A Friend Asked: Essays on Self-as-an-End, Volume II / 有朋友问:SAE随笔集·卷二

A Friend Asked: Essays on Self-as-an-End, Volume II: Living as an End* is a collection of applied-philosophy essays that begins with ordinary questions. This volume contains the general preface and sixty-five essays, arranged in the order in which they were originally written and organized into five parts: “Inner Life,” “Knowledge and Consciousness,” “Education, Freedom, and Relationships,” “Power and Public Life,” and “New Forms of Instrumentalization and Human Resistance.” Volume II brings the Self-as-an-End (SAE) framework into concrete questions concerning death, love, loneliness, education, freedom, consciousness, power, public life, and artificial intelligence. The essays minimize specialist vocabulary and approach philosophy through situations that remain open to general readers. This is a bilingual Zenodo record. The same DOI contains corresponding Chinese- and English-language PDFs. Essay numbers and hidden stable source IDs match across the two editions. The Chinese and English Markdown manuscripts may also be uploaded as source files or retained privately by the author. 《有朋友问:SAE随笔集·卷二:作为目的而生活》是一部以日常问题为入口的应用哲学随笔集。本卷收录全书总序与六十五篇正文,正文依照最初写作时间排列,分为“内在生活”“知识与意识”“教育、自由与关系”“权力与公共生活”“新工具化与人的抵抗”五辑。 卷二把 Self-as-an-End(SAE)框架带入死亡、爱、孤独、教育、自由、意识、权力、公共生活与人工智能等具体处境。文章尽量少使用专门术语,以普通读者可以进入的方式讨论人在现实世界中如何作为目的而生活。 本记录为中英双语记录,同一 DOI 下收录彼此对应的中文版 PDF 与英文版 PDF。两种语言的篇目编号与隐藏稳定来源 ID 一一对应。中文与英文 Markdown 原稿可作为源文件一并上传或由作者自行保存。

Abstract

A Friend Asked: Essays on Self-as-an-End, Volume II: Living as an End* is a collection of applied-philosophy essays that begins with ordinary questions. This volume contains the general preface and sixty-five essays, arranged in the order in which they were originally written and organized into five parts: “Inner Life,” “Knowledge and Consciousness,” “Education, Freedom, and Relationships,” “Power and Public Life,” and “New Forms of Instrumentalization and Human Resistance.” Volume II brings the Self-as-an-End (SAE) framework into concrete questions concerning death, love, loneliness, education, freedom, consciousness, power, public life, and artificial intelligence. The essays minimize specialist vocabulary and approach philosophy through situations that remain open to general readers. This is a bilingual Zenodo record. The same DOI contains corresponding Chinese- and English-language PDFs. Essay numbers and hidden stable source IDs match across the two editions. The Chinese and English Markdown manuscripts may also be uploaded as source files or retained privately by the author. 《有朋友问:SAE随笔集·卷二:作为目的而生活》是一部以日常问题为入口的应用哲学随笔集。本卷收录全书总序与六十五篇正文,正文依照最初写作时间排列,分为“内在生活”“知识与意识”“教育、自由与关系”“权力与公共生活”“新工具化与人的抵抗”五辑。 卷二把 Self-as-an-End(SAE)框架带入死亡、爱、孤独、教育、自由、意识、权力、公共生活与人工智能等具体处境。文章尽量少使用专门术语,以普通读者可以进入的方式讨论人在现实世界中如何作为目的而生活。 本记录为中英双语记录,同一 DOI 下收录彼此对应的中文版 PDF 与英文版 PDF。两种语言的篇目编号与隐藏稳定来源 ID 一一对应。中文与英文 Markdown 原稿可作为源文件一并上传或由作者自行保存。
