"Fang Nian Fang Nian, wait for us."

At this time, Su Zhi's shout came from behind.

Fang Nian looked back, paused slightly, and said hello: "Good evening."

Not only Su Zhi and Gao Jie were chasing after them, but also two other group members: Zeng Yi and Luo Qiao.

After more than two months, I have had several group classes. I usually sit at the front and back desks in class, so I have become very familiar with them.

After the four girls came over chattering, Su Zhi glanced at Fang Nian and asked, "Would you like some bread? It's delicious."

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you, I just finished eating."

Su Zhi said: "Ah, it's so early. We all plan to eat after the group discussion class."

It's indeed early, it's only six o'clock.

After all, college life is different from high school, and meal times are no longer so rigidly fixed.

While talking and laughing, a few people arrived in the classroom.

Everyone from the philosophy class has arrived.

The classroom atmosphere of this kind of course is very relaxed, and it still counts as credit, so no one usually skips it.

Not long after, the professor also arrived in the classroom.

"What we are going to discuss this time is a big question, which needs to be divided into two parts. It is called: What is political philosophy."

The professor continued: "Of course, our focus is to discuss the article "Socrates' Defense."

Fudan’s group discussions are actually not limited to majors, and even cover all majors intentionally.

Especially during my freshman year.

However, Fang Nian did not expect that this course, which is not part of the current Fudan philosophy education teaching system, would appear in the discussion class.

But, again, as long as political philosophy is mentioned, "The Apology of Socrates" cannot be avoided.

The professor added: "Yale University has a video course on Introduction to Political Philosophy. After the discussion class, I suggest you take the time to watch it."

"In this discussion class, we will only discuss the first part of the full text of "Self-Defense."

"..."

According to the arrangement of the professor, the discussion courses will be from shallow to advanced.

This lesson will not entirely touch upon the essential question: whether freedom of thought and political life can coexist.

Let’s discuss Socrates’ initial defense statement for the moment.

Although this part occupies the longest length.

But after the professor assigned the goals, the class was quiet for less than ten minutes.

This is different from the book Fang Nian read. The information only contains the entire process of Socrates' self-defense.

This time I only asked to see the first part, Socrates’ self-defense statement, and I was allowed to watch and discuss it at the same time.

"Fang Nian, how about we discuss first who will speak on behalf of our group later." Gao Jie suddenly said.

Hearing this, Fang Nian said without raising his head: "I think you are the most suitable."

Gao Jie followed suit and said the same thing: "I also think you are the most suitable."

"..."

In the end, this matter fell on Fang Nian, which made Fang Nianqi slightly puzzling: "As the league secretary of our class, shouldn't you set an example?"

He said in a noble voice: "It was me before, but I won't do it this time."

So, after a long time, Fang Nian stood on the podium again, this time in a different place, at Fudan.

"Welcome Fang Nian to speak on behalf of the group."

The professor said with a smile: "First of all, regarding Socrates' self-defense statement, what is your opinion after reading it and discussing it in the group?"

Fang Nian, who was standing on the podium, spoke calmly and slowly: "After our reading and discussion, we concluded that Socrates was a man who pursued perfection. Even when he was accused of a very serious crime at the time: blasphemy against God, his speech remained the same.

Perfect……"

"He disdained to incite the democratic courts of the day..."

"..."

"The above represents our discussion point of view."

This speech was not long.

It was Fang Nian who actually stood on the podium at Fudan University and explained his views as a student.

The result, of course, was that there was no result.

The purpose of discussion rather than debate is very clear, and it allows for the existence of different thinking without seeking common ground while reserving differences.

There was even a small group of people who didn't care what Fang Nian said.

But Fang Nian still received the most attention since entering college.

"Fang Nian stood on the podium and spoke very nicely." This is Su Zhi.

"To be honest, we were all led to think so deeply by Fang Nian, right?" This is Luo Qiao.

"..."

Some boys also expressed their opinions in a low voice.

"Why do I feel that Fang Nian is different from the rumors? He spoke completely in the form of a discussion."

"Perhaps, we have preconceived ideas from the beginning..."

"..."

Philosophy is sometimes a wonderful major.

As you learn, you will feel like you are nothing.
