我前到一些世界的地方(出行, 旅行) 是波兰，立陶宛, 斯洛文尼亚，拉脱维亚，克罗地亚，葡萄牙, 塞内加尔和冈比亚。越南, 泰国我也都到过了. 我喜欢古典音乐，另类或前卫的音乐和艺术。我从FT和纽约时报拿了新闻。我认为香港和欧洲的电影有趣。我收藏书，唱片和紫茶壶。泡茶是有什么历史。我从１９９７开始练习泡茶, 茶艺，开始收藏紫茶壶。那时候我在台北住，在台北发现了中国的文化。 My interests stem from philosophy and religion, often comparative, to sociology, psychoanalysis, anthropology and political and economic histories of the developing world. I have traveled to 14 countries, spending time in rural areas of Coastal West Africa, visiting less developed areas in Northern Vietnam, and have resided in major cities for extended times, from London to NYC, Taipei, Hong Kong, Canton (Guangzhou). East Europe has been a favored destination both northern and southern.

post-medieval historical period

Modernity

Modernity is historically rooted in the changes that took place in Europe around the 1500s. The political and economic forces, which had dominated the Middle Ages, feudalism and the papacy, began to recede, giving way to the new dominate formations of nationalism and mercantilism. It is in this atmosphere of change that Descarte declared, “cogito ergo sum” thus beginning an epistemological trend in charge of uncovering, or discovering of the subject. Habermas identifies subjectivity as arising from “ …key historical events… the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution” (Habermas, 17). The presence of subjectivity was a prominent feature throughout the European events that shaped modernity, and is one that continues to be contested as well as ruminated upon in Continental as well as Anglo- American philosophical discourse.-(taken from graduate paper)

China and Tradition

Traditionally, in China the family has ontologically definedä ones existence, meaning there has been little or no space present for an individuality4. Lucian Pye states that “From early childhood Chinese are taught that individualism is evil…and that security can be found only by sticking to the assigned roles in the collective.” ( Pye, 199-200 ) Defined as an economic unit the family, representing the collective, has traditionally been made up of people who are related through sanguine ties, bbbmarriage and adoption. The involvement in shared common property, as well as shared consumption also delimited the membership of a family. This collective was held together by the patriline, the linage system in which males are the threads connecting generations through time, and where a male offspring was absent such a line was in jeopardy of dying off. An interdependency of reciprocity between the living and the deceased cemented the structure in a cosmology of ancestor spirits dependent on the living for offerings, while spirits favorably affected circumstances for the living. Ideally, the family under one roof consisted of multiple generations with the oldest living male as the head, subsequent son with wives, and beyond that grandsons and perhaps their wives and children. (excerpted from graduate paper on Feminism in China, 2002)

我二〇〇三年夏天到維爾紐斯。維爾紐斯市是立陶宛的首都。立陶宛是在東北歐。維爾紐斯市的老教堂很多老街老建築也有。

To think that our perceptions and political reality is of some evolved or teleological endpoint is to succumb to myopia that is of value to nothing but dominate forces that have carved out and butchered other regions of the world thus leading to extremism which only fuels hatred and ethnocentrism in all arenas.

我在曼哈顿的华埠住过了一年。那时候我没有厨房(no kitchen) 所以我每天外吃饭。那一年跑到好多小区找一找小店或餐馆咖啡馆等。每天在外喝咖啡看报看书，到外吃饭还喝酒交朋友。

I have sought to argue that tradition symbolically is a representation of community, and communities either fall prey to becoming hollow locales vacuous of any localism and hence a populous prone to anomy, or they retain a continuity with their past, while surviving the out migration and in migration as well as modernization and westernization, which in such a case we see a resilience of community.
