Shen-ming pressed down his pince-nez, cleared his throat, and said, "Mr.
Fang, what was it you were asking me that time?"
"When?" asked Hung-chien, bewildered.
"Before Miss Su came. "——Hung-chien could not recall——" It seems you were
asking me what philosophical questions I was studying, werent you?" To this usual question, Chu Shen-ming had a pat answer. Since Miss Su had not yet arrived, he had waited until now to show off.
"Oh, yes, yes."
"Strictly speaking, your statement has a slight fallacy. When a philosopher
encounters a question, his first step is to study the question. Is it a question or not? If its not, then its a pseudo-question which neednt and cant be solved. If it is a question, his second step is to study the solution. Is the traditional solution correct or should it be revised? You probably meant to ask not what question am I studying, but what question am I studying the solution of."
Fang Hung-chien was astounded, Tung Hsieh-chǖan was bored, and Miss Su was confused. "Marvelous!" exclaimed Hsin-mei. "A truly thorough analysis! Thats wonderful, wonderful! Hung-chien, youve studied philosophy, but you should be quite willing to take a back seat today. After such an excellent discussion, we should all have a glass."
At Hsin-meis insistence Hung-chien reluctantly took a couple of swallows,
saying, "Hsin-mei, I just muddled my way through a year in the philosophy department by reading a few assigned reference books. Before Mr. Chu I can only humbly ask for instruction."
Chu Shen-ming said, "Im unworthy! From what you say, Mr. Fang, it
seems you were taking the individual as a unit in reading philosophical works. That is only studying philosophers. At best its studying the history of philosophy, not philosophy itself. At most such a person could be a philosophy professor, but never a philosopher. I like using my own mind, not other peoples, to think. I read works of science and literature, but I never read works of philosophy unless I have to. A lot of so-called philosophers these days dont really study philosophy at all; they just study personalities of works in philosophy. Strictly speaking, they shouldnt be called philosophers, but rather philophilosophers. "
"Philophilosophers?" said Hung-chien. "Now thats an interesting term.
Did you coin that yourself?"
"Its a word someone saw in a book and told Bertie about, and Bertie told
me."
"Whos Bertie?"
"Russell."
