Recent Developments,Bottlenecks,and China's Role in International Academic Efforts in Western Philosophy of Mind
As a culturally significant nation,we cannot be content with merely tracking or reviewing the research of others.Instead,we must consider how Chinese philosophy of mind can assert itself on the world stage and contribute to solving the global challenges in the philosophy of mind with a distinctly Chinese voice,ultimately securing its place in the international academic arena.The latest developments and bottleneck issues in western philosophy of mind offer us valuable challenges and opportunities to seize the academic high ground in collaborative international efforts to address these issues.To contribute Chinese wisdom in the quest for solutions in the philosophy of mind,it is first necessary to assess the current state of research and diagnose existing problems.Second,we must adhere to general principles and procedures of essential understanding:begin by thoroughly examining individual psychological cases and their characteristics,ensuring that no psychological patterns or cases,especially typical ones,are overlooked.From there,we proceed from the particular to the general,gradually advancing our understanding of the essence of the mind.Finally,we must strengthen ontological research on the mind,particularly addressing the conceptual void that exists in articulating psychological phenomena.A"conceptual revolution"aimed at constructing an appropriate categorical system is essential to overcoming the primary contradiction of low-quality development in the philosophy of mind.
