[Unpinned][Pinned 2] An Introduction to Gu Chi, Contact Information, and Comments and Questions
Suixuan’s miserably sparse comments and messages have always left me rather depressed. But when I look at those more popular academic blogs, most of the comments there are just “Good post,” “Respect,” “Adore,” “Saved,” and so on, or else a couple of contemptuous insults. Readers like me who can respectfully offer criticism are still very rare. Thinking of it that way, the quiet on Suixuan is actually a good thing. Many friends would rather communicate with me privately than leave even a few words on the blog, and of course I can understand that—as I, too, would rather argue online than ask questions in class. Everyone has his or her…

How I Came to Approach Philosophy of Science (A Whig History)

How I Came to Approach Philosophy of Science (A Whig History)
I didn’t write it well… not recommended reading.. Life is full of possibilities. In the course of my growing up, had it not been for those chance encounters and coincidences, I’m afraid I would not have set out on the road I’m on now—perhaps I would have gone into economics, or become a scientist; most likely, perhaps, I would have become some kind of amateur science nerd or armchair philosopher. But in the end I still ended up here: the philosophy of technology at Peking University. It was accidental, and yet somehow it also feels as though it came naturally, the most natural outcome of all. Looking back over my…

Re-reading “Big Questions—A Brief Introduction to Philosophy”

Re-reading “Big Questions—A Brief Introduction to Philosophy”
The second edition of *Big Questions* has been on the market for some time. During the Olympics, on a whim, I read it all over again from start to finish, and was filled with a thousand thoughts and feelings. The first Chinese edition of *Big Questions* came out in 2004. That was when I had just entered university, just begun taking philosophy courses, and was fortunate enough to encounter this book. I bought the book roughly in the second week of classes, the exact date being around September 20, 2004. Why do I remember it so precisely? Because in the forum for the “Introduction to Philosophy” course at the time,…

Choosing Peking University, Taking on Freedom
The original writing plan for “Yanyuan—The Four Schools” had stalled for a long time because I shut myself away and hid from the blog. Now that graduation is practically upon me, it’s time to restart this task. Just then the student union was organizing a “My Yanyuan Memories — A Commencement Essay Collection for Peking University’s Class of 2008 Excellent Graduates,” asking each department to nominate writers. Although I do not like taking part in essay contests, especially those initiated by official bodies, I was going to write something anyway. So I might as well take part. There was also a call for submissions from 《Communist Youth Garden》, and perhaps…

Some of the Text I Posted on KKBBS During My Seclusion
I'll just paste the links directly. Among them, I think the discussion about the Chen Jiaying lecture at the very end is still worth a look; the others are just recorded here for the record~ Peking opera education should not be forcefully piloted and promoted in primary and secondary schools What resources can a “fourth concubine” get? More on the question of opening up the forum ZZ argues that the United States is not suited to implementing democracy Three suggestions for the moderators KeKe Forum Lecture 49: The Transformation of Science and the Reconstruction of Society (February 29) Peking University Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology,…

Lecture 45 of the Keke Forum: A Casual Discussion of Transnational Research in the History of Science (December 14)
Peking University Forum on the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Lecture 45 Time: Friday, December 14, 2007, 3:00–5:00 p.m. Venue: Academic Lecture Hall, Ke-She Center, Chengze Garden Speaker: Wang Zuoyue, Associate Professor, Department of History, California Institute of Technology Topic: A Casual Discussion of Transnational Studies in the History of Science Professor Wang’s talk was excellent, but it was not able to turn into the “roundtable discussion” he had hoped for, because everyone knew too little about “transnational history of science”; today we were mainly listening to Professor Wang’s introduction. Remarkably, today’s forum did not even have a “commentator.” Only Professor Wu raised a question that was said…

<An Interpretation of the Peking University Spirit> — Lecture Six in the School History and School Spirit Series, “Youthful Peking University, the Splendid Years of Yanyuan”
An Interpretation of the “Spirit of Peking University” — Lecture Six in the “Youthful Peking University, Youthful Yanyuan” Series on the History and Present Condition of the University Speaker: Wu Guosheng Lecture time: Wednesday, November 28, 2007, 7:00–9:00 p.m. Lecture venue: Lijiao 109 I went an hour early to grab a seat, only to discover that there were in fact very few people attending, so there was absolutely no need to reserve one. Compared with Mr. Wu’s lecture of the same title three years ago, the audience this time was pathetically sparse. Mr. Wu said this might have something to do with the decline in people’s attention to “spirit” as…

Notes from Zhongguancun (1)
Zhongguancun is a wondrous place: Peking University is here, Wan Sheng is here, and so are Yecao, Boyatang, the Third Wave, and Fengrushong.
