Travel Notes on the Guangzhou Conference

Travel Notes on the Guangzhou Conference
I caught a cold in Guangzhou, and after coming back I rested for several days, so the task of writing the travelogue was delayed by several days as well; I only started writing on December 8… First, a little sigh: time flies. In a daze, the annual phenomenology and philosophy of technology conference has already been held six times, and this is also the fourth session I have attended. I attended the Nanning conference as a master’s student, and in the blink of an eye I’m almost done with my PhD. As for this “I love my teacher” conference-bashing, this is already the third installment. The previous two travelogues were…

The Flush Toilet: City, Civilization, Modernity

The Flush Toilet: City, Civilization, Modernity
Yesterday, Professor Jiang Jinsong came to Chengze Garden to give a talk titled “Observations and Reflections on the Flush Toilet,” and Professor Tian Song offered comments. Professor Jiang did not say very much, and Professor Tian’s comments were also rather hurried, but the discussion was still very lively. Indeed, the flush toilet can be counted as one of the greatest achievements of modern civilization. It is not only a device that makes “going to the bathroom” more convenient, but also a hub that helped assemble the whole modern urban way of life and the entire urban system. Professor Wu commented that Professor Jiang’s presentation should be divided into the issue…

On “Feyerabend Quotations”
Xinzhai Lao Jiang Quotations from Feyerabend I’m a fanatical admirer of Feyerabend, so from now on I’ll post some of the old gentleman’s quotations whenever I have nothing better to do: A free society is one in which all traditions have equal rights and equal opportunities to enter the centers of power (this differs from the usual definition: that everyone has equal rights to enter the positions defined by one special tradition—namely, the tradition of Western science and rationalism). A tradition acquires these rights not because it is important to outsiders, but because it is meaningful in the lives of those who participate in that tradition. Science in a Free…

http://hps.phil.pku.edu.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=335 http://hps.phil.pku.edu.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=336 XinZhaiLaoJiang Feyerabend Quotations 3 “I did not say that epistemology should become anarchist, or that philosophy of science should become anarchist. I said that these two disciplines should accept anarchism as a medicine. Epistemology is sick now and must be treated, and the medicine is anarchism. Medicine is not something people have to take all the time. People take medicine only during a certain period, and then stop.” Science in a Free Society: P139-140 [楼主] | Posted: 2008-01-24 01:01 GuChen This kind of “medicine” is too fierce and stimulating; it is not in keeping with the Chinese medicine way of nourishing life and regulating and supplementing the body~~…

On Jiang Jinsong’s Lecture 39 of the Science Forum, “The Experimental Scientific Tradition as the Root of Environmental Problems”

History of Science & Scholarship2007.10.20
On Jiang Jinsong’s Lecture 39 of the Science Forum, “The Experimental Scientific Tradition as the Root of Environmental Problems”
Although Teacher Wu didn’t come, this time the Keke Forum had far more listeners than usual. Many familiar senior students also went, and the atmosphere of discussion was unprecedentedly lively (a group from Peking University bullying one person from Tsinghua), which really showed Peking University’s distinctive style~~ In real life I’m usually rather timid; with so many teachers and senior students raising such good questions, I simply didn’t ask anything, especially since the teachers and senior students had already brought up everything that should have been said. But online I can be a bit more unrestrained, and I can still offer a few thoughts. I’ve already posted my comments on…

On a Discussion on Teachers’ Blogs: the Criterion of Truth, Pluralism, and Other Matters
On the Discussion on the Teachers’ Blogs: Truth Standards, Pluralism, and Others Gu Ya 发表于 2007-07-07 14:02:46 Preface 2007-06-08 16:59:55 Since I ultimately stopped responding, let me add this here: pluralism is related to the metaphor of dumplings and noodles. When I say that anti-scientism is not anti-science, I do not merely mean that I support some other kind of science; rather, I mean that even with the science that exists now, I do not oppose it. On the contrary, mathematization is not something loathsome: mathematics is very beautiful, marvelous, and a mathematical world is awe-inspiring as well. What we oppose is only the elevation of one particular worldview—no matter…

In the discussion on the teachers’ blogs: On “the freedom to engage in pseudoscience”
http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/485ea8790100063v On “the freedom to do pseudoscience” 2006-12-07 07:42:42 Sima Nan said on TOM: “The real intention behind these people’s demand to delete those three characters from the Science Popularization Law is actually that they want to strive for the freedom to falsify things, the freedom to do pseudoscience.” (December 6, 2006, TOM Technology) Sima Nan’s wording is “the freedom to do pseudoscience”; we can change it a bit and make it “the freedom to do pseudoscience” for discussion, because we know that any freedom is also subject to constraints, and there is no freedom of freedom. What Sima Nan said touches on a very crucial question: do the masses…
