1. Irrational Man (2015) is not limited to love, as can be seen from the original title. This movie is about everything about life, even politics. In my opinion, this movie shows Fromm's famous saying: "If logic is not guided by the care of life, it is not rational, but develops into a perverse intellectual activity." So the philosophy professor in the story is full of hype. His philosophical theories were distorted by the projection of his desires, and eventually reduced to specious fallacies and pretty words. The Seventeenth of the Analects of Confucius:
The Master said, "Li Yun and Li Yun, are jade and silk clouds clouded? Music clouds are music clouds, and bells and drums are clouded?"
2. Teacher Xin Yiyun's Analects of Confucius, Volume 178:
The Master said, "If there is a king, he will be in the world and then benevolent." Confucius believed that even if there is a sage leader, the so-called king, and the emperor with a sage, it will take thirty years to rule the country and the world— - Thirty years is one life. It takes one lifetime to implement the benevolence and the Dao in the world, and the promotion of the benevolence and the Dao in the world means that all the people have more or less the awakening of life, and even remove the old bad habits in the awakening of life, Only when there is true sympathy and love for life - at this time, the peace of the world and the happiness of mankind can be promoted.
In modern times in the West, we start from the First World War. Nearly twenty years after the First World War, the Second World War gradually began. From the Second World War to today, in fact, various wars have continued. Visible and invisible wars have never stopped. Western powers have tighter control over the world's energy resources, more and more fine-grained control over food, and ever-changing financial operations. It is not only the weaker countries in the world who are living more and more difficult, but also some big countries. The earth-shaking changes are being handled, and people's lives are becoming less and less free, because everything seems to be controlled by an invisible network. Today's ISIS and ISIS's anger is burning more and more, but to this day Western powers are still using this fire to let it burn and shake many countries. We can say that the material civilization, science and technology of the whole world have really made indescribable progress, but human love and sympathy seem to be common, especially in the political world, so that human beings have greater anxiety and anxiety . We can see from this that Confucius said, "If there is a king, there will be a world and then benevolence." This is to teach people to love and sympathize with life, that is, to make people have love in their hearts and be able to practice benevolence. Through education, it is necessary to be inspired to develop human consciousness-because consciousness is the highest source of human thinking, cognition, and creativity, when human consciousness can be developed, human nature (note, not biological, Only this part of human nature can begin to unfold, and talents are no longer restricted by human biology; when human beings are no longer restricted by biology, human beings will have the possibility to practice benevolence, and the world will have benevolence and benevolence. True human love; from here, there is the possibility of peace.
There is an American film, Irrational Man (2015), made by American film genius Woody Allen. The story is about a famous and insightful professor of philosophy, especially his focus on morality and ethics, who he passed Starting from the moral ethics since Kant, and grasping the conflict between these philosophers' philosophical views and real life, he seems to be influenced by modern Western existentialism, and does not think that metaphysical theory is the only real world or the only real world. The truth is that the real and concrete life is the real world, at least, it is also the real world and shows the truth. Therefore, human love must play a role in the specific world, not a purely theoretical issue; when love plays a role in the real and realistic world, each person's life has meaning, and at the same time, in such a practical world Only when love can be embodied in life, people will feel their own sense of life and existence. Only in this way will human existence be meaningful and authentic.
In this way, according to the theory, he gradually approached one of his whims: "How can people do this kind of love?" Then he unexpectedly learned that a judge who was not ideal and unjust had a problem with some people. Some harm, so he thinks that no matter how we demonstrate, no matter what we do, we can't change the world, and we can't stop the war. Well, let's get rid of the wicked. This is also the expression of love, and it is the expression of effective love . We can't do love, we remove the wicked as an expression of love, and he does. In the end, he finally died in the trap he set.
Woody Allen uses a lighthearted and humorous tone, including music, to debate through clear and understandable words, showing the current people and those who are subject to Western philosophical problems, that is, their metaphysical theory and real life. Those who have distanced themselves from the impact of the conflict that has formed come to see the plight of people's lives in today's Western society. This conflict, the distance and conflict between theory and reality, is indeed a common feature of Western philosophy, even Western religion, and even Western academics and Western culture, and it is also a common big problem! There is not only a distance between metaphysical theory and concrete life, but also opposite contradictions. Although science and technology have solved some of people's ailments and increased the food or wealth that people can have materially, it does not mean that people can be happy or obtainable. This distance cannot be resolved, and this is because Western philosophy, academia, civilization, and culture always focus on the exploration of the external world, and the conclusion of this exploration and the conclusion of the universe are regarded as absolutely true truths, but in real life everyone Still live according to the instinctive impulses of biology, because Freud said that "human nature is like the impulses of biological instinctive desires", and Darwin also said that "man comes from living things, and man is living things". Therefore, the biological nature of human beings, that is, animal nature, the instinctive desire of animals, and the metaphysical, universal, absolute truth and truth of the universe that human beings are exploring are very difficult to coincide. In this way, how people practice human love, especially love is only a temporary impulse, then the disappearance of love makes people go to nothingness. Without the possession of love and the practice of love, people cannot live a truly peaceful and happy life; a life without love, and a life where love becomes unreal, makes life meaningless; , or inspire a moment of intense burning love, but can not ignite the true spark of life and the power of life. The film presents this part, with a humorous tone, and it's very funny.
If you have watched this movie, and then think about it again, and the love that the Analects said, the awakening of life and self-awakening, and then from the awakening of life and self-awakening, human nature stretches out from the basis of biology , through the wisdom brought by this awakening, that is, the so-called consciousness, people begin to have the ability to coordinate and balance these conflicts and opposites. People can coordinate and reconcile them through self-awareness, and even people can exchange this opposition between heaven and man to achieve harmony, so that life has authenticity and meaning. In the establishment of this kind of truth and meaning, people can be very sure of the existence of their own existence, and will never feel that life is empty.
