of poisonous thinking and persisted in the theory that went wrong two thousand years ago. I claim to be a wise man, but I don't think about it, and I am proud of my deep study of this kind of thing. I always look down on ordinary people and despise others as uneducated. ." She scolded.
"Everyone, don't you think this behavior is ugly?"
There was silence.
