At Last, All the Various Delays Have Been Settled
All Kinds of Procras——————tination Have Finally Been Resolved This summer, all sorts of things that should have been finished long ago, or should have been started long ago, kept getting delayed… delayed… First is my magnificent thesis. In the plan, by this moment it should have reached the final-draft stage, but the reality is that the reading project has not even systematically begun yet… I can only buckle down in the next week or two! (Of course… even during the period of idleness, there was not absolutely no progress; at least I did think about some questions…) This matter was delayed for about a month and a half. Second is…

[France] Brigitte Labbé, Michel Puech: “A Philosophy Primer for Children”
[French] Brigitte Labbé, Michel Puech: *A Philosophical Introduction for Children*, translated by Pan Lin, Wang Chuanya, et al., Guangxi Normal University Press, June 2005, 125.00 yuan — ☆ At last I’ve found a set of philosophy gift books! (I’ve only flipped through half a volume, so I won’t say much for now; in any case, it’s pretty good.) This series claims to be written for children and teenagers aged eight and up. In my view, parents are the more suitable readers. The best way to initiate children into philosophy, in any case, should be direct conversation.

“A Peking University Person”

Life & Notes2007.07.16
“A Peking University Person”
Peking University’s school emblem was designed by Mr. Lu Xun. It consists of two side-profile human figures and one front-facing standing human figure, forming the characters “北大” (PKU). There are different explanations of its specific meaning. According to legend, in Lu Xun’s own view, the human figure at the bottom represents the teachers and staff, while the two human figures above refer to the students, roughly implying that the teachers and staff serve the students. Of course, this meaning cannot possibly be accepted by today’s university senior administrators, who are turning universities into duck farms—treating teachers as hired labor and students as ducks—but even according to Peking University’s current official…

[Repost] Peking University’s Graduate Admissions Spark Controversy as More Than Half Are Recommended-Exemption Students
http://edu.qq.com/a/20070709/000001.htm Yesterday, Peking University announced its 2008 graduate admissions plan. Of all the places available, the number of students admitted as recommendation-exempt candidates (guaranteed admission) accounts for 50% to 80% of the plan, which is to say that more than half of Peking University’s graduate admissions slots are given to guaranteed-admission students. This policy has made many students from ordinary universities who want to apply to Peking University’s graduate programs feel “very unfair.” Peking University, however, says that this is done in accordance with the advisors’ opinions, with the hope of admitting students of a higher level. – Policy recap Only graduating students from national key universities are eligible for…

[Repost] Ministry of Education: In principle, university students are not allowed to rent housing off campus
http://edu.qq.com/a/20070707/000002.htm The Ministry of Education recently issued a notice requiring that freshmen entering university in 2007 and thereafter be guaranteed accommodation arranged by class. In principle, students are not permitted to rent housing off campus on their own. According to reports, some universities in China do not arrange students to live in dormitories and apartments by class cohort. There are also some universities that assign housing according to students’ financial circumstances. For this reason, the notice requires universities in all regions to conscientiously implement the requirement of arranging housing by class, and to make full use of the period when graduates leave campus and freshmen arrive to do a proper…

What Is So Good About a Philosophy Department? — Written for Parents

What Is So Good About a Philosophy Department? — Written for Parents
Poor parents across the world all feel this way: if their children actually choose to study philosophy, it is rather like their children saying they want to join the underworld, or saying they want to marry an eighty-two-year-old man. How many parents would not be deeply worried by that? Such anxiety is only natural. A single casual choice can alter the whole second half of one’s life; how much more so matters as major as the college entrance examination and choosing a major? The child has not yet seen the world, so how could parents not keep a close eye on things? Indeed, many people are simply not suited to…

Group research may be worth considering.
This time my academic-year paper was rated excellent. That was no surprise, really; after all, among ten people I ought to be able to squeeze in somehow. As expected, Teacher lsl places considerable emphasis on undergraduate research. What he said hit the nail on the head: if problems only surface when it comes to the graduation thesis, then the teachers really have no choice but to “swallow bitter huanglian and stay silent,” because in general no one has the heart to stop a student from graduating just because of the final paper. This is true not only of undergraduates, but of master’s students as well, just as Teacher Liu put…
