The chinese youth newspaper's client service (chongqing china news reporter chiang xiaobin) is known as the “most cool professor of philosophy” and the new book of kang woo-hui, professor at the faculty of political and international relations of the chinese teacher training university, “the end of life philosophy”, recently published by life reader shinichi tribune bookshop。
Using ten life-critical words such as life, love, pleasure, creation, confusion, courage, greed, fate, freedom, death as a clue, the author leads readers into the world of ten ancient philosophers — sart, augustine, bergson, jung, nietzsche, freud, spinoza, condé, levinas — who interpret complex philosophical concepts in accessible languages, allowing readers to think and understand their lives while understanding these great philosophers。
Kang oki used to express his understanding of philosophy in a way that was closer to life. For him, philosophy is not something outside of life, music, film, literature and even video games are just as important and crucial texts as philosophical texts. The seemingly cold philosophy is a reflection of the world, a doubt of life and an exploration of the unknown. They touch our very nature of existence and shape our way of life and values。
Kang woo hui
From kang's perspective, everyone needs philosophy, especially when we feel helpless, face the problems and difficulties of life and lack an effective response strategy. We need to understand philosophy, understand ourselves, understand the world, understand life, find strategies to deal with the plight of life and find deeper meaning and direction. Only then can we truly achieve freedom and independence in life. In his words, "the real life begins with you knowing yourself, and the whole world begins with you knowing others." life says that there's a clear one."
However, for most people, the philosophies are nuanced in language and complex theory, and at a time when we need a “waiver” — who has sufficient expertise and can guide us to understanding and feeling philosophy in common language, vividly. Kang woo-hui explains the uniqueness of philosophy in that he is always able to apply philosophy to life in a profound and shallow way. He has translated seemingly high-level philosophical knowledge into tactile life experience, allowing readers to understand philosophy while understanding themselves and the world。
How can we reach the unknown side in a world of uncertainty and possibility? Putting the philosophy of life to the bottom here is a way for us to find the way forward for those who have the courage to try and change. (all pictures of this paper are provided by life reader shinichi bookshop)
