One of 46 Fujian Tulou buildings added to the UNESCO World Heritage List this July, Bu Yun in Nanjing County teemed with activity. Children brushed their teeth, women washed clothes, men set out stalls full of souvenirs and others stood chatting in the local dialect. Huang Zhixiong, who was born and raised in the three-floor square building, was among the crowd. He has been running a tourist-transportation business for six years, making a living by taking tourists on motorcycle tours of the scattered architecture that dots the hills in the south and west of Fujian Province.展开更多

Some people regard an increase in the number of divorce cases brought by omen as a sign that society has advanced.

I begin by providing some pointers concerning the concept of wisdom in general and situating the discourse on wisdom in comparative philosophy in the context of the later Foucault＇s and Pierre Hadot＇s historical investigations into ancient Graeco-Roman philosophy as a mode of spiritual self-cultivation and self-transformation. In the remainder of the paper, I try to describe and think through what Foucault identifies as a “Cartesian moment,” in which self-knowledge becomes the ultimate precondition for the ethico-spiritual project of “caring for the self,” in Tang＇s approach of wisdom. In the course of my argument, I outline the complex relation between his vision of a renewed Confucian mode of religious practice on the one hand and his philosophical presuppositions conceming the transcendental status of subjectivity and the reflexivity of consciousness on the other.展开更多
