Features: Echoing Edge Dialogues, this book also breaks away from the dull, verbose, and outdated academic conventions and clichés. It adopts a dialogical and spiritual form similar to that of ancient Greece and the Pre-Qin period, combined with a postmodernist approach of widespread dissemination of thought fragments. Through in-depth questioning of the thought streams of thirteen influential figures currently active in the fields of marginal thinking and avant-garde art in China, as well as powerful and forceful interpretations and confrontations with the essence of thoughts from various ancient and modern masters and numerous cultural phenomena in the East and West, the book strives to vividly showcase and reveal the multidimensional spatiotemporal landscape and humanistic spirit of world culture—religion, philosophy, politics, law, art, theoretical physics, language, and more—during the turn of the century and the turn of the millennium. Adhering to the authentic perspectives of space and time, while offering unique interpretations and reflections on the foundation of Western culture, it also delivers sharp and vigorous critiques. Simultaneously, it delves into profound introspection and rediscovery of the roots of Eastern culture, ultimately creatively predicting a peculiar vision of the 21st century where the world will find rebirth under the illumination and leadership of a rising China.
This book is also an invaluable collection of debates or orations with a certain polemical nature. Amidst the intricate web of high intellectual density and explosive language, the thoughts occasionally burst forth like sudden flashes of inspiration, illuminating and enriching the reader's mind. As an interdisciplinary and original work, it is suitable for reading and reference by groups such as university students, art enthusiasts, humanities and social science researchers, and international students. With the help of the book's visuals and texts, readers can not only obtain hand-painted thought portraits of contemporary influential figures but also gain fresh insights into Western genius, learn about the latest developments in cutting-edge thought forums, and gain revolutionary perspectives on many authoritative doctrines.
This book is also a work imbued with strong experimental characteristics. For this reason, all past conventional interpretations and principles of comprehension will be challenged here.
