Wu wants to share his belief and pursuit in 'Holistic and Independent' with his friends and students.
Holistic indicates a balanced and interdisciplinary learning and practice life style. He has learned humanities, music, mathematics, scientific philosophy, management and business administration and he believes everyone has the potential to develop those interests.
Some people advocate 'Two cultures' in which one culture into logics and numbers while the other is of imagination and arts; and the two cultures they do not talk to each other. Furthermore, they explain that human's brain has two hemisphere and separately control the rational behavior and spiritual features. So, half of the people has a good right brain and the other half is used to prosper left brain.
However, Wu would like to remind: human does have a holistic brain? doesn't he?
Many of people, explicitly or implicitly, follow the idea of 'Two cultures' is a cultivated effect from the modern education system that divides learning processes into 'schools' and trivial majors.
Wu wants to clarify that majors are for categories of jobs and not for clusters of humans and grounded knowledge.
The greatest educators and masters always emphasize holistic development such as Confucius and Aristotle.
Independent points out a skepticism philosophy and trained capability of good taste.
It is much easier to say 'independent judgment' than to really implement it. People, unconsciously, are convinced to take evaluation from authority and common sense that are not necessary always to be true.
Wu wants to state the fact: in Europe, before the 15th century, the authority of knowledge, the power of explaining universe, the prestige symbol of truth was the church.
It happened in the history, it happens right now, and it will happen in the future. We are not really aware of it, if we do not have real independent characteristics.
