All under heaven. Zhao Tingyang and Markus Gabriel — a summit meeting
He is considered a pioneer of Chinese philosophy and is probably the most important Chinese philosopher of the present day. His work All Under Heaven. The Tianxia System for a Possible World Order has become a modern classic that also helps to understand China's current global political thinking. At the centre of Zhao Tingyang's reflections is the ancient Chinese principle of "tianxia", the inclusion of all under one heaven, which he interprets to encompass contemporary circumstances. Zhao Tingyang encounters Markus Gabriel, the epistemologist and founder of the New Realism school, who revolutionised philosophy in Germany with his "Why the World Doesn't Exist" (most recent work: Der Mensch als Tier). A conversation about China and the world, the state and the individual, universalism and New Realism - and a summit meeting of philosophy! Mod.: Daniel Leese
