This article is very different from other philosophy articles: it really is a manifesto addressed to Chinese philosophers. On the whole, Western thought has been exceedingly intellectualistic and ...rationalistic, and in this article I outline some of the ways in which those deep one-sided tendencies need to be corrected or rebalanced. However, I also claim that the Chinese are in the best position to correct and rebalance philosophy as a discipline. Chinese thought has never gone to the extremes of Western rationalism, and there is every reason to think that as China gains in power and prestige throughout the world, Chinese philosophers and thinkers will be in a position to correct or reset Western philosophy by drawing on their own deepest historical traditions, traditions which have recognized the value of emotion and sane ordinary living much more than has been typical in the West. You Chinese should realize that you have much to offer the West and not be too modest with your self-image or reticent with your philosophical ambitions.
Every year over 200 million peasants flock to China's urban centers, providing a profusion of cheap labor that helps fuel the country's staggering economic growth. Award-winning journalist Michelle ...Dammon Loyalka follows the trials and triumphs of eight such migrants—including a vegetable vendor, an itinerant knife sharpener, a free-spirited recycler, and a cash-strapped mother—offering an inside look at the pain, self-sacrifice, and uncertainty underlying China's dramatic national transformation. At the heart of the book lies each person's ability to "eat bitterness"—a term that roughly means to endure hardships, overcome difficulties, and forge ahead. These stories illustrate why China continues to advance, even as the rest of the world remains embroiled in financial turmoil. At the same time, Eating Bitterness demonstrates how dealing with the issues facing this class of people constitutes China's most pressing domestic challenge.
This essay explores the history of studies in analytical philosophy in China since the beginning of the last century, by dividing into three phases. It shows that, in these phases, analytic ...philosophy was always at a disadvantage in confronting serious challenges coming from both Chinese traditional philosophy and modern philosophical trends. The authors argue that Chinese philosophers have both done preliminary studies and offered their own analyses of various problems as well as some new applications of analytic philosophy especially in the latest period. Meanwhile, Chinese traditional philosophy was always trying to adjust its cultural mentality in the struggle with analytic philosophy, and accommodated in its own way the rationalistic spirit and scientific method represented in analytic philosophy.
본문은 제목을 "한국 후 삼국시대 이전의 '제자학'에 관한 초보적 탐구"라 정하고 후 삼국시대 이전 금석문 '제자학'의 개황, 후 삼국시대 이전 금석문에 보이는 '제자학' 문자의 흔적, 후 삼국시대 이전 금석문에 보이는 '제자학' 흔적의 가치의의 등 문제를 탐구 토론한다. 해당 금석문에 보이는 '제자학' 문자가 관련된 시기는 일찍이 700년(신라 효소왕 ...9년 즉 당나라 측천무후 성력 3년에 해당)에 시작되어 줄곧 이어져 890년(신라 진성여왕 4년 즉 당나라 소종 대순 2년)에 이르기까지이다. 그런데 해당 금석문은 단지 '비', '기' 2종류 문체에 한정되며 그 가운데 관련 '제자학' 문자를 인술 원용한 것으로 『논어』, 『맹자』, 『노자』, 『열자』, 『장자』, 『관자』, 『순자』, 『한비자』, 『윤문자』, 『여씨춘추』, 『회남자』 등 서적이 있다. 이러한 상황은 바로 후 삼국, 고려, 조선시대와 서로 비교하면 그 대비되는 점이 분명하고 차이가 상당하다. 이는 곧 관련 금석문 '제자학'의 가치의의 문제로 귀결할 수 있는데 예를 들면 상대적으로 '제자학' 의 관련 범위가 가장 넓음, '제자학'의 원용빈도가 가장 높음, '제자학'의 발전 상황이 가장 볼만함, 금석문 '제자학' 문자의 작가 및 그 신분, '제자학' 문자를 인용하여 스님을 묘사하고 서술하거나 불상과 범종을 기술함 등 5가지 점이다. 이처럼 한국 후삼국시대 이전의 금석문 '제자학'은 일정한 가치의의를 지녀 이를 바탕으로 한국 '제자학'의 기초를 충분히 다질 수 있고, 이로 관련 연구에 종사할 수 있는 토대와 기회를 만들어낼 수 있는 까닭에 앞으로 새로운 평가를 거친 발전의 전기를 맞을 수 있을 것이라 생각한다.
