What is public knowledge? The role of public knowledge in historical terms

Let's see. You know, it used to be a good word, and now there's a hot word on our network, known as the public intellectual. It's popular on our network. It's basically stigmatized. In fact, stigma has also been practised in the last four or five years. Let us say in full that, four or five years ago, outside the chinese network, knowledge was always a compliment。

What's public knowledge then? It is in the context of the careers of intellectuals that intellectuals can be divided into two broad categories: one called professional and the other known as public intellectuals。

What's an expert? As far as his profession is concerned, in our chinese words, he “does not listen, does not read” — an expert。

"intelligents fall into two main categories: one called professional and one called public intellectual."

What do you mean, public intellectual? It does not only do professional work, but also focuses on public affairs, discuss public affairs and participate in public affairs. In our chinese language, he looked into his own eyes: "the sound of the wind and the sound of the wind, the affairs of his country."。

Despite the knowledge of the term, there is an academic case, which originated 300 or 400 years ago during the french enlightenment. It's been passed to us in china for over a decade or two. But it is well known that this term has long existed throughout our history。

For example, we go back to the development of western civilization. In ancient greece, much was known, and many of us know socrates — the public. In addition to studying philosophy, there is regular participation in discussions of urban affairs. It was written that he was fed and drunk every day, without a network, that he went to the streets of athens to discuss issues with others, and that he had a very poor name for anyone who spoke. Finally, the national assembly was convened to sentence him to death and the charges for which he was sentenced were well known as “sacrifice, misleading youth”. You see, both of these are public issues。

By the time of the middle ages, there was a famous public knowledge, bruno. Not only study astronomy, but not only mastery of the sun, but also propaganda. Professionals went to propaganda, challenged the power of god, and finally burned alive, and knew what happened。

It's the same in recent times. Einstein, who is also a well-known representative, has not only made a great deal of progress in physics, but has also been extensively, deeply and actively involved in public life. The protection of human rights, for example, involved the protection of women's rights, the fight against nuclear weapons and the anti-nuclear campaign. Japan launched a war of aggression against china, and he stood up to it — so he was also known。

Returning to the process of civilized development and history in our country, it should be said that knowledge is also a dominant tone for our chinese intellectuals. How? Because the confucian culture, the main subject of our entire chinese civilization, began with a great deal of attention from confucius, so that it could be used, so deep in the heart. In a sense, there is a great deal of clarity about thinking。

Like many of our chinese intellectuals, there are a number of adages with obvious public knowledge. For example, “the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor and the poor, have a good sense of knowledge. There is also a strong sense of public awareness of us “to stand up for the heavens and the earth, to stand up for fame, to go to sanctuaries and to make peace for all”。

So from confucius to song dynasty intellectuals, to our modern and, rather, chinese intellectuals, this knowledge is very strong。

So, in terms of this understanding, first, it is a long-term existence throughout the history of civilization; secondly, in terms of the composition of intellectuals, it is an elite part of intellectuals compared to that of intellectuals; and thirdly, in terms of its specific role, it is a group that has a positive impact on the development of history。

Why, in recent years, has public knowledge been stigmatized on our chinese network, and what stigma has been added to this name, which has changed its taste? We will continue the discussion later. # military build-up #
