    Phenomenology Notes 3

    Today I only read two sections, about the distinction between what is called the natural attitude and the phenomenological attitude. Simply put, the natural attitude is the non-reflective attitude of everyday life, whereas the phenomenological attitude is the reflective philosophical attitude. To distinguish these two attitudes is not to set them against each other, as if one were the natural attitude of ordinary people and the other the phenomenological attitude of philosophers. In fact, the phenomenological attitude is a kind of transcending of the natural attitude, not a rebellion or a rupture. After all, the natural attitude is the basic condition of human life; reflection can only be discussed on…

    Notes from Today’s Xindao Salon, 09-11-21 [The Next Session May Be Paused Once]

    Today’s salon was quite lively after a long time. Besides dr, three web friends also came, and the long-absent xxj classmate made a splendid passing appearance~ Besides the eat-melon king (Institute for History of Natural Sciences, CAS) classmate, today’s two new friends were respectively from the computer science department of Forestry University and the School of Philosophy at Renmin University. Welcome, welcome—clap clap clap~ Besides chatting idly, as originally planned, I talked a bit about McLuhan; the effect is unknown… We also brought up the question of the meaning of philosophical thinking, and I still use games as a metaphor: for example, you have a box in your hands, and…

    Media · Sensation · Space-Time — A Preliminary Inquiry into McLuhan’s Media Ontology

    Although I’m said to write articles very quickly, that quickness has conditions: that is to say, only after I’ve dawdled and dawdled and dawdled until the very last moment can I possibly squeeze out a paper at lightning speed…… This time I’ve finally squeezed it out again at the last possible moment; as for how effective it is…… well…… I don’t care anymore…… entering dead-pig-doesn’t-fear-boiling-water mode…… Media•Sensation•Space-Time ——A Preliminary Inquiry into McLuhan’s Media Ontology Abstract: The basic position or method of McLuhan’s media theory can appropriately be called “media ontology.” In McLuhan’s view, media are not neutral channels for the transmission of information between subjects, or between subject and object;…

    The Globalization of Media Culture

    Abstract: In this article, the author attempts to argue that in the contemporary world, economy, politics, and culture alike have all become inseparable from (mass) media—that discussions of globalization cannot possibly proceed in depth while ignoring media technology; furthermore, the process of globalization and the expansion of media culture can almost be regarded as one and the same thing. The author holds that the significance of media culture lies in media itself as a kind of culture, rather than in the information that media disseminates. In the main text, the author lists eleven constituent elements or manifestations of culture: modes of communication and exchange; material entities/products; political/social order; entertainment; values;…
