loss-of-cosmos

The 'Preamble' of Yuk Hui's 'The Question Concerning Technology in China' sets the stage for a philosophical inquiry into the relationship between technology and cosmology, particularly within the Chinese context. It invokes reflections on the loss of the cosmos in modernity, referencing thinkers like D.H. Lawrence and Martin Heidegger, and hints at the political and cultural conditions under which China might become 'free' for technology. The preamble also situates the work within a broader intellectual and institutional framework, acknowledging its publication context and support.
