The Predicament of Modernity and Its Transcendence from the Perspective of Species-Philosophy
Species-consciousness,species-practice and species-essence are the immanent basis for the formation of species-philosophy,which derives from the starting point of man as a special entity and active subject;this is what man is.However,for man to be what he is is only a possibility;if man is to be realized as what he is in the sense of the meta-philosophy of ontology,epistemology and axiology,he must make himself a universal being in consciousness as well as in practice.He must make himself a universal agent of practice through production and communication,and a discoverer,legislator and practitioner of universal principles and the laws of practice through consciousness and cognition.Species-philosophy is the theoretical self-awareness of man's inner nature of human species-consciousness and species-practice.As a product of the world operational logic of capital,globalization has turned human species-consciousness,species-practice and species-essence into a cosmopolitan being with a philosophical nature.The existence of Anderssein as a result of the objectification activities of species-practice has placed humanity in a crisis from which a reflexive modernity is gradually emerging.Under such circumstances,species-philosophy,a kind of philosophical thinking and practical wisdom,is a theoretical way of deeply understanding and grasping modernity and transcending its predicament in terms of disciplinary heights and problem depths.As a theoretical way of grasping modernity,the predicament of modernity,and transcendence of the predicament of modernity,species-philosophy will manifest itself along the evolutionary path of meta-philosophy,problem philosophy and practical philosophy.
