There are many factors leading global ecological crisis, such as dominant idea, population overload, excess consumption and technology alienation. However, vari- ous reasons commonly point toward the capital logic actually. Society controlled under the capital pursuits surplus value and profit growth blindly, ig- nores the nature law and environmental justice, which is the archcriminal leading ecological collapse. Therefore, only abandoning the capital logic, stipulating the economic rationality, we can eliminate environmental woes gradually, thus ultimately achieving harmony and common prosperity of man and nature.展开更多

Adorno＇s exploration of the culture industry, which he sees as characterized by deception and manipulation. The article then goes on to focus on the phenomenon of ＂false culture,＂ which has been brought about by commodity fetishism＇s expansion to the cultural field in terms of both artistic creation （production） and appraciation （consumption）. The article＇s task then turns to interpreting Adomo＇s critical reflections on art on the basis of his non-identity philosophy and the intrinsic dual dimensions （both destroying and reconciling） of ＂＇negative dialectics.＂ This allows one to make the claim that there is an inner relationship between Adorno＇s theory of art and his social thought, and that these two aspects of discussion, particularly seen in relation provide a foundation for meaningful human life.展开更多

This suggestion, however, has not been substantiated. This essay is an attempt to provide a justification of Fung＇s assertion through an existential analysis of the Chinese concepts of nature. The essay will examine Chinese existential concerns prevailing in Daoism and Confucianism, and these systems＇ distaste for the type of scientific study which has become prevalent in the modern world. I also intend to defend the claim that the ultimate concern of the Zhuangzi and the Zhongyong is completely contrary to the one that sustains modern science. A brief comparative discussion between Xu Guangqi and Galileo Galilei will be used to support this claim. My discussion will raise the contention that, to have a better understanding of the development of modern science in China, we have to understand the attitude toward religion that has underpinned modern science.展开更多
