Today I again sent out emails inviting the members of the “Science and Outlook on Life” group, but the result was still that almost no one came. Aside from Xiaozhou, there was one more group member, Mist, who showed up to lend support; quite a few old friends of the salon did come, though.

I had a cold, so today I was in a rather listless state throughout. Fortunately, Xiaozhou and jr saved the day, so the salon did not end up with nothing to say at all.

At first in the afternoon there were only four of us: me, B, M, and Xiaozhou. Seeing that no one was likely to arrive, we first asked Xiaozhou to do a quick impromptu talk and give us a rough account of the debate over science and outlook on life. Later, when jr arrived, he gave us a brief introduction to Husserl’s phenomenology. Although it was somewhat dizzying to listen to, and the key issues had not yet been fully developed—he only gave the most sketchy account of essential intuition and the suspension of judgment—it was probably still quite good. Next week, it is said that classmate B will also give a very short report (not Weber for the time being…), so please look forward to it~

Four copies of Science and Outlook on Life were given away, but three of them went to people who were not members of the group. Over the next few weeks, even if the group members still do not come, if we have the chance we should still talk about the issues in Science and Outlook on Life.
