About Me

I am a PhD student in Philosophy at Peking University, now staying at Universität zu Köln, Germany. My interests are primarily in Philosophy of Mind, Epistemology and Analytic Phenomenology. Now I am working on my Dissertation: Method, Intentionality, and Knowledge--An essay in analytic phenomenology. --------- I also have substantial interest in Early Modern Philosophy, Political Philosophy and Ethics.

Analytic Phenomenology



A precise definition of the problematic of Analytical Phenomenology will have to be worked out. But let us take that it is a combination of analytical philosophy and phenomenology.
It combines:
(1) Thematically, the primary concern with theories of consciousness, intentionality, and their relation to logic, epistemology, metaphysics etc. Shortly, Philosophy of Mind and Logic, Epistemology,Metaphysics.
(2) A method that makes use of modern logic and philosophical logic
(3) The phenomenological method needs some further refinements perhaps with help of logic and philosophical logic if the results of phenomenological reflection is going to be checked.
.
(n)
Of course this is only the roughest idea of this project.

Perhaps that phenomenology is not so popular today was due to historical accident, but it really needs some great representatives. The representatives will have to do some work that most philosophers will be under obligation to think over.

I am of course not under the illusion that I can do this kind of work.
