"Communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth alone, but not in all things. Don't condemn right and wrong, but deal with the world."-"Zhuangzi Tianxia Pian" I
just finished reading "Beautiful Mind" ("Beautiful Mind") today.
Translating the names of foreign films is definitely an annoying thing: for this film, Beautiful Mind is far from expressing the meaning of "Beautiful Mind" in the film. Mind should not only be translated as mind and spirit, but more brain and intelligence. "Beautiful Mind"-"Perfect Mind".
The protagonist in the film is based on John Forbes Nash, a mathematician who suffers from schizophrenia, but has devoted himself to research in the fields of game theory and differential geometry and won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Although his mathematical genius described in the film is not much but it is very exciting. According to my understanding, the important original theory pursued by Nash in the film-balance theory (non-cooperative game theory), as he accurately deduced The formula of a group of pigeons fighting for food is trying to explain the world by mathematical methods that he is familiar with. Pure reason, logic or mathematics is the way Nash as an individual recognizes the objective existence and the material world. Just as the truth of the world exists in a mysterious garden in a far corner, everyone may have their own way to understand and explore. This kind of understanding is to get rid of the shackles of the mundane, and leave the mediocre annoyance, it is completely like a trip alone, joy and admiration is difficult to talk to others.
So Nash at the end of the film Nobel Prize lecture hall published, said:
"Always the I've believed in a Numbers and the Equations and at The Logics that Lead to reason."
"All along, I've always believed in numbers, equations, and is the logical explanation of the world Dimension."
This is really wonderful. In my opinion, everyone should be like Nash. For example, painters have brushes, composers have musical notes, performers have musical instruments, calligraphers have pen and ink, poets have writing, mathematicians have functional equations, and agriculture. People rely on farming, craftsmen have craftsmanship, and philosophers rely on meditation, just as everyone has their own set of language to understand and explore the world. You don’t need to speak it out, and you slowly disintegrate and converge in your heart. Experience Han swimming. Gradually, you will realize the truthfulness of nature, human nature, and art. You can feel the infinity in your palm and eternally being collected in that instant.
What I like the most about Mr. Wang Guowei is the perfect footnote to the above-mentioned happiness:
" My wife has accumulated years and months of research, and once she suddenly understands the truth of the universe and life, or with a dazed and elusive mood in her chest, once it is expressed Above words, paintings, and sculptures, one solidifies the development of the other's natural ability, and the happiness at this time is definitely not something that the king of the south can change." ("On the vocation of the philosopher and the artist")
Human Each has different endowments, and each has its own specialization. How can one "understand the truth of the universe and life once suddenly"?
"Truth-seeking and Joyful Learning" is the entrance to enjoy happiness and communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth.
Mr. Wang Guowei said:
“Scholars will not shy away from deep and mysterious thinking; scholars will not hesitate to ridicule and tedious.”
This is an amazing ability for scholars, and Nash didn’t already have it when he was studying in Princeton.” Is it a long and cumbersome ridicule?" Nash's drafts all over the room, and the mathematical equations on the glass of the Princeton Library are not "deep and mysterious thoughts"?
The reason why a genius becomes a genius is roughly the same.
But the ordinary people of us are ordinary and we are all helpless.
Finally, I attach a sentence that Jacoby said to Fourier, once again expressing the respect of those mathematicians who are diligently seeking pure rationality:
"The only purpose of science is the glory of human thought, and we should know that under this view, the problem of number is related to The problems of the universe system are of equal value."
