A Supplement to “Media History as Transcendental Philosophy”: The Relation Between Ontology and Epistemology; Nature Is Naturally the Boundary of Technology

A Supplement to “Media History as Transcendental Philosophy”: The Relation Between Ontology and Epistemology; Nature Is Naturally the Boundary of Technology
Today’s discussion seminar covered that earlier article, and the result seemed pretty good. Of course, Wu’s comments and those of the students pointed out that while my article reads smoothly overall, a close look reveals many gaps in the logic, especially the final section, which seems overly hurried. This is certainly something that can be improved in part—particularly, the last section ought to have been written in more detail. At the time I probably felt that I was almost done, breathed a sigh of relief, and then slackened off, lacking patience in handling the most crucial part of this section. But in a certain sense logical gaps are impossible to…

A Philosophy of Cinema, Not a Philosophy About Cinema—Reading Technics and Time 3: The Problem of Cinema’s Time and the Pain of Existence

A Philosophy of Cinema, Not a Philosophy About Cinema—Reading Technics and Time 3: The Problem of Cinema’s Time and the Pain of Existence
From robber to Pompidou director, the legendary Bernard Stiegler is also the hottest figure in French philosophy today after Derrida. All three volumes of his magnum opus Technics and Time have already been introduced into China by Yilin Press. Although this third volume was written after the first two, it can also be read independently; the author himself notes that, in a certain sense, this volume can serve as the “best introduction” to the first two. Compared with the subtitles of the first two volumes — The Fault of Epimetheus and Disorientation — the subtitle of the newly published third volume, The Time of Cinema and the Problem of the…

Knowledge Is Connection

Knowledge Is Connection
Earlier I spoke of “phenomenological education,” which also made me recall the as-yet-unwritten essay I mentioned last year, “Knowledge Is Linkage.” Why is it that I, someone just about to begin a PhD dissertation on “media ontology,” “ have suddenly, and quite off the beaten track, decided to take up “education”? Have I changed direction? Of course not. My turn toward educational questions is on the one hand driven by my interest in Neil Postman (who is in essence an educational theorist), and on the other hand it is also a question I have long cared about. In fact, the question of education involves the whole range of philosophy, from…

On Choosing an English Translation of “The Critique of Pure Reason”

Philosophy & Thought2012.05.20
On Choosing an English Translation of “The Critique of Pure Reason”
On the Choice of Translations of the Critique of Pure Reason (with two reports reposted at the same time) As for the version of the Critique of Pure Reason that the spontaneous reading group from Wu Men is using, I personally recommend the Li Qiuling translation. Last year, a revised annotated edition came out, and it should be the best among the Chinese translations. Of course, another option is the Deng Xiaomang translation, and there seem to be many arguments about which is better, the Li translation or the Deng translation. Both versions proclaim fidelity to the original text, but Li’s fidelity lies mainly in diction, whereas Deng’s lies mainly…

Notes on “Being and Time” II: “Being and Media”?

Philosophy & Thought2012.03.01
Notes on “Being and Time” II: “Being and Media”?
The portion I read today is, in my view, not especially important; Heidegger lays out the framework of “the book” (including the unfinished second part). To me, this framework is open to question. What I admire most is the first half of *Being and Time*; but once “temporality” is unveiled and the whole thing is repeated on the basis of temporality, I can no longer keep up with Heidegger’s train of thought. Still, broadly speaking, my line of thought remains corresponding to Heidegger’s—only, starting from “time,” perhaps more revisions are needed. Last week I said that what Heidegger calls “that which is asked about” (问之所及), “that which is questioned” (问之所问),…

Media Realism—Scientific Realism from the Perspective of Media Ontology

Media Realism—Scientific Realism from the Perspective of Media Ontology
I’m very sorry that, in the end, I still couldn’t finish writing it. The latter half of the references simply wouldn’t integrate at all, so I’ll still mainly be talking off the cuff… But I really don’t want to get tied down any further by this paper, so tomorrow I’ll just give it as a casual discussion, and then in a few weeks I’ll write a proper paper that really stands on firm ground and present that instead. Media Realism—A View of Scientific Realism from Media Ontology “Realism” is an ancient and complex philosophical theme, tangled up with concepts such as truth and being, and involving fields such as metaphysics,…

A Chat Record on Determinism and Free Will

A Chat Record on Determinism and Free Will
Last night I had a QQ chat with an online friend. Although there was nothing especially profound in it, it may count as a basic expression of my approach to the question of free will and determinism. This friend had originally fallen into anguish over such questions as “Does the world around us exist?”, “Do human beings have free will?”, and “Is causality something objectively existent?”, after reading The Big Questions, and came to me for help. I replied with an email at the time, though perhaps I did not quite hit the point; I was only trying to indicate a general way of release. This time, through QQ, we…

Space and Geometry—Questions for Reflection and Suggestions for Discussion from Teacher Wang’s Lecture

Space and Geometry—Questions for Reflection and Suggestions for Discussion from Teacher Wang’s Lecture
http://hps.phil.pku.edu.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=1169 Although Professor Wang’s lecture this time was rather jumpy in content, the reading materials assigned this time are relatively readable. If you read the materials in advance, listening to Professor Wang’s lecture can serve to help the two illuminate each other. I hope everyone will be sure to read the relevant materials, and at the very least must read the second part of *Science and Hypothesis*. In tomorrow’s discussion class, the main speakers and the TAs should discuss more around the materials, and not wander too far afield. Broadly speaking, the issues involved in this lecture and the reading materials are these: 1. What is space? 2. What is…

A Travelogue of the Hailar Conference

A Travelogue of the Hailar Conference
The much-noticed Fourth National Conference on Phenomenology and Philosophy of Technology had already passed several days earlier. Teacher Wu asked me to write up the conference record, but I kept putting pen to paper very late. On the one hand I was being lazy; on the other hand, it was also hard to know where to begin. Faced with so many papers and trying to review them one by one, the job really made my head spin… Although I have written records of forums and talks before, the KeKe Forum, for example, was basically just one lecture: an hour of presentation, an hour of discussion, with a commentator in between…

Third Winter Vacation Essay: Will and Responsibility

Philosophy & Thought2010.02.01
Third Winter Vacation Essay: Will and Responsibility
Speaking of which, Kantian ethics contains a very rigid conception of duty—for example, the command “do not lie.” This injunction is an absolute duty: even if a murderer asks you where your beloved is, and you know that if you tell the truth and do not lie to mislead him your beloved will be killed, you still must not lie. Moral duty is that hard. For, in any case, murder is the murderer’s fault, whereas lying is your fault; whether or not there is a murder, lying is always wrong. If your beloved happens to appear at the very place you falsely claimed she was, then would her being killed…
