61909—1924年德语世界对中国哲学史的书写 [The Historiography of Chinese Philosophy in the German-speaking World from 1909–1924]Jianghai Xuekan 江海学刊 Jianghai Academic Journal 350 (2). 2024.20世纪初是德语世界正式出版关于中国哲学史著作的起点。1909—1924年之间德语世界出版了若干关于中国哲学史的论文和专著,通过调查作者们的教育背景和研究成果,以及其代表作的写作背景、内容框架及其影响,可以勾勒出这一时期德语学界中国哲学研究的概况。从分析当时德语学界对中国哲学的认识范围和中国哲学史框架构建的一般情况,可以看出欧洲对中国哲学和哲学史研究的一些核心问题所在。前现代中国哲学史在德语地区接纳和传播的过程与方式,这一至今德国与中国学界尚未涉足的空白领域,值得研究并填补。[The beginning of the twentieth century was the starting point for the production of works on the history of Chinese philosophy in the German-speaking world.

13庫薩的尼古拉哲學中的鏡面隱喻 The Mirror Metaphor in the Philosophy of Nicolas of CusaJidujiao Wenhua Xuekan 基督教文化學刊 Journal for the Study of Christian Culture 40 92-107. 2018.The mirror metaphor has been an essential asset especially during the pre-modern history of philosophy. The present article is concerned with its use in the philosophy of the German thinker Nicolas of Cusa (1401-1464). Being rooted in the intellectual traditions of Greek antiquity and Medieval Christian philosophy, Nicolas of Cusa has also been hailed as one of the first modern European philosophers. Long before other occidental thinkers, Nicolas of Cusa used the mirror metaphor to describe the …Read more

21無限的根基——論庫薩的尼古拉之不可言説的言説 The Infinite Foundation: Nicolaus Cusanus’ Ineffable Way of Speaking (ineffabile fari)Jidujiao Wenhua Xuekan 基督教文化學刊 Journal for the Study of Christian Culture 46 49-73. 2021.Concerning Nicolaus Cusanus’ (Nicholas of Cusa, 1401–1464) mysticism of the intellect, his approach to the problem of ineffability deserves the special attention of researchers. Preceded by a general exposition on the topic of the inconceivability of the experience of the foundational autopoietic self-reference of thinking and speaking, this article shows how Nicolaus Cusanus has developed a complex approach to the problem of an “ineffable way of speaking” (ineffable fari). Cusanus developed a s…Read more

Philosophical Reflections on Culture and Future Globalization in View of Classical Wisdom from China and Other Ancient CivilizationsInternational Communication of Chinese Culture 9 (1-2): 69-83. 2022.In this article, the foundations of a new principle of international relations are discussed.

Nye Jr. In the next part, a portion of the intension of a new concept of culture is established. It serves as a conceptual background an…Read more

12The Understanding of Understanding: A Philosophical Reflection from a Transcultural PerspectiveInternational Communication of Chinese Culture 8 (1): 121-143. 2021.The basic question of this article is: “What is understanding?” The objective is to initiate a process and a state of self-reflexivity which might best be defined as an understanding of understanding. In this self-referential philosophical setting, it cannot be our aim to attempt to produce any (alleged) final answers, because cognitive self-referentiality, taken as a source principle of mind, is without beginning and end. However, it is feasible to explore possibilities of a continuously increa…Read more
