Post-Europe
Пост-Европа
Drawing on the concept of "post-Europe" proposed by the Czech phenomenologist Jan Patočka—who first suggested that Europe ceased to be a central, formative force after World War II—Hong Kong philosopher Yuk Hui addresses the issue of "overcoming modernity," a theme around which the Kyoto School formed in Japan a century ago. Thinkers such as Nishida Kitarō, Nishitani Keiji, and the New Confucian Mou Zongsan did not reject Western philosophy; rather, they sought new avenues of thought amidst the crisis engulfing Europe. Moving beyond the dream of an impossible resolution to the Heideggerian *Heimatlosigkeit* (homelessness), "Post-Europe" outlines a mode of thinking that, having recognized its own "rootlessness," strives to attain a new form—not by neutralizing differences, but through an individuation aimed at overcoming the oppositions between *logos* and *technē*, East and West, and home and homelessness.
