Stanowisko
Li Zehou combined Marx, Kant and Confucius in an “anthropo-historical ontology”. Kant was right that knowledge and morality have universal forms, but these are not given a priori: they are “sedimented” over millennia from collective practice, above all the making and using of tools, and form a cultural-psychological structure in each individual. Beauty marks the point where nature has been humanised and reason has become feeling; hence aesthetics can be first philosophy. Chinese culture, shaped by Confucius, is for him a culture of this-worldly joy and of reason infused with feeling. His books fuelled the “aesthetics fever” of the 1980s and made him a guide for a generation of students.
Życie i kontekst
Li Zehou was born in 1930 in Changsha (Hunan), studied philosophy at Peking University and then worked at the Institute of Philosophy in Beijing. He made his name in the aesthetics debates of the 1950s; sent to a re-education cadre school in the Cultural Revolution, he secretly worked on Kant there. Criticised after 1989, he moved to the United States in 1992 and died in Boulder, Colorado, in 2021.
