Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 184: Roman Academy

All of a sudden, everyone quarreled, some opposed Li Wei's theory, and some supported Li Wei's theory. In the end, everyone could only look at Plato's director Philo.

If you want to say that he is highly respected, it is none other than Philo.

The three greatest Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, are more or less related to Plato's academy.

Philo smiled and said, "We are philosophers who pursue the truth, why should we care about these things?"

"It's still the height of the director."

Some people praised it, but some people disagreed. Many philosophers rely on their own theories to make a living. If their own theories are proved to be wrong, who can be their students? How could they be the guests of those nobles?

"I think we should have a look at Livy's complete doctrine, which I think will be of great help to the development of philosophy."

Philo said.

"That's right, I'm going to ask him what he thinks about our school in two days."

someone said.

"I want to ask him what he thinks about the gods?"

Said by a somewhat treacherous philosopher.

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways at him, and some even walked away from him with disgust on their faces, even Filo was no exception.

Back then, Socrates was executed because of his disrespect to God, and Aristotle fled Greece because of his disrespect to God. Many philosophers here developed from their school, and of course they hated it very much.

The philosopher also knew that he had said the wrong thing, regretted it in his heart, and immediately shut up.

The weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

The Roman Academy was crowded with people, not only many citizens, but also some elders and senior officials came.

Hortensius, the director of the Roman Academy, watched all this happily, and went to greet some high-ranking officials or nobles from time to time.

Originally, he didn't want to take over the post of director. As an excellent speaker, he was more interested in politics.

But at that time, Su La's reputation was in full swing, and under Su La's pressure, he had no choice but to accept this position.

I didn't expect that he would become famous now. Now the Roman Academy is not only famous in the Mediterranean Sea, but will also be famous in history.

As the first director of the Roman Academy, he also took the opportunity to accumulate a lot of contacts, which will be of great help to his future political career.

At this moment, Li Wei and Su La walked over together, followed by a large number of senior officials and senior officials, and even the consul Catullus was with them.

Seeing this, Hortensius' expression became complicated, because Sura and his sister were having a heated fight recently, and they were already talking about marriage, which made him very tired.

Su La is around sixty years old, his body is full of festering marks, and his reputation is not good. His sister is only in her 30s, why did she fall in love with him?

But he quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, dear Levi, you are so great, you can achieve such great achievements at such a young age, even Socrates,

Plato and Aristotle are not as good as you at this age, and the whole of Rome is proud of you. "

Hearing this, Li Wei was startled.

Compared with those three great gods, this is putting him on fire.

"I just stood on the shoulders of giants, so I can see further."

Li Wei said very modestly.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants?"

Everyone recalled this sentence, feeling full of infinite philosophy.

They thought that Li Wei was being modest. Many people understood Greek philosophy, but Li Wei was the only one who could prove his theory.

"I must remember this sentence, I feel that I will definitely use it in the future."

Hortensius said with a laugh, and led them into the academy.

Li Wei looked at him a little strangely. If he remembered correctly, this buddy played a wife-swapping game with the moral gentleman Cato.

I have to say that the Romans just knew how to play!

"In addition to awarding you the medal of the Great Philosopher today, the Roman Academy also intends to award you the post of honorary director. What do you think?"

Sura asked.

"I do not mind."

Li Wei said that these are all false names to him.

The reason why he has been rejecting the position of director of the Roman Academy is because he feels that one day he will have a meeting with the students here.

Instead of stabbing your students sensationally in the future, it is better to keep a distance from the beginning.

Hortensius took them to a synagogue, where many Roman celebrities and Greek philosophers were communicating with each other because the ceremony had not yet begun.

Seeing Li Wei coming, many Greek philosophers immediately greeted him, but they turned dark faces towards Sura.

When Sulla went on an expedition to Greece, he offended these philosophers badly.

Although he didn't dare to scold Sura, he still had the courage to put on a face.

Su La looked indifferent. He was a former dictator for life and would be afraid of these philosophers.

It was with the intention of stomping on these philosophers that he invited them to Rome.

"Levy, how do you view the soul? Do you really think the soul is immortal?"

"What do you think of Plato's trichotomy of the soul?"

"Do you support Epicureanism or Stoicism?"

"..."

Everyone's questions annoyed Li Wei, and he was also in a cold sweat. These philosophers are really hard to dismiss. Fortunately, he has prepared his trump card, otherwise he would have to fall into their hands today.

At this moment Hortensius came to his aid and stopped them.

"Everyone, there is a question and exchange session before the official award ceremony. You can ask Levi questions at that time."

Hortensius said with a smile.

"All right then."

Those philosophers had no choice but to retreat, and only Philo stayed.

"Long time no see, Director Philo."

Li Wei said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's been almost four years. I regret leaving Rome, otherwise I might be able to witness all this with my own eyes."

Philo said with emotion on his face.

Cicero looked at Li Wei with envy. It is really scary that a person has achieved such a great achievement at a young age.

If it weren't for his age that restricted him, maybe he would have become a consul.

The auditorium was noisy, and after a while, it was finally time for the awards.

Hortensius took them outside, because the awards were held on the school's training ground.

"Dear consuls, senators, nobles and knights, and great Roman citizens, I feel extremely honored to be able to stand on today's podium..."

Then Hortensius, the director of the Roman Academy, gave a passionate speech. He could become the lifelong rival of the lawyer patriarch Cicero. His speech level was very high, and all the audience's emotions were mobilized by him. up.

He first praised Li Wei for a while, and then fully explained the great significance of this award. After the end, except for some Greek philosophers, basically everyone applauded desperately.
