读书札记三《A Short History of Chinese

P3 录：This kind of thinking is called reflective because it takes life as object. The theory  of life, the theory of the universe, and the theory of the universe arises because the universe is the background of life — the stage on which the drama of life takes place.

按：此处提到的“it takes life as object.”类似佛家经常有一种训练，叫做“内观”(look into your inner self)，其精要是“抽离与反观”。“内观”能够产生“the theory of life”大道，“the theory of universe”本源，及the theory of knowledge见地。这样的分类能达到一种“MECI”的状态，即mutually exclusive, collectively inclusive，相互排斥而全部包含。想要哲学在你这里发生，是让你能够抽离出来，来观察你背后的理性。
