[U.S.] Erich Fromm: The Art of Loving——☆
[U.S.]Erich Fromm: The Art of Loving, translated by Li Jianming , Shanghai Translation Publishing House2008, April,15 yuan—☆ Because The Art of Loving is easy to find online in electronic form, which saves me quite a bit of typing work, I therefore include more block quotations. The passages I would have selected if I had typed them myself are marked with underlining; the especially important parts are marked in bold; and my comments, as always, are set in Kai type. Preface, page1 This book will surely disappoint every reader who expects to derive from it the secret of mastering the art of loving. Quite the contrary, this book wants to…

Only when one can love the whole world and all people can one truly love a single person.

Only when one can love the whole world and all people can one truly love a single person.
“If I truly love one person, then I also love other people; I will love the world and love life. If I can say to one person, ‘I love you,’ then I should also be able to say, ‘In you I love all people, the world, and myself.’” — Fromm That passage above really sounds as if I had said it myself.

“Love” as the Ultimate Meaning
What is the meaning of asking about the meaning of a thing? Broadly speaking, it is asking why one does this thing.

At the same time, meaning can be further questioned. For example, if I say eating is for the sake of increasing nutrition, then one can ask again: what is the meaning of increasing nutrition? Continuing to ask about the meaning of increasing nutrition, one might answer that it is for the sake…

Why Should We Have “Cultural Self-Awareness”?

Why Should We Have “Cultural Self-Awareness”?
The course on globalization has finally reached ZW’s report; it looks as though next week it will be my turn…… Today’s topic feels as though it can be linked both to my last talk on “preserving commonality while seeking difference” and to the issue of media culture that I will be discussing next time. One of the most basic questions that ZW did not develop is: why cultural self-consciousness? Why should we identify with our own culture? In the eyes of people like us, “stubbornly attached to the old,” what we urgently need is to revive a cultural identity that is steadily fading. But to those fashionable new-century new human…
