秋日来信An autumn letter

写给读者的话

A letter to the reader

亲爱的读者:

Dear Reader,

任何一门学问的产生与发展,都离不开其历史性,也离不开它在具体时空中所处的关系性结构。

Every field of inquiry emerges and develops within history, shaped by the relational structures of its particular time and place.

当今世界,我们面对着主体性、异构价值的共生、国际关系近临界态下的治理、正义,以及面向异构主体与环境的伦理等问题。

Today, we face questions of subjectivity, the coexistence of heterogeneous values, governance near criticality in international relations, justice, and our ethical relations with heterogeneous subjects and the environment.

人工智能背景下的教育、学问的创造与发展、判断力,以及气候变动,同样需要我们认真回应。

Education, the creation and development of knowledge, and judgment in an age of AI also call for our attention, as does climate change.

孤立的学科视野,难以充分回应这些相互关联的挑战。

An isolated disciplinary perspective can offer only a partial response to such interconnected challenges.

我们需要认识各个学科之间的关系,在它们共同构成的关系性系统中开展实践,并作出必要的创造。

We need to understand the relations among disciplines, work within the relational systems they form together, and create where new possibilities are needed.

这也是我不住居于任何一门具体学科的原因。

This is why I do not make my intellectual home within any single discipline.

时代的挑战要求我们,以全局视野和系统论的思考方式,审视学问的判断、创造与发展。

The challenges of our time ask us to approach judgment, creation, and development in scholarship with a view of the whole, informed by systems theory.

若各位读者能从这里有所收获,哪怕只是一点新的启发,我都会十分开心。

If you find something worthwhile here, even a small spark of understanding, I will be very glad.

时值秋日。愿大家在学习与回应全球问题的实践中,一切顺利,硕果累累。

As autumn arrives, I wish you well in your studies and in your efforts to address global challenges, and hope that both bear fruit.

也愿我们在历史中展开自己的好奇心与使命,在这一过程中,见证生命的意义。

May we witness the meaning of life as our curiosity and sense of purpose unfold within history.

有时候,按计划应该完成的事情,会被一些计划之外的小事打断。比如走进图书馆之前,注意到门口的一朵花,蹲下来看了一会儿,半天就过去了。 这件小事或许值得展开。它牵涉到一个更大的问题:在一个描述工具空前丰富的时代,我们真正能听见的东西,是不是反而越来越少? 受过严格学术训练、又在AI时代成长起来的人,或许都会逐渐养成一种习惯,可以试着称它为目的过滤。 读书之前先问,这本书对我的研究有用吗。做事之前先问,这件事会带来什么产出。甚至与人相处之前都会有一点这样的反射,这次互动的意义在哪里。 这种过滤当然有它的功能,让人能在有限的时间里做更多的事。但它也可能有一个不太被注意到的代价,让人越来越不容易被任何事