This paper is a first step inquiry into the Early Chinese Philosophers in pre Three Kingdoms of Ancient Korea.: more detailed inquiry themes are trace marks appeared at the Inscriptions on Metal and Stone in the post Three Kingdoms of Ancient Korea and its value etc. Early Chinese philosophers equivalent to trace marks appeared at the Inscriptions on Metal and Stone began to appeared at the age of 700(that age was equivalent to King Hyo-So in the Kingdom of Shin-Ra. at same time Tang, Sheng-Li 3 in Ancient China), continued to at the time of 890(equivalent to Queen Jin-Sheng of Shin-Ra, at same time Tang, Shao-Zong 2 in Ancient China). However those Inscriptions on Metal and Stone restricted to two kinds of literary style: tombstone( 碑) and Descriptions(記), among those quoted the letter of Early Chinese Philosophers appeared at the classical canons: 『Analects of Confucius』(lun Yu 論語), 『Discourses of Mencius』(Meng Zi 孟子), 『Lao Zi』(老子), 『Lie Zi』(列子), 『The book of master Guan』(管子), 『Zhuang Zi』(莊子), 『Xun Zi』(荀子), 『Yin Wen Zi』(尹文子), 『Han Fei Zi』(韓非子), 『Lushichunqiu』(呂氏春秋). 『Hui Nan Zi』(淮南子) etc. On the stand point, Compared to the Three Kingdoms of Ancient Korea, Go-Ryoe(高麗) and Cho-Son(朝鮮) dynasty, We can fond out contrast point obviously, even considerably showed differences between them. that is related with consequences of value of Early Chinese Philosophers. Taken an examples of those values are five kinds of point as followed: relatively scope of Early Chinese Philosophers are most broad than any others, most highly quoted frequencies, worth seeing of development situation in the Early Chinese Philosophers, writer and one's social status on trace marks appeared at the Inscriptions on Metal and Stone in the Three Kingdoms of Ancient Korea using a letter of Early Chinese Philosophers described Buddhist monk or Buddhist image and temple bell. Like above, the Early Chinese Philosophers in trace marks appeared at the Inscriptions on Metal and Stone in the pre-Three Kingdoms of Ancient Korea has a fixed value, so enough to make a hard foundation on the Early Chinese Philosophers. and also can make an opportunity and basis for engage upon the related study. Therefore hereafter we can make a further development chances by way of new evaluation.
This article proposes a methodology to measure the dynamic and static complexities in real systems. Using the theory of discrete event systems, it is simulated the Dining Chinese Philosophers problem ...and then the complexity of the system is measured based on the simulated data. The obtained results relate to the static complexity based on the configuration of the system, without using a simulator. As for the dynamic complexity, it makes a connection to the time of the simulated system. The measurement of complexity is important for comparing two real systems that perform the same task and can be associated with risk factors and systems appreciation.
The Golden Shine Foundation was established in 2003 around Chinatown in Bangkok. Today, it is mainly funded through donations from the small and mediumsized Thai-Chinese business groups in Thailand, ...and local citizens. The Golden Shine Foundation provides an ethics education for visiting donors and members. As part of the ethics education, the donations have helped the foundation to set up a wide variety of great Chinese philosophers' mausoleums. Actually, their whole office (the first and second floors) is a very unique environment, and we can learn about ethics education in a very natural, emotional way. The Waiwatthananiwas is the Chinese charitable organization for seniors in Samutprakan. It was established by the local Chaozhou-Chinese bosses about 50 years ago and has 68 people living in the old people' s home. Today, it is funded through donations from the local Thai-Chinese business groups in Thailand. The mutual assistance relationship between the staff and seniors, and also the participation in the local community can be a starting point for Japanese nursing homes to reform. This paper considers the role of the small and medium-sized Japanese businesses in future Japanese local society, and also suggests that they should learn from the ethics educational activities of the Golden Shine Foundation and the Waiwatthananiwas.
Politics is important for society because it can lead to content and development. The article aims to investigate the development of political thought among people in general, as well as to find out ...what role politics plays in the life of modern society. The first sources for comprehending our research were the fundamental political thoughts of philosophers in China and the entire Ancient East. A peculiar role was played by the views of Confucius, which are set forth in the book Lun Yu (also known as "The Sayings Of Confucius") and the teachings of Mo Tzu, who put forward the idea of the contractual origin of the state and government. The prominent views and teachings of various historical philosophers and political figures up to the present day have also contributed to the creation of the article. Politics can be of various types, situations and structural factors, the study of which allows one to understand the essence, content and role of politics in public life. Therefore, it must be stated that politics is a complex, contradictory, yet a necessary and important phenomenon of the social world. Studying this issue is a long and complex cognitive process. Philosophers and experimenters of different generations and epochs enrich the treasury of knowledge about politics, discovering even more of its aspects, characteristics, references, and disagreements. In this way, they make holistic generalizations and statements that create a diverse picture of the political life of mankind.
This paper engages the Analects from multiple perspectives. The Deleuzean read reveals its function as a cogwheel in the feudal social machine serving the purpose of overcoding. The Flusserian read ...brings into relief a meta-program that works to perpetuate the feudal social order, and a functionalism that has been revived in the post-historical era. From an interological perspective, Confucian ritual formalizes and normalizes interality. In terms of rhetorical and performance studies, the Analects has the gentleman as its second persona, inculcates a role aesthetics, and models a sense of decorum. From a Daoist viewpoint, the Analects contains an autobiography that documents Confucius's personal development as a spiritual adventurer and his becoming-Daoist later in life. From a Chan perspective, Confucius was a virtuosic performer of upaya, and the Analects feels like a precursor of the mondo or question-and-answer books that flourished in the Chan community in later historical periods. Moreover, a Chan-minded heterodox hermeneutics regarding the Analects has taken shape over time. The paper ends by pointing to Ouyi's Chan-spirited reinterpretation of the Analects as an exciting project to take on. Peter Zhang. A Nomadic Encounter with the Analects of Confucius. China Media Research, 16(4):64-805 Keywords: Social cybernetics, meta-program, functionalism, interality, interpersonality, role aesthetics, heterodox hermeneutics
