周末的早餐桌上,和女儿轻松聊天,说到做梦,我顺便给她讲了庄生梦蝶的故事。 下面是我们的对话。 我:This is a very famous philosophical question, you
know. How do we know that everything we
see around us is not an illusion? How do
we know that this is not just a part of someone’s dream? 女儿: You don’t need to know. 我: Don’t need to know? 女儿: Yah, I don’t
need to know. I am doing just fine. If I am in someone’s dream, that means I am
pretty likable. Haha... So I am just gonna enjoy my days……in whatever. Beat that, Philosopher! 我: 哈哈哈。。。 (这时候LD走过来,我转过头问) 我: 你知道庄生梦蝶的故事吗? LD: What??? (一个白眼,耐着性子三言两语解释一番) 我: The question is how we know that all of this really
exist, and our existence is not just a part of a dream or illusion. LD: How do you define “exist”? (彻底放弃!这时小女儿在一旁问姐姐“what
is philosopher?”) 姐姐: A philosopher is a person who
asks questions to make people doubt and confuse themselves. 妹妹: Why do they do that? 姐姐: It’s their job, they get paid
to do that. It’s weird, ya? 妹妹: Yah, It’s kind of mean……
Happy New Year! |

漫人: 书是给十四、五岁孩子们看的,正是为了配合他们自我意识觉醒的时刻。你们家孩子成熟早,可以早看一点哈。![]()

yuren: 是吗?也应该有些方面像爸爸。![]()
我想,这是因为你们对文史部分感兴趣的东西不太交叉,所以你对她现在的影响就小些。再大一些就更像你了。 ...
