Kitajska filozofija življenja, relacijska etika in pandemija COVID-19

Abstract

Članek raziskuje odnos med različnimi modeli etike in njihov možni vpliv na strategije reševanja krize. Ker je COVID-19 sprožil krizo globalnih razsežnosti, je treba rešitve iskati na globalni ravni in ne v ozki omejenosti posameznih nacionalnih držav. V tem kontekstu je pomemben premislek o vednosti in teoretskih modelih etike različnih kultur. Članek s perspektive tradicionalnih kitajskih filozofij, zlasti konfucijanske, oriše nekatera teoretska izhodišča za alternativne modele družbene etike. Med drugim je ta perspektiva pomembna zato, ker so na siniških območjih pandemijo doslej obvladali veliko hitreje in učinkoviteje kot v drugih regijah sveta. Članek najprej predstavi kitajsko filozofijo življenja in osvetli njen sedanji pomen; nato predstavi tradicionalne kitajske modele relacijskih in neesencialističnih konceptov jaza ter prouči njihov vpliv na konfucijanske modele družbene etike. Na osnovi tega osvetli nekatere nove načine razumevanja medosebnih in medkulturnih interakcij, ki bi nam lahko pomagale pri razvoju novih strategij soočanja s sedanjo in prihodnjimi pandemijami.

Secondary title:	Chinese philosophy of life, relational ethics and the COVID-19 pandemic
Secondary abstract:	This paper investigates the relation between different models of ethics and their impact upon crises solution strategies. Because COVID-19 is a global-scale crisis, it has to be solved on the global level. In this framework, it is important to consider knowledge and ethical theories from different cultures. The paper outlines some theoretical groundworks for alternative models of social ethics from the perspective of traditional Chinese, particularly Confucian, philosophies. Among other issues, this perspective is meaningful because in the Sinitic areas the pandemic has so far been brought under control much quicker and more effectively than in other regions of the world. First, the paper introduces the Chinese philosophy of life and highlights its current relevance; then, it presents traditional Chinese models of relational and anti-essentialist concepts of the self and investigates their impact to the Confucian models of social ethics. On this basis, it illuminates some new ways of understanding interpersonal and intercultural interactions that might help us develop new strategies against current and future pandemics.
