Notes from Today’s New Island Salon 09-12-12
Today B brought a little report, first talking about the theory of “subculture,” then briefly mentioning Weber, and we played a few rounds of Three Kingdoms Kill. Although a small turnout is normal, the recent salons do seem to be slipping into something of a lull. With the end of the term looming, let’s see whether this semester can manage one last dying burst of brilliance…… There are still a little over five hundred yuan left on the New Island membership card; what should we do after it’s used up?

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…

Notes from Today’s Xindao Salon, 09-10-10 [Part 1 of the Special Topic on “Science and the View of Life”]
One of the themes in Science and View of Life Today’s plan was to kick off the activities of the “Science and View of Life” discussion group. Yesterday I sent a mass email to the students who had signed up with me for the group, saying that they were welcome to drop by my salon today for an informal chat. Although I had not set my expectations very high, I had still hoped that at least two or three of the twelve would come, so that there would be something to discuss. The result was regrettable: only Xiao Zhou showed up. Although Xiao Zhou was a newcomer, visiting the salon…

Notes from Today’s Xindao Salon, 09-08-29
Today was the first trial reopening of the salon after the summer break, and two new friends came by. Next week’s salon time is still undecided. As for the positioning of ethics and philosophy: what is ethics studying? Good and evil (right and wrong)? Ends? Human relations? The manner and aim of philosophy? Conceptual analysis? Taxonomy? The mode of expression of philosophy? What is environmental ethics? Philosophy of technology, art, and ideas… Overall, I didn’t say much; I mainly played the role of the one asking questions. The girls who were present spoke very little—perhaps they could add some comments on the blog? Anyway, I won’t record too…

Today’s Xindao Salon Notes, 09-07-11
Next week (July18) the Suixuan Salon will be suspended, and the week after next (25) will probably also be suspended. After I go back to Shanghai to visit my family, I should still be spending my Saturdays at Xin Dao in August. As for next semester, broadly speaking, the open salon at Xin Dao will probably continue every Saturday; at the very least, let me use up my recharged membership card before making any plans, though at the same time I will also be exploring new forms. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of my zodiac year has passed. My so-called “In my zodiac year, the Demon King…
