Hardback. Condición: New. Professor Xu Xiaoyue, a top-notch scholar specializing in ancient Chinese philosophies and religions, displays essential constituents of Chinese humanism before readers. According to him, key concepts such as Confucian ten virtues, Daoist Way and Buddhist metaphysical voidness play quite a significant role in shaping the Chinese humanism, which not only is historically indispensable to the creation of traditional Chinese culture but it also realistically matters to present-day China's cultural reconstruction in the world that is being remolded by the roots.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Chinese Internet Vernacular," a complex of novel language varieties associated with the Chinese internet, is usually thought to consist of an increasing host of linguistic memes currently or once virally spread. Focusing on the vernacular's most prominent character - meaning change, this book attempts to account for the different dimensions and aspects that contribute to the memes' meaning and function variations, based on the quantitative and qualitative data meticulously collected by following and recording the various memes' diffusions on Chinese social media over four years. Through the discussion of four comprehensive case studies, what we experience as noticeable meaning change throughout a viral meme's diffusion may in fact be indexical to, under different circumstances, interpersonal communicative effects, collective identities, and community affiliations, as well as larger sociocultural values and ideologies, all of which can be reflexively performed, enacted, and calibrated in social media interactions. With such efforts, this book hopes to do justice to the complexities and dynamics of the "Chinese Internet Vernacular" as a holistic sociolinguistic phenomenon. AUTHOR: NIE Hua obtained his PhD at Tilburg Univeristy in the Netherlands under Professor Jan Blommaert. He is currently a lecturer in the School of Foreign Studies at the China University of Political Science and Law. His academic interests include sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, digital ethnography and new media studies. He has published journal articles and book chapters on topics of language and identity, medical communication, etc. He is currently working on the project of Chinese young people's cross-linguistic metapragmatic awareness and practices on social media. A pioneering digital ethnography of language varieties and practices on Chinese internet as a holistic sociolinguistic phenomenon.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Life itself has long gone unnoticed in Confucian texts since the Qinand Han dynasties, which is similarto the forgetting of Being, per se, inthe Western philosophy after theAxial Period, according to Heidegger. Today, there is a philosophical mission to return life to Confucianism, restoring and reconstructing Confucianism in the perspective of a comparison between Confucianismand Husserl's Phenomenology. The author reduces the features of life to the essence of a thing, butreturns to life as the essence of Being. The author rejects the idea of post-philosophy in order to reconstruct the metaphysicaland the post-metaphysical gradations of Confucianism. These gradations are made along three strata in the life of human beings-no-being of anything (a life comprehension), metaphysical thinghood (the absolute Being), and post-metaphysical things (the relative beings). In this way we have a full understanding of the idea of Confucianism. The book reinterprets the concepts that already exist in Confucianism and develops new ones, thus reviving Confucianism especially the key thoughts of Confucius and Mencius in modern times.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. These original essays debate two ways of theorizing social life. One way is the integrative or holistic model of thought typified in the writings of Confucius.
