Daoism and the Project of an Ecological Civilization or Shengtai Wenming 生态文明
For China today, environmentalism is central. The socialist doctrine of "Xi Jinping Thought" prioritizes transitioning to sustainability in the goal of building an "Ecological Civilization". This creates unprecedented opportunities for Daoist practitioners to engage in state-coordinated activism (part 1). We show how the science of the planetary crisis (part 2) resonates with Daoist values (part 3), how these values integrate in national policy g…

Confucius, Maladaptation, and Civil Evolution: Reply to Clippard
Martin Schönfeld responds to Seth D. Clippard's article
Laozi and the New Green Paradigm
226 Laozi and the New Green Paradigm MARTIN SCHÖNFELD A curious feature of this century is that we are facing a biospherical crisis, while the cultural pretense is being made, most remarkably in the United States, that this crisis is either not real (according to the political right) or not requiring real responses (according to the political center). Rightwing climate denial persists together with a bipartisan downplay of the crisis. Meanwhile t…
Global Ethics on Climate Change: The Planetary Crisis and Philosophical Alternatives
Plan B: Global ethics on climate change
This introduction to the special issue on climate puts individual contributions in context. Climate change is the result of the current civilization paradigm and its modes of cognition. This suggests a failure of conventional ways of thinking, including mainstream philosophy. The articles in this issue illustrate alternative philosophical approaches, which point to civil evolution
A Daoist response to climate change
Climate change is now a global problem that can no longer be ignored. As climate change signals a civilization failure, the emerging reality will spur cultures everywhere to re-examine their traditions and rediscover the ecological wisdom of the ancients. Daoism will be no exception. This paper tries to explain the Daoist response to climate change by focusing on the manifestation of Dao, the responsibility of humankind and the ideal life. It sho…
O n e The Vis Viva Debate Kant's Starting Point
This chapter explores the context of Kant’s first and original puzzle: what actually is force? It is an account of the debate over kinetic energy (Leibniz’s “living force” or vis viva) and the historical transition of philosophy of nature to physics. Section 1 summarizes the explorations of energy and force from Galileo to Newton. Section 2 examines the fate and frustrations of the debate over the nature and measurement of dynamic phenomena, a qu…
The Philosophy of the Young Kant: The Precritical Project
The Philosophy of the Young Kant: The Precritical Project is a study of Kant’s early writings and their context. Although Kant’s career spanned more than half a century-from the first texts in 1746 to his final notes in 1801, only his late and “critical” writings, from 1781 to 1790, have received attention. Kant’s pre-critical writings, by contrast, remain largely unknown. The Philosophy of the Young Kant tries to fill this gap by tracing his ear…
Was There a Western Inventor of Porcelain
Was There a Western Inventor of Porcelain? Martin SchÖnfeld (bio) The Western reinvention of porcelain in the early eighteenth century raises some questions: To what extent was it an independent discovery, and who deserves the credit? In short, was there a Western inventor of porcelain? This article seeks to shed some light on the European acquisition of porcelain-making techniques. I shall argue that this acquisition qualifies as an independent …
