This essay aims at an elucidation of the performative relation connecting artistic mimesis with the living body. Encompassing art theory and phenomenology of the body, the scope is to evince a crucial link between aesthetic interpretation, body motion, and mimetic creativity, with general implications for reflection on the body, as well as a deeper understanding of a major element of ancient Chinese culture. By mainly analyzing Chinese texts on ink brush writing, as well as some testimony taken from 20th century (...) European philosophy, this essay, from a transcultural stance, tries to show how ink brush writing may be interpreted as a type of regulated body movement and body exercise. What appears as responsiveness within this phenomenal field is a specific form of mimesis, namely body mimesis. As a sort of imitative action, body mimesis runs through the bodily self, beyond consciousness, transforming it and shaping its behavior. (shrink)

關懷當代跨文化思維的處境與潛力 對華語界的哲學思維進行批判省思 繼而開拓嶄新的思索途徑 為了盡量具體揭露跨文化思維的立場和思考模式，《漢學與跨文化思維》落實在中文字獨有的視像性以及與《莊子》、王陽明、海德格、列維納斯等研究對象相關的跨領域、跨科系之探討。 宋灝以身體現象學為基本視角與綱領，探究這些哲學資源的啟發。藉由融合詮釋學與現象學的方法，揭示「身體自我」在人的存在上標記著多麼關鍵、豐富的情境，以便為了當代身體觀的轉化必要作辯解，並且具體彰顯這種轉化 的可能性與意義。 全書分為三部，第一部反映宋灝從隸屬漢學對中國古代傳承的關懷，逐漸過渡到哲學與跨文化思維的立場，試圖以宋明理學與華嚴佛教為例，藉中國的文獻逆向來擴充歐洲的詮釋學思想，尤其是高達美式哲學詮釋學。第二部收入 作者近幾年對漢學與跨文化思維的方法和處境所進行的批判和反思。第三部是在此方法論架構下，採取現象學及當代歐洲思維為出發點，探討中國古代傳承的啟發。.

This paper deals with a paradoxon inherent to the concept of “reification”, commonly used with negative connotations only, as seen from the stance of phenomenological aesthetics. A positive understanding of the term is proposed in this pleading for a re-evaluation of our notion of a “thing” and its significance for the human access to the world. After an inquiry into Adorno’s ambiguous reflections on reification by creating art works, and reification of art itself, a discussion of the Japanese garden yields (...) further elucidation concerning phenomena of artistic reification, as well as the ontological status of natural things.

Wie ist die geheimnisvolle Schönheit japanischer Gärten zu erklären? Aus dem sinnhaft-sinnlichen Erleben heraus erschließt dieses Buch eine Reihe wichtiger Phänomene, denen wir in japanischen Gärten begegnen. Im Zuge der phänomenologischen Betrachtung erhalten Leitideen wie Horizont, Affektion, Stimmung, Responsivität und Zeitlichkeit schärfere Konturen. Vor diesem Hintergrund vermag an den Erscheinungsdingen eine eigentümliche Fremdheit zutage zu treten, die uns ein erneuertes, von Achtung geprägtes Verhältnis zu unserer Umwelt ermöglicht.
