Subjectivity Derailed: Remembering the Cultural Revolution
In an autobiographical account, originally published in the German language for the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution (Roetz 2016b) and reworked for this volume, the author looks at the Cultural Revolution as a critical apogee in the history of subjectivity in China. He discusses the position of the “Frankfurt School” and the “New Left” with regard to China, and points out some disturbing resemblances between German and Chinese modern …
In Search of Allies: Global Philosophy as Criticism
The world is more dominated than ever by a destructive logic of self-assertion (Selbstbehauptung) at the expense of global solidarity. Can Chinese philosophy offer an alternative? If philosophy is needed today, then it is a philosophy which is able to break through that logic, instead of itself falling victim to or even supporting it. However, the latter is the case if a philosophy understands itself as an expression of a specific cultural ident…
Klassische chinesische Philosophie: Eine Einführung
Chinese philosophical thought, which has fascinated Europe ever since the Enlightenment, originated in one of the most turbulent periods of Chinese history, the period from the sixth to the third century BC, in response to a crisis of disruption in ancient civilization. This book is dedicated to this "classical" period because of its lasting significance. It is intended to provide readers, even those without prior knowledge, with a reliable intro…
On Subjectivity and Secularity in Axial Age China
The Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies “Multiple Secularities –\nBeyond the West, Beyond Modernities” deals with topics, at least some\nof which I have myself dealt with throughout my sinological and philosophical\nlife.1 I came to Frankfurt in autumn 1968: fascinated by Frankfurt\nSchool, I started studying sociology, but to my surprise this did not mean\nstudying Critical Theory. Instead, it meant going through quite a conventional\neducati…
The Influence of Foreign Knowledge on Eighteenth Century European Secularism
In this chapter, the author uses the term, Secularism,in its original meaning as a positive plea for a society free from the constraints of a religious doctrine. It had its roots in the epoch of the European Enlightenment with its peak in the eighteenth century but with a longer prehistory. By foreign knowledge he means first of all knowledge about and from the world outside of the Judeo-Christian and Greek cultural sphere, which poured into Euro…
Chinese ‘Unity of Man and Nature’: Reality or Myth?
China is one of the ecologically most threatened regions on earth. It has been argued that the ecological disaster is mainly due to the incursion of Western modernity with its unleashing of instrumental reason. In order to find a way out, China would have to rediscover its ecological wisdom of the past. Without calling into question the specific responsibility of the West, this chapter argues that in fact there is no cultural dichotomy of this ki…
A comment on Victor H. Mair’s “Religious Formations and Intercultural Contacts in Early China”
Victor Mair is one of the most prominent authors to argue for significant very early intercultural contacts. He not only maintains that such contacts existed to a considerable extent, but that they shaped Chinese mainstream practice and ideology and determined the fundamental nature of Sinitic religion. The author shares Victor Mair's conviction that Chinese culture - like any culture - has been the constantly changing result of a confluence of k…

China — eine andere Moderne?
Kein Thema ist unter den chinesischen Intellektuellen seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts mehr diskutiert worden als das Verhältnis der chinesischen Tradition zur Moderne.1 Seit den traumatischen Ereignissen des 19. Jahrhunderts mit dem schließlichen Zusammenbruch des Kaiserreiches steht China vor dem Problem, wie, wenn überhaupt, die über lange Zeit bewährten Maßstäbe einer der ältesten Kulturen der Menschheit und die neuen Standards ei…
