/kloc-At the age of 0/2, Shelley entered Eton College. The principal at that time was Dr. Kit appointed by King George III. One of Dr. Kit's creeds is that "whipping" is a necessary means to make "perfection".
"son! Don't think about it! Otherwise, I will whip you until I stop thinking! " Lying is a sign of respect for the teacher. This is the headmaster's famous saying. Eton College advocates reading dead books and despises and despises science. The so-called "apprentice" system prevails among students, and younger brothers and sisters must become slaves of older sisters, not only to make beds and fold quilts for them, but also to be beaten if they are slightly disobedient. Most children are afraid of the arrogance of older children and have to be slaves. However, Shelley did not submit to humiliation like ordinary freshmen. He defied openly and refused to obey the "student servant system". He doesn't listen to his seniors. Shelley thought: they are rude, I want to be gentle and polite; They are the jungle, so I must sympathize with the weak. He vowed to be fair, intelligent and free, and never gave in to authority, even if he could only choose silence. As a result, he was declared a "rogue" and a "crazy Shelley". Shelley's rebellious personality burned his short life like fire.
18 10, Shelley entered Oxford university. It seems that there is more freedom here than Eton College. He indulged in the study of natural science all day, piled up his physical and chemical experimental instruments all over the room, and was still reading the philosophical and political works of Rousseau, Voltaire, Locke and Hume in France. Shelley not only had rich knowledge of philosophy and politics, but also his knowledge of natural science was amazing at that time. Deeply influenced by the works of British free thinkers Hume and godwin, Shelley habitually wrote his own ideas about God, politics and society in pamphlets, distributed them to some strangers, and asked their opinions after reading them.
Before the winter vacation that year, Shelley's father received a letter from the printer, and Shelley wanted to print a draft novel by Saint Ihlwan (or Rosie Klosin), some of which were "inappropriate" and quite "dangerous". Shelley's father was furious and informed the publisher that he refused to pay the printing fee. When Shelley came home from vacation, she was not only left out by her parents, but also lost her first love. After returning to school, Shelley bravely resisted. He printed a booklet entitled "On the Inevitability of Atheism" elsewhere, which was not only sold publicly, but also sent a copy to each bishop in a challenging way, asking them to refute it. However, the author's name, he signed a pseudonym. The Oxford authorities immediately invited Shelley for questioning. Get him to admit that he wrote the book. Shelley replied according to English law: "You have no right to force me to answer this question! I have the right to refuse. Isn't the state stipulated' freedom of the press'? " But he was immediately expelled from Oxford University, and his old friend Hogg was attacked by him and was also expelled.
On the inevitability of atheism is a powerful materialist work. Its argument is that to prove the existence of God, there must be three aspects of evidence, namely, sensory experience, reason and "testimony" in the holy book. Newton assumed the existence of God because he could not explain the motive force of the universe. But isn't this more unreasonable? Who created God? So atheism is inevitable.
Shelley's paper is a fierce attack on politics at that time, because religion was a manifestation of politics at that time. After Shelley was fired, there was no life. Shelley's father is an old-fashioned squire. He took the opportunity to get Shelley to submit and asked him to publicly declare that he had nothing to do with the necessity of atheism, but Shelley refused and was expelled from the house. Later, under the mediation of relatives and friends, Shelley's father agreed to give him 200 pounds a year for living expenses.
The stubborn father stopped helping Shelley, which made his life very difficult. But this did not dampen his revolutionary spirit. He has always called on the masses to be moral and intelligent people in order to win international respect and support and realize national freedom and religious liberation.
18 15 1, Shelley's grandfather passed away. According to the eldest son inheritance law at that time, Shelley's father decided that Shelley could get an annual allowance of 1000 and pay off Shelley's debts for many years. From the autumn of this year, Shelley gradually entered the heyday of creation.
1822 On July 8th, Shelley returned to Rerikh by boat from Livorno, and suddenly encountered a storm on the way, and the boat was overturned, ending the poet's 30-year-old young life. It was several long days and nights before people found his body on the beach. According to local laws, anything floating from the sea must be burned, so Shelley's body was cremated by Byron and Trelawney.
Shelley's ashes were sent to Rome and buried in the Protestant cemetery next to the Pyramid of Theseus. The tombstone is engraved with the poet's name: percy bysshe shelley. Under his name, there are two Latin words: One Heart. This concise inscription is his wife Mary's evaluation of his character, and it is also the most authentic and profound praise for Shelley.
Marx evaluated Shelley as "a true revolutionary and a socialist deep-water bomb forever".
Shelley spent his whole life fighting for a fair and free "new world" for people with his own pen. He realized his own value, but this is not his pride, but the highest honor that people give him-"the heart of all." Many people struggle to realize their self-worth all their lives. People's value should not be limited to the "ego", but should be exiled to the "ego" to release and sublimate human nature.
