Sun Zhouxing

The epidemic caused by 2019 novel coronavirus is raging all over the world. The cold death toll from the Internet every day makes people lament the fragility and impermanence of life. Man equipped with increasing technical skills is still helpless in front of the invisible mysterious virus, which needs to be reflected. This paper attempts to raise and discuss the following questions from the perspective of philosophy of Technology: in the face of the great plague of this century, has human beings made progress? Why can human beings only shrink back to the natural state every time a virus comes? In addition to technology, what else can modern human expect and trust today? Is technical optimism the only strategy? What has the epidemic changed? Is the epidemic a decelerator or an accelerator in the technological world?

Born of Trouble, Die of Pride: How to Understand Chinese Road and American Road in the Crisis of Global Anti-NCoV

Qin Shuo

The crisis of global anti-noval coronavirus is also a critical time of our thinking. The essence of the problem is how to understand the Chinese road and the American road. The United States was once a global leader with its ability of internal governance, the willingness to provide global public goods and the ability to lead international community to jointly respond to the crisis. Until now, its leadership has been continuously squandered, while the supremacy of the American model has become a kind of subconscious and political correctness. China’s development has a strong endogenous driving force. Chinese people who are full of creativity are the real protagonists in this open arena. China’s road shows the dynamic, floating and self-adjusting possibilities of institutional change. However, in the large family of human civilization and community of shared future, we still need to learn and face our own problems more frankly. The future of China and the United States is a contest of civilization and value. If China and the United States work together, the planet will be better.

Lao Chengwan

The main critical points in the development of western academic are: the beginning of Aristotle’s “Four Causes” theory, the transcendence and the end of Kant and Hegel’s metaphysics, the positivism and its partiality and inclination in modern West, and Max Weber’s “communication” and “correction” of logic first. In the academic development of China, the main points are: the beginning of the origin ofYi Xi Ciand the historical records written by Sima Qian. The development of Chinese and western academic has different crises up till now. Only returning to the “source” of thoughts and making new examination can we clarify and find out the truth of academic ideas, and have new hope to save the crisis.

Two Versions of Heterotopia:The Role of Art Practices in Participative Urban Renewal Processes

Pier Luigi Sacco, Sendy Ghirardi, Maria Tartari, Marianna Trimarchi

The purpose of this paper is to take part in the debate about power relationships in contemporary cities between the agents of urban renewal and the local communities, as mediated by cultural and artistic interventions and projects. Our study proposes a new conceptual frame, focusing on the comparison between two notions of heterotopia as theoretical alternatives for the interpretation of cities as social and participatory spaces.The notions we consider can be traced to two key thinkers Michel Foucault and Henri Lefebvre. We lay the foundation for alternative analytical paradigms of contemporary urban condition by relating them to artistic and cultural practices in the public space. We draw upon these two alternative readings of heterotopia to explore the implications of the interaction of artistic practices with urban space as a contested terrain from the viewpoint of power relationships. In our analysis, we find that Foucault’s notion of heterotopia is potentially conducive to top-down planning processes and to gentrification, while Lefebvre’s notion is possibly more suited to participatory practices as strategies of reactivation of the right to the city.

Foucault and Post-Structuralism Feminism

Wu Xiaoyan

The third-wave feminism, based on reflections upon liberal strategies and identity politics, emphasizes the instability, difference, and multitude of power relations and subject identities, drawing from post-structuralism as its pivotal resources. The theory and personal practice of Michel Foucault has a crucial influence on post-structuralist feminist theories. These theorists, such as Judith Butler and Donna Haraway, strive to reveal and deconstruct the gendered power relation, which is taken for granted in the existent knowledge system, and seek possibilities of subverting normative power while “undoing the subject”. Both Foucauldian pessimism and feminist optimism demonstrate a wisdom and courage that do not replicate the normative power modality, and they reveal that the genuine resistance against power is to be a persistent “trouble”.

Collective Unconscious Interpretation of “Sang Culture”

Li Haoran

With “Sang culture” in the ascendant, the public is covered by the decadent and childish appearance, while its essence is still not deeply explored. Therefore, it is very important to reread and interpret the origin of “Sang culture”. Based on the prototype content of Jung’s collective unconsciousness, this paper analyzes the reasons for the growth and development of “Sang culture”. It is represented by herd mentality, critical consciousness and spiritual crisis due to the loss of faith in social environment. On the other hand, because of the personality anomie behavior in individual cognition, it is embodied in the excessive expansion of the personality mask, the excessive release of the inner shadow and the lack of self.

Differentiation and Coexistence: an Analysis of the Different Causes between the Tradition from Shamanism to Tao and the Tradition from Shamanism to Etiquette

Zeng Zhongquan

It should be noted that the differences between the southern Shamanism tradition from Shamanism to Tao and the Northern Shamanism from Shamanism to etiquette are caused by social system, cultural heritage, power game, and worship patterns. It includes the differences between the social legacy of maternal clan and the social system of patrilineal clan; the differentiation and inheritance between the “Yi Xue” of matrilineal clan and patrilineal clan; the balance and differences of power between Shamanism right and royal power; the differences in worship patterns. In view of generalized shamanism civilization, the differentiation and coexistence of the south Shamanism and the North Shamanism has a major influence on the ideological and cultural tradition of ancient China, forming a derivative route of the ancient Chinese ideological and cultural traditions:the northern witches evolve from witches to rites, the interpretation of rites to benevolence, and the southern witches evolve from witches to Taoism, and the Shinto evolves from Taoism and Taoism. The two major traditions of ancient Chinese ideology and culture are formed by their differentiation, coexistence and integration, which have a profound impact on the later Chinese culture.

The New Realm of Life Aesthetics: on Professor Pan Zhichang’s New Book Aesthetic Salvation in Belief Construction

Fan Zao

Pan Zhichang’s new bookAesthetic Salvation in Belief Constructioncontinues his life philosophy of “I love and I am” and life aesthetics of “I appreciate beauty and I am”. In response to the nihilism after Nietzsche claims “God died”, the book reexamines Cai Yuanpei’s “substituting aesthetic education for religion” and points out that beauty is the most important power of salvation. Different from the ancient belief construction with the help of religion, today’s belief construction urgently needs the help of aesthetics. The Chinese thought tradition of “no religion but belief”can make its own contribution to the world for aesthetic salvation. Therefore, the book carries on the “Qing Ben Aesthetics” of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and then establishes the new aesthetics of Qing Ben realm life theory based on the life philosophy of “benevolence on all things in one”.
