[Master Entrance Diary #1] Standing on the Philosophical Altitude to Study ︱ 【考研笔记#1】站在哲学高度去学习

Hello everyone, I am Alkaid, a student prepared to transfer from Transportation to Education.

In China, it is time to sign up for the master-level education entrance examination. Although I almost prepared around half a year, I still fell nerves because I feel my brain was just like soaking in the water and I did not remember anything important. I came back home and confirmed the sign-up, and discuss this situation with my dad.

We were trying to find out a solution, and I just answer what he asked according to the textbook which was referred to the examination. However, I even cannot answer the first question he asked me. I fell upset, then my dad explained the deeper meaning of every sentence in the textbook (just one question). I was shocked that whatever I asked then I read the book he can explain it for me, as known he did not study even any of that before. So how did he make it? How is that possible? I tried to find out an answer fit to all question so that I can apply the knowledge what I already have to explain the new knowledge and make a special and perfect answer(at least I hope it looks like 'perfect') in the examination.

Then I asked him is there any possibility to have a One-Fit-All answer or thinking mode. He told me,'Philosophical way.' When you stand on a hill of philosophy then you overlooking to the other subjects, you will feel them easier than when you onlooking from a single subject. Philosophy is the highest describe to the regularity, that is why philosophy makes people wisdom.

I ever studied critical thinking when I started my first lesson in England, I spent some time to understand this word and this thinking mode. And now I know I need to state my view from different angles and judge a case in different areas.

This reminds me of a book from Scott Young called 'Learn More Study Less'(I read the Chinese vision), he came up with a concept called Holistic Learning. Connected the knowledge from the different area will make your study more and better.

Perhaps from the philosophical side, we can learn some very basic regularity of all life, science, etc. Just like what Dao always said 'Dao produce One, One produces Two, Two produces Three, and the Tree produces everything'. If we understand the One, Two and Three, maybe it will be easier.

At last, I am Alkaid, Looking forward to meeting the new friend from Steem. If you have a better learning method, you can reply to me and discuss it.

近来考研报名接近尾声，作为往届生的我必须回到家里进行现场确认。感受到比较大的压力，虽然一直在学习，但对于记忆力不算给力的我，面对需要大量记忆的材料，真的显得手足无措。于是晚上和我爸坐在客厅里的时候，说起了照相记忆法，他为了向我说明成年人依然可以通过训练达到照相记忆法的效果，于是在快速比划手指的过程中要求我准确复述。而我认为这样的训练太过简单，无法达到效果，便和他争论起来，后来我们一致认为拿出考研知识点红宝书来背诵或许更有效果和考试针对性。

我爸随机翻开一页，问到，教育与社会关系的理论有什么？我原本以为这个问题，我能够轻松愉快地回答出来，毕竟我刚背过。然而真相总是残酷的，我开口就错，回答南辕北辙，这个情况瞬间让我就蔫了。

但我爸还是很认真地给我分析每一个知识点，告诉我，你不能把这些知识独立单独分割开，必须结合这个理论提出时的社会背景和原因加以分析，这样不仅有利于记忆也更有利于理解。

我看着那些问题，于是想到有没有一个答案，可以回答所有问题呢？于是我把这个问题，甩给了我老爸。一开始，他告诉我，没有，没有一个答案可以回答所有问题。而我内心深处告诉我，不，一定有一种答案，可以应用于任何学科，任何背景，解决问题。于是我又问他：“有没有一种回答问题的答案模式（思维逻辑）可以应用于所有知识和学科呢？”这次，他肯定的告诉我，有！哲学！

哲学是一门使人获得智慧的学问，而站在哲学的高度，去看待一般学科，就好似从金字塔顶端看下去，每一层的内容都简单明了且清晰。

于是我们提出了一个问题，然后尝试从哲学和教育学两个角度来分析，再尝试从其他学科角度来解决这个问题，结合多个角度的观点，再总结出看上去毕竟比较中肯的回答。就这样一个晚上大约3小时左右的电视新闻时间，我和老爸讨论了关于马克思提出的共产主义产生的前提，为什么要实事求是，进化论观点是否正确，以及批判性思维等。

曾在英国上过2年学，当我到达英国开始学习，第一节课程就是Critical Thinking，即批判性思维。这样的教育在我过去的学生生涯中并未作为学校正规教育内容出现过，但我是幸运的，因为我父母在初高中时期就不断强调批判性思维的重要性。但在那之前，我对这个词虽然耳熟能详，却无法理解其内在的涵义。

不得不承认，哲学的确锻炼人的思辨能力，过去我看待问题，通常都是单一角度分析，即使有时可以联系到多个学科，也是较为少数的情况。这里我不得不提到一本书，叫做《如何高效学习》，斯科特·扬在书中提出一种“整体性学习”的观点。我最先注意到这本书，是因为介绍一句话吸引了我

“10天搞定线性代数，1年学习4年MIT课程”

想想就觉得这是一件多么爽的事情，如果能够学会快速学习方法，那么我岂不是可以学完物理学数学，学完英语学法语，甚至学会10门外语也不是什么难事，更重要的在于，我再也不用担心考试我不会。

但很遗憾，我虽然读完了这本书，但在我真正实施的时候，遇到的困难远大于我所预估的。我并没有因此变得更厉害，甚至连英语和中文都还不是那么完美。这也许和我所看的是中文译版有关，有些概念翻译者讲的不是那么清楚。

也许只有站在哲学的高度去学习，掌握了万千知识的一般规律，才能更好地运用和理解知识。正如同老子所言“道生一，一生二，二生三，三生万物”，学会了一二三，也许就能组合出很多的东西。

那么小伙伴们都有哪些针对文科知识比较推荐的学习经验和方法，来求拯救我这个苦逼的考研少女~
