دانلود کتاب Doubt, time and violence in philosophical and cultural thought : Sino-Western interpretations and analysis

As the title of the present publication suggests, the ten essays of this book try to approach an inconvenient trauma of global human reality and uniformity of media and cyberspace in which human lives suffer harm, loss of inner identity and of broader meaning. Indeed, our postmodern and post-identity times are characterized by a flux of rapid social changes, uncertainty, vague and shaking moral values, by violence and frightening information with its contradictory truths and genuine ambiguity; finally by the violence of unpredictable climate change resulting in various and frequent calamities and devastation of life. Doubt and time are the central concern of modern philosophy and remind us that violence is inherent in the human condition and that reflection on it, regardless of different cultural sensibilities, is ipso facto part of the mainstream of our individual and global concerns. These and many other fascinating topics from Western and Chinese history were explored and brought to light by a learned forum of distinguished scholars and experts whose contributions are contained in this publication
