Lecture by UM Distinguished Visiting Scholar Prof. Binhua Wang: "Yan Fu's Early Translation 20 Years before Proposing "Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance": His Translation of The Times' Political Commentary on Sino-British Relations"
2025-04-16 16:00 - 17:00 UTC | E21A-G049
Abstract:
Yan Fu, who translated eight major social science works into Chinese, is not only known as a prominent figure in “the spread of Western learning to the East” but also profoundly influential in modern Chinese translation studies for proposing “faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance”, which has been canonised as the criteria of translation even since. However, it is rarely mentioned in translation studies that before translating Western knowledge and proposing “faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance”, Yan Fu, as one of the first Chinese students studying in the UK, had actually translated a political commentary on Sino-British relations from The Times in 1878. That translation had also been very influential as an important document about Sino-British relations at the time, which revealed much about the departure of Guo Songtao, China’s first ambassador to the UK and the West. This lecture will explore this significant yet often overlooked document in the context of modern Chinese diplomacy and translation studies.
作為近代翻譯大家，嚴複翻譯了八大社科著作，在當時影響巨大，堪稱中國20世紀最重要的思想啟蒙譯著。對於翻譯學界而言，嚴複在其譯作<天演論>卷首提出的“譯事三難，信、達、雅”更是影響深遠。然翻譯學界鮮少提及，在其翻譯西學和提出“信、達、雅”之前，早在1878年，作為首批留英學生的嚴複就翻譯了《泰晤士報》的中英關係政論，傳達了關於當時中英關係以及中國首任駐西方國家公使郭嵩燾離任事件的諸多資訊，實為近代中國外交和翻譯研究不可忽視的文獻。本講將對此進行探析。

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Mental Minutiae: On the Residues, Fragments, Remnants, and Seeds of Mental Life" by Prof. Benjamin Winokur, University of Macau
2025-04-09 17:30 - 19:00 | E21A-3118

Abstract
We often refer to the remnants, fragments, and seeds of physical objects in everyday life: the remnants of a fallen building or exploded firecracker, a fragment from a chipped mug, or the seed of an acorn tree. In referring to these, we find nothing of obvious metaphysical difficulty; adequately conceptualizing these items seems to require just basic object concepts, and basic representations of the mereological and temporal relations in which they stand. But what about the remnants or residues of mental phenomena? Here we do confront a metaphysically difficult question, namely whether such mental minutiae exist at all. I first introduce the concept of mental minutiae, contrasting them with “minimally complete” mental phenomena that are not the mere remnants, fragments, or residues of larger mental phenomena. Second, I argue that mental minutiae may be of explanatory use in long-standing philosophical debates about first-person authority and implicit bias. I conclude with some methodological remarks about how to best to ascribe mental minutiae to one another, given their conceptual unfamiliarity from the standpoint of ordinary folk psychology.

FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – "Reason With Multiple Exemplars" by Prof. Xinkan Zhao, Peking University, China
2025-03-26 17:30 - 19:00 | E21A-3118
Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/8aa0b7f1

Abstract
Suppose some form of idealization- and desire-based thesis of internalism about reasons is true, that an agent has reason to φ if and only if the ideal counterpart of the agent has a desire appropriately related to φ-ing. Questions then arise concerning how best to flesh out the thesis and what follows from it when properly understood. In this talk, I take up these questions. More specifically, I first engage with the well-known debate between two ways of understanding the thesis, namely, to treat the counterpart as an exemplar or an advisor, and make a case for a revised version of the exemplar model. Then I critically examine Eric Sampson’s recent challenge that internalism faces foundational difficulties because an agent may have multiple fully rational counterparts. I argue that we should follow Sampson in thinking that internalism should take the form of having multiple exemplars, but that the difficulties he raises rest on mistaken assumptions and therefore do not post a real threat. I go on to work out some of the theoretical consequences of internalism so understood, but remain neutral on whether they count in favor of or against the theory.

Bio
Professor Xinkan Zhao is an assistant professor in philosophy at Peking University, working primarily on normativity and metaethics. He is particularly interested in questions like whether normative facts can be identified with naturalistic facts, whether they are relativized (and if so, how), how various normative systems are related, the extent to which moral rationalism is true, among others. His most recent research focus revolves around theories that can be broadly categorized as constructivism about reasons, which he takes to be the best if not only hope of escaping the grip of error theory. Apart from normativity and metaethics, he takes an interest in metaphysics, including mainstream topics in the analytic tradition, and in comparative philosophy, with the hope that the native Chinese philosophical tradition receives the attention that it deserves in academia. His piecemeal thoughts have appeared in journals such as Australasian Journal of Philosophy, Synthese, and Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy.
