My Book-Writing Plan

My Book-Writing Plan
Yesterday, at a dinner gathering, we happened to mention publishing books. I heard that in some places one book counts for the equivalent of three papers; in others it counts for nothing at all. But in any case, it can at least be regarded as one kind of achievement. For me, perhaps writing three books would be easier than publishing ten papers, so if writing books could also earn me some credit, that would be a good thing. Of course, I am indeed willing to write books, and not only for the sake of credit. Although, in my view, philosophical texts in the pre-network era may have been mainly in…

I’m feeling very stifled. I need to let it out. Or perhaps I should just bury my head and write my doctoral dissertation.

Brazenly Shameless
That’s right, they’ve come again to meddle in our internal affairs and put on a political performance. But how exactly is a person able to do that? If we hadn’t imposed so much “internal affairs” on a mere private citizen, how could he interfere? If we weren’t trying to ban him and block him, how could he possibly stage a show? And what exactly do you want him to apologize for? “Sorry, I punctured your fig leaf”?

On “Gongqingyuan”

On “Gongqingyuan”
《共青苑》 is putting out a special issue for its 20th anniversary, and this piece is specially written for it. When I was a freshman, Brother Wang Xin was the editor-in-chief of issue 39 of 《共青苑》, and I took part in doing some of the layout. When the handoff came to issue 40, it seemed that no suitable successor could be found for the moment, so I volunteered to become editor-in-chief. Apart from having some interest in layout work — now that I think about it, I already had a bit of a tech-nerd bent back then — I was also very happy to edit a magazine like this. Of course,…

[Weibo] Earth Hour

[Weibo] Earth Hour
I think the significance of “Earth Hour” lies not at all in whether the event itself can actually save energy or electricity. It is a ritual of awe and reverence toward nature. To question whether a “ritual” has any practical use is meaningless.

Where Is the Journal Conservative? — A Brief Note on Submitting a Manuscript

Where Is the Journal Conservative? — A Brief Note on Submitting a Manuscript
A few days ago, from the end of February into the beginning of March, I fired off 12 articles to 9 core journals in one go, including a few book reviews and some papers written during my undergraduate years. At first I submitted a few newer, more important papers, but I didn’t bother to revise the format properly. Later I gradually sent out some older papers; those I did properly reformat, though I didn’t make many textual revisions. In that sense, my sincerity in submitting was still not quite sufficient, after all, at heart I remain rather reluctant about the whole business of submitting articles. But if I want to…

Exchange First, Scholarship Second—A Summary of the Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science
The 2nd Beijing Graduate Student Academic Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science was finally wrapped up last weekend~ After the forum, I caught up on sleep + spent two days tinkering with the blog as a change of pace, and only now have I begun to write the summary.I was the main person in charge of organizing this forum, and my chief work was contacting students from various schools, calling for paper submissions, and moderating the review process, and so on. At the beginning, everyone’s enthusiasm was not high; it was not until the last moment that submissions started flooding in, which in the final half-month almost drove…

Introduction to the History, Philosophy, and Science Conference Handbook
This forum received strong support from students and teachers at various colleges and universities in the Beijing area, and the students took part with great enthusiasm. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to express our gratitude to all the students and teachers who participated in our forum in one way or another! Because of everyone’s enthusiastic support, we ultimately received as many as 80 submissions. But in the end only a little over twenty could be presented at the conference, and the remaining articles could not be printed in full either (only abstracts would be included). If we have disappointed the enthusiasm of the students who submitted…

Ye Men Gathering — Archived Old Essays
Today I went with Teacher Wu to attend Master Ye’s gathering. We went to a French restaurant in Sanlitun for a French meal; the portions were a bit small, but the steak was genuinely delicious. We sat at a Western-style long table, and there wasn’t much conversation during the meal. Besides the Wu school and Teacher Ye, I didn’t know anyone else either; I only introduced myself briefly together with Senior Brother Shengli and Senior Brother Han, the three of us third-generation disciples, to Teacher Ye while packing up, and I didn’t even give my name. I don’t know whether Teacher Ye still remembers me. Perhaps Teacher Ye still will…

Beijing Region Graduate Student Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science Continues to Solicit Submissions~~
The earlier published Call for Papers for the 2nd Beijing Graduate Student Academic Forum on History of Science, Technology, and Philosophy has already been revised in some respects. The revised portions are as follows: The forum will be held all day on Saturday, November 19, 2011, at the Sunshine Hall of Peking University’s Yingjie Exchange Center. In view of the fact that the chief aim of our forum is to strengthen mutual understanding among students from different specialties and directions within the field of history of science, technology, and philosophy, the conference will not have parallel sessions, but themes will be set at different time slots. This forum will award…
