2018 Sping：COHERENCE  共振

In the 2013 movie Coherence, eight friends experience at a dinner party a troubling chain of reality twisting events. An astronomical anomaly unfold complex mysteries, that causes severe relationship dramas. Coherence asks us to think about parallel worlds. Is our world just one manifestation of the underlying parallel world structure? How many parallel world do people really live in? How do companies operate their parallel multi business operations? Why do we encounter unexpected problems? Where do they come from? 

The word “coherence” defines itself in general as an esthetic consistent relationship of parts, or the quality of comprehensible language or thoughts. Words related to coherence are; unity, congruity, agreement, correspondence, rationality, concordance, and more. 

Coherence in philosophy is sometimes minced as "the whole"? Is there only one absolute single system which truth is based on? In general, the underlying parts of the coherence system is fatal for judging validity of one particular truth. Moreover a paradigm shift is only accepted after a critical mass of people understand and accept its value. It is to state that "truth" only exist in within a system and doesn't exist outside of a system. Does it sound coherent to you? Only when a number of people join this “coherent” system, that the truth would finally be accepted and transmitted.

What are the believes that people actually hold about truth? How do we specify this particular set of system components? What are the defaults and errors that distract coherence and our truth? The philosopher Brand Blanshard coined once; "What mind is like can be understood only from within." And the pioneering philosopher Baruch Spinoza claimed;"Be not astonished at new ideas; for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.". Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who invented a digital mechanic calculator in the year of 1672 said; "We live in the best of all possible worlds."

This spring, at TEDxFuxingPark, we present you a series of speakers who's life was heavily influenced by the quest of seeking the truth after discovering problems or setbacks, that boosted new energy, life advancements and ideas. The Chinese Word for "crisis" is composed of two characters "危机". The former US President John F. Kennedy used it in his speeches to tell that one of the characters represents "danger" and the other one stands for "opportunity".  Are you with us? Come, and find out all the misteries in life and universe.

在2013年的电影《彗星来的那一夜》中，八个朋友在参加一个派对的过程中体验了一系列扭曲时间的让人崩溃的连锁事件。天文学的异常现象影响了现实的奥秘，继而导致剧中人关系的复杂扭曲。本剧中，共振的现象让我们思考平行宇宙的可能性。我们的世界只是潜在的平行世界结构的体现么？人们究竟在多少个平行世界里平行地生活着？为什么我们总是遇到令人纠结的难题，这些难题又从何而来？

”Coherence“一词通常被定义为美学一致关系，或者是语言或思想的一致性。与其有关的词包括：一体性，一致性，协同，同理性，协调性，理性等等…在这里，我们将其理解为“共振”。

哲学的一贯性有时被简化为“整体”？是否只有一个真相所给予的绝对单一制度？一般来说，在共同体的内涵之下，其隐含的部分对于判断其本身的真实性是十分关键的。其次，一个范式的转变只有当够多的人群普遍接受其观点之后才能存在。也就是说，“真相”只存在于系统之内，而不存在于系统以外。只有当一定数量的人共同加入这种“共振”，真理才会被传播并被广为接受。

关于真相，人们到底在坚持些什么？我们如何分类这些系统性的组成部件？什么又是干扰着“共振”和真相的因素？哲学家Blanshard说道：“只有从内部才能了解心智。”而先锋哲学家Brauch Spinoza则主张：”不要对新的想法感到惊讶，因为众所周知，事物并不因为它还不被许多人所接受而不再是真实的。”1672年发明数学机械计算器的Gottfried Wilhlm说道：“我们生活在所有可能的世界中的最好的一个。”

这个四月，TEDx复兴公园试图为你展现：

一系列来自不同背景的演讲人，他们的生活均被他们努力的探索真理的努力所影响，他们遇到过困难和失败，这些困难却反过来成为他们的新动力。就像肯尼迪曾经说过的那样：中文的“危机”一词由“危”=危险，”机“=机会，两字组成。来吧，和我们一起共振，探索生命中的的真谛。
