Wang Feng is a winner walking on the ideological balance beam. After deconstructing Cui Jian＇s grand narrative mode and strong critical feature, his works have been endowed with heavy critical color and reflection value by a grassroots band named ＂Xuriyanggang＂. Besides, Wang Feng＇s works have eliminated the distinction between the official and folk feature, elegance and worldly feature, as well as elite and mass. To a large extent, they have defined the rock music in contemporary China, and pushed the Chinese rock to the mainstream market. Consequently, the Chinese rock has been gradually developed into multiple and compound culture modes.展开更多

Chinese, Western and Marxist philosophies must break disciplinary segmentation and take the reality of Chinese society and its trends of development as their common platform of thinking. By using their respective intellectual resources, they should endeavor to build up a social philosophy thatmay satisfy the needs of Chinese people and China＇s development, and is able to provide guides to their life and practice.展开更多

It aims to provide a more inclusive perception of world order, and calls for a less nationalistic and hegemonic understanding of Confucianism in contemporary China＇s intellectual or ideological projections, which has been used to envision China＇s foreign policies recently. For the political use of the word ＂ harmony＂ today seems similar to instrumentalization of Confucianism in history. I focus on his idea of ＂being one body with the cosmos＂ and its socio-political dimensions of the world as one family, and then bring them into dialogue with the recent Western theorizing of liberal cosmopolitanism -- an idea of world citizenship which bases global governance on a universally rational foundation. I argue that Wang bases his cosmopolitanism upon graded care and a particular sense of sympathy. It is a sort of moral sentiment of embodied oneness and a cosmic psyche in caring for Heaven, earth, and the myriad creatures like caring for one＇s own body. It also accommodates ＂ integral pluralism＂ which urges one to sincerely and properly construe others＇ cultures and traditions without blindly embracing or rejecting them. Such cosmopolitanism is not an abstract love based on human rationality, but an allinclusive care with graded sympathy to others.展开更多
