19 20清华科史哲讲座第70讲预告:雷震,“Seeking News, Making China...”清华科史哲讲座第70讲预告:雷震,“Seeking News, Making China...”Time: 15:00 - 17:00
Seeking News, Making China: Reimagining Chinese History through Information Technology Over the last 20 years, developments in communications technology have overturned key aspects of foreign political systems and media landscapes. Yet this phenomenon is hardly new. Interlocking technological, informational, and political revolutions have occurred many times in the past. John Alekna traces one example, the history of news in twentieth-century China, to demonstrate how large structural changes in technology and politics are heard and felt. Indeed, scrutinizing the flow of news can reveal much about society and politics—illustrating who has power and why, and uncovering the connections between different regions, peoples, and social classes. Taking an innovative, holistic view of information practices, Alekna weaves together both rural and urban history to tell the story of the rise of mass society through the lens of communication techniques and technology, showing how a news revolution can fundamentally reorder political geography.
Alekna’s recent book thus explains the emergence of mass society—one theoretically capable of universal economic and political participation—through the dialectical interaction of information technologies and social practices. This is what it calls the “technopolitical process.” By looking at the development of this process we can trace a mass society which emerges outside of concepts like Party, State, Nation, Empire, or Consumerism. These things are possible expressions of a mass society, but none are the same as it. Furthermore, he argues that this process was driven to a substantial degree by the desire for news. In other words, a mass society does not emerge because of Darwinism and War (Tilley: State Makes War, War Makes State), nor economic pressures (as Marx argued), nor because of extractive impulses (Scott: Seeing like a State). Instead, the author offers a voluntarist interpretation of the emergence of mass-oriented social formations; a mass society emerged because people wanted the greater access to information that it offers.
Bio:
John Alekna is Assistant Professor of the History of Science at Peking University. His research focuses on information, technology, and the emergence of modernity in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Asia. He is currently working on a biography of a Qing period scientist-turned-explorer who led an 1879 expedition across the Himalayas into India. At Beida, he teaches the History & Philosophy of Science, the History of Science in China, and Information as Material, Theory, and Practice.

26清华科史哲讲座第71讲预告:程志翔,“生物学中的‘有效种群大小’:概念疑云、建模策略与非因果说明”清华科史哲讲座第71讲预告:程志翔,“生物学中的‘有效种群大小’:概念疑云、建模策略与非因果说明”Time: 15:00 - 17:00
“有效种群大小” (effective population size, EPS)是个有趣的概念(或概念群),但生物学哲学对其尚未有太多讨论。它由群体遗传学家发明,已有一个较长的概念发展演变史(自1930s至今),且在保护生物学等学科中有应用。但在群体遗传学之外,它又被广泛误解,甚至群体遗传学家们对它的定义、表述和理解也不统一甚至不一致。比如,有些学者对其采取的是一种我称之为 “一元主义的和动力学的”(monist-dynamical)理解,而另一些人则倾向于“多元主义的和运动学的”(pluralist-kinetic)理解。我会论证说,虽然EPS与“漂变”(drift or genetic drift)这一重要概念密切相关,但将其本质视为对漂变的效果或程度的把捉度量,这一理解是错误的。此外,EPS的相关计算或估算模型还例示了一种特殊的对自然种群的建模策略;这一建模策略滤除或严重扭曲了所要表征的目标自然种群中的因果信息。因而,EPS及其相关模型对于我们理解和分析“现代演化理论是否提供非因果的统计性的科学说明”这一既有哲学争论或也可提供一些新思路。 主讲人:
程志刚,2022年在加拿大多伦多大学科技哲学与科技史研究所(IHPST)获哲学博士学位,并获IHPST 学术成就奖。现任中国科学院哲学研究所博士后、特别研究助理,专长领域:生物学哲学、演化生物学史(尤其是演化生物学和群体遗传学相关的非因果科学说明问题以及“现代综合”前后生物学史)。

27清华科史哲讲座第72讲预告:蔡天新,“弗雷格,逻辑与真理”清华科史哲讲座第72讲预告:蔡天新,“弗雷格,逻辑与真理”Time: 16:00 - 18:00
讲座摘要:
哥廷根是德国数学圣地,拥有高斯、黎曼和以克莱因-希尔伯特为首的数学学派。属于这个传统的还有两位大哲学家——胡塞尔和弗雷格,他们都是哥廷根数学博士,前者是“现象学之父”,后者享有“现代逻辑之父”“分析哲学之父”的美誉,也是语言哲学的奠基人,影响了罗素、维特根斯坦等人。弗雷格区分了两种真理,一种以经验事实为依据,另一种纯粹来自逻辑,为此他引入了概念语言和为逻辑演算的函数。
主讲人简介:
蔡天新 浙江台州人,山东大学理学博士,浙江大学求是特聘教授、数学学院博导。他提出了形素数和加乘方程的概念,有关新华林问题研究被英国数学家、菲尔兹奖得主阿兰·贝克赞为“真正原创性的贡献”。著有文学、学术和普及著作40多部,外版著作20多部,其中英文版8部。《数学传奇》曾获国家科学技术奖;《数学简史》和《数学与艺术》获吴大猷科普著作原创图书佳作奖,“科学与人类文明”课程获国家教学成果奖。2015年、2022年和2024年,先后入选杭州10大创新人物、当当网第8届影响力作家和全国科普工作先进工作者,系中国社会科学院国际文化书院顾问、浙江省科技史学会和四川安岳秦九韶研究会名誉会长。
