    It's ok. After reading the script, I think it's still the best in China. I never let religion do anything like war. Maybe it's because our culture has always been better than religion. I feel that local religion is a derivative of culture. Taoism It can be seen in Journey to the West, which is still very acceptable. There are all kinds of...

    First of all, it should be said that this is a story about a woman born in the wrong era. Such a great, dedicated and erudite woman was born in the era of the rise of Christianity. She believed in science and was ruthlessly put on the symbol of witch, humiliating to death! Secondly, this is a movie about faith, in which poor people use their faith to do whatever they want, kill their dissidents, of course, they are ignorant, but other than that, I think faith is survival for...

    The epic film, the story is detailed, and the big scene as the background also makes me, a person who is confused about the history of Christianity, understand very well. The emotional drama between the two men and Hypatia is very moving. Knowledge and wisdom are vulnerable to the violence of fanatical religion and ignorance, not to mention a woman who is determined to pursue the sun, the moon and the stars, and said that she only believes in philosophy. The civilized history of mankind's...

    intellectual death


    This reminds me of after the so-and-so movement, so-and-so said: The intellectuals are in the middle, and the two sides are not people!
    The government thinks that you intellectuals are not good for provoking the people, and that the role of the masses as the intellectuals is not complete, so you...

    What is Faith?

    It was originally a film review for the philosophy of religion course = = There are still many places for reference. But in the end, I decided to post it~

    From "Agora", it is not difficult to see that when there is an extreme monopoly in a place, then there will naturally be a force to rise up and...

Agora quotes

  • Hypatia: [Looks up at night sky] If I could just unravel this just a little bit more, and just get a little closer to the answer, then... Then I would go to my grave a happy woman.

  • Heladius Dignitary: The majority of us here... have accepted Christ. Why not the rest of you? It's only a matter of time and you know it.

    Hypatia: Really? It is just a matter of time?... As far as I am aware, your God has not yet proved himself to be more just or more merciful than his predecessors. Is it really just a matter of time before I accept your faith?

    Heladius Dignitary: Why should this assembly accept the council of someone who admittedly believes in absolutely nothing?

    Hypatia: I believe in philosophy.
