Fang Zhouzi: “Ulcer—Confronting Academic Corruption in China”

History of Science & Scholarship2006.01.31
Fang Zhouzi: “Ulcer—Confronting Academic Corruption in China”
Fang Zhouzi: “Ulcer—Confronting Chinese Academic Corruption,” Hainan Publishing House, June 2001 Pages 328–329 Q: Could you give a few examples to explain the corruption in Chinese academia? A: The corruption in Chinese academia mainly manifests itself in these several ways: 1. Plagiarism of papers. For example, Professor Yang Jing’an, director of the Artificial Intelligence Application Research Office at Hefei University of Technology, has plagiarized at least five foreign papers over the past few years, and basically copied them word for word from beginning to end, with not a single result of his own. His brazenness is shocking. 1. Plagiarism of papers. For example, Professor Yang Jing’an, director of the Artificial…

[Eng] Martin Oliver: “The History of Philosophy”

Philosophy & Thought2006.01.31
[Eng] Martin Oliver: “The History of Philosophy”
[Eng] Martin Oliver: The History of Philosophy, translated by Wang Hongyin, Hope Publishing House, October 2003 This is neither a rigorous, in-depth academic book, nor a particularly illuminating or useful introductory guide; it is nothing more than an excessively flashy, so-called “illustrated” popular read. The only reason I thought of reading it was that I happened to pick it up and, since I had bought it before, figured I might as well read it rather than leave it unread; so I leafed through it once. Of course, although I would not recommend this book, it would also be wrong to say that it is merely all style and no substance….

[German] Ernst Cassirer: An Essay on Man

[German] Ernst Cassirer: An Essay on Man
[German] Ernst Cassirer: An Essay on Man, translated by Gan Yang, Xiyuan Publishing House, 2nd edition, July 2004 It seems I read this book a very long time ago, and it was the Shanghai Translation Publishing House edition; but I have forgotten almost everything I read. Now I happened to pick up a discounted copy bought somewhere for 30 percent of the original price, and I don’t even know whether it is genuine or pirated, a good edition or a bad one. In any case, I just picked it up and gave it another quick read. This book is also introductory in nature. In a not very long span of…

[German] Luckmann: “The Invisible Religion”

Culture & Public Commentary2006.01.28
[German] Luckmann: “The Invisible Religion”
[German] Luckmann: The Invisible Religion: The Problem of Religion in Modern Society, translated by Qinfang Ming, China Renmin University Press, October 2003 This book was published in 1967, and we can see that even after forty years, its insights still feel strikingly up to date. For me, this was an inspiring read; I did not study it especially carefully, but read it through in one breath while standing up (though I still did read every word from beginning to end). I have always felt that all the predicaments faced by modern society can ultimately be traced back to two topics—science and religion—and, in particular, when examining Western society and Western…

Zhao Lin: “Hegel’s Philosophy of Religion,” Wuhan University Press, April 2005

Philosophy & Thought2006.01.27
Zhao Lin: “Hegel’s Philosophy of Religion,” Wuhan University Press, April 2005
Zhao Lin: Hegel’s Philosophy of Religion, Wuhan University Press, April 2005 Philosophy of religion is a rather important link in Hegel’s thought. In fact, Hegel’s entire system of thought can be called a kind of rational theology. Concern with religion runs through Hegel’s whole life, and the contradictions and uncertainties in his view of religion are precisely the fuse that triggered the split in the Hegelian school. For that reason, philosophy of religion ought to be an excellent entry point for studying Hegel. This book is both highly organized and theoretically deep; in fact, it can also be read as a guide to Hegel’s thought. Of course, it is also…

Sun Xiaoli, editor: Philosophical Debates on Modern Science

Sun Xiaoli, editor: Philosophical Debates on Modern Science
Sun Xiaoli, ed.: *Philosophical Disputes in Modern Science*, 2nd ed., Beijing University Press, August 2003, (editor in charge: Su Xiangui~~, Gu Weiyu) Du XunSun Xiaoli: New Features of Modern Mathematics Pages 8–9 While mathematics was moving toward “specialization” and “complexification,” many ideas in the major disciplines were gradually becoming unified, and the boundaries among the major disciplines were becoming increasingly blurred. Therefore, although the content of mathematical science is immensely abundant and its scope enormous, the holistic conception of mathematics has reappeared, and workers in all kinds and branches of mathematical science have once again realized that they are engaged in a common undertaking. ////——This is good news. Liu Xiaoli:…

[U.S.] Tom Rockmore: “Hegel: Before and After”

Philosophy & Thought2006.01.26
[U.S.] Tom Rockmore: “Hegel: Before and After”
[U.S.] Tom Rockmore: “Hegel: Before and After—An Introduction to the Historical Thought of Hegel,” translated by Ke Xiaogang, Peking University Press, April 2005 This is a very good introduction to Hegel’s thought. As the blurb on the cover says: “The main aim of this book is to provide a very simple—but by no means simplistic—road into Hegel, serving as a guide to the thought of a man who belongs among the most important philosophers of all time.” After reading this book, I have deeply felt the profundity and importance of Hegel’s thought, even though my appreciation of Kant’s philosophy still seems to far exceed my appreciation of Hegel’s. But I…

Deng Xiaomang: Lectures on Hegel’s Dialectic

Philosophy & Thought2006.01.24
Deng Xiaomang: Lectures on Hegel’s Dialectic
Deng Xiaomang: Lectures on Hegel’s Dialectics, Peking University Press, October 2005 The immediate consequence of finishing this book is that the image of Mr. Deng Xiaomang in my mind has taken a big hit! Of course, Mr. Deng’s views and arguments are relatively profound, and the rigor and perseverance he showed in translating the Three Critiques have always made me admire him. However, the problem is that this book is a lecture transcript of his course for undergraduates, and I think the simplistic critical style he displays when teaching undergraduates and beginners is irresponsible. In particular, as for his appraisals of Chinese culture, the simplistic denigration he practices is very…

Selected Diary Entries of Kierkegaard

Selected Diary Entries of Kierkegaard
[Denmark] Søren Kierkegaard: Selected Kierkegaard Diaries, selected and edited by [Denmark] Peter P. Rohde, translated by Yan Kejia and Yao Beiqin, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences Press, 1996 Kierkegaard is one of the philosophers of irrationalist currents whom I admire rather more. What I admire in him chiefly are his “three stages of life” and his view of religion (it seems that a thinker’s attitude toward religion is what most determines how much I like him; only after that comes his attitude toward science). Of course, admiring a thinker’s ideas does not in the least mean agreeing with them. I take a reserved attitude overall toward the excerpts below that…

Zhao Tingyang: “On Possible Life”

Philosophy & Thought2006.01.23
Zhao Tingyang: “On Possible Life”
Zhao Tingyang: “On Possible Life—A Theory Concerning Happiness and Justice,” Renmin University of China Press, July 2004 I originally bought this book because I was drawn to its title—I happened to be thinking about some questions concerning what ethics is, and “On Possible Life” seemed able to express my own view of ethics, which instantly brightened my eyes. But after reading it, I found that although Zhao Tingyang’s book is indeed a monograph on ethics, his understanding of “possible life” is very different from what I had imagined. Zhao Tingyang’s book is still quite interesting. I saw that Ji Xianlin and Li Zehou gave it rather high praise, but after…
