第一場：Bringing up and Breaking down the paradigm of “Western philosophy”: Reflections on the Histories of Philosophy in the 20th century

主講人：Rolf Elberfeld (Universität Hildesheim)

與談人：Huan Kuan-min 黃冠閔, Wu Feng-Wei 吳豐維 、Jean-Yves Heurtebise 何重誼

主持人：宋灝

演講摘要 Abstract

At the end of the 19th century, philosophy was defined exclusively as "European philosophy" in the histories of philosophy in Europe. In the 20th century, "European philosophy" became "Western philosophy". As early as the 19th century, however, in the field of various Philologies "Histories of Chinese, Indian, Islamic, Japanese, Jewish etc. Philosophy" were written. The spectrum of philosophy has now expanded greatly through different national perspectives. The lecture attempts to reflect this development in its problematic and productive aspects.

第二場：Overcoming Occidentalism: Five Theses on cosmopolitan Solidarity

主講人：Rachid Boutayeb (Doha Institute)

與談人：戴遠雄、李雨鍾

主持人：高長空

演講摘要 Abstract

My lecture deals with Arab-Islamic Occidentalism and its selective and ideological interpretation of Western modernity and Islamic cultural heritage. In five theses, I present what I define as the dehumanizing logic of Occidentalism and explain why it only signifies reverse Orientalism or a false response to Western hegemony. The common denominator of Occidentalists is their rejection of cosmopolitanism, which they see as threatening their real or imagined identity.

Drawing from the works of Kant, Adorno, and Derrida, I advocate for cosmopolitan solidarity, vital to overcoming both Occidentalism and Orientalism. In this context, I address the classic conflict between civilization and culture in modern Arab thought, which still constitutes today's dominant discourse.
