The Moral Law Above My Head and the Starry Sky in My Heart

The Moral Law Above My Head and the Starry Sky in My Heart
This semester I’m preparing to start gnawing on Kant’s third Critique. Every time I come to the café I bring that brick with me, but unfortunately I still haven’t yet felt the impulse to open it up, so… let’s talk about it later… In any case, in recent days Kant’s ghost seems to have been hovering around me all the time, poking me from time to time, as if complaining about how I’ve been neglecting him… When I was a sophomore, I wrote “The Same Starry Sky” to discuss Kant’s science and religion, marking the moment when I was truly lured through the door of philosophy; When I was a…

“United in Hatred Against the Enemy” and “Hating Evil as Though It Were an Enemy”: I Can’t Do That.

“United in Hatred Against the Enemy” and “Hating Evil as Though It Were an Enemy”: I Can’t Do That.
Friends who have long followed Suixuan will probably already have noticed that Unic, who used to be a regular here and once declared how much she agreed with my views and how much she supported my blog, suddenly became so agitated after I came back from my period of seclusion that she eventually left Suixuan. Some people may wonder: what on earth happened? In fact I was quite astonished myself; I really had underestimated a girl’s emotional reactions. But there was nothing to be done about it. Gentleness and deference may put others at ease, but they cannot help them reach a decision. And since she was facing the college…

The 500th blog post~!
A week from now, it will be exactly two years since I opened this blog. Two years, 500 blog posts—quite a brilliant achievement, I’d say? With the “implementation” of “Suixuan,” my blog ought to move into a new stage. I do not ask for “getting better and better”; I don’t like that phrase. I only hope that I can keep alive the enthusiasm I now have for reading, writing, and thinking, keep alive that carefree and spontaneous attitude, and keep on with my starry-sky philosophy. When the second anniversary comes, I’ll put out a selected collection here, and settle accounts with these several hundred posts and more than a…

Arrogant Humility?

Arrogant Humility?
My philosophy is called starry-sky philosophy; some people say it is a philosophy of the starry sky and rainwater. In fact, the meaning of rainwater is already included in the starry sky. The starry sky contains three layers of meaning: first, it means what I said in my “about me” note, namely gratitude and tolerance; second, it stands for praise and yearning for the infinitely profound cosmos; third, it stands for reverence and humility before the majesty and mystery of nature. The latter two are basically also what Kant meant. On all kinds of occasions, I am always fond of emphasizing the importance of humility. Whether facing nature, facing the…

The Starry Sky in My Heart
The starry sky is in the heart. Hehe. My whole philosophical thinking, more or less, is under what might be called a philosophy of the starry sky. Mieko 2005-10-11 13:42:18 [reply] Just a random note, unrelated to philosophy of the starry sky and a bit off-topic. Countless brilliant starlights sting the night. veronique 2006-04-27 22:22:39 http://spaces.msn.com/veronique945/ [reply] What is the relation between the stars and the night? A deep one. QQ：176545780 Gu Chu: The stars and the night are one whole, just like the white of the eye and the pupil; something purely white or purely black cannot be called an eye. Only when black is dotted in white does…
