Tips

history

In 1923 he gave a lecture at Tsinghua on the 人生观, 'outlook on life', arguing that science cannot settle how a person should live. The geologist 丁文江 replied in print, and the debate on science and metaphysics that followed drew in most of the leading thinkers of the day.

mistakes

劢 means 'to strive'. It looks like 励 'to encourage' without its top-left frame, but it is a different character with a different reading.
