Alecs Ștefănescu reseñó Post-Europe de Yuk Hui
Two lines of exploration fused into one book
3 estrellas
The way I understand it, Post-Europe explores two questions: 1. What is the future of philosophy in Asia? 2. How can European philosophy transcend its roots in colonialism / violence / imposition and become relevant once more as a lens through which we can reason about the interplay between technology and society?
I think that the answers Yuk Hui proposes to these two questions are the following: 1. Asian philosophy needs to go through a process of individuation of thought. For this, it needs internal tension, an understand of its roots, counter-points to stand against and, crucially, a creative outlook. 2. Post-European philosophy can come from a Europe that leaves behind the obsession with nationality, and instead assumes the embodied position of the "homeless"/ "nation-less" person / people.
