On the morning of November 30, 2018, Professor Alexander N. Chumakov, First Vice-President of the Russian Philosophical Society and Editor-in-Chief of the Russian Philosophical Association Newsletter, visited the “Philosopher's Table” and brought us a wonderful academic report: “Global Research of Modern Scientific System: Aspects of History and Philosophy” at the High-Level Academic Conference Center on the fifth floor of the Liberal Arts Building of Jiulonghu Campus. The lecture was chaired by Professor Xia Baohua, Director of the Department of Philosophy and Science. Teachers of the Department of Philosophy and Science, Dai Zhengnong, Liu Min, Wang Yongzhong, Wu Xiaoxi and some postgraduates of the Department of Philosophy and Science attended the lecture.
Professor Chumakov first introduced his representative theoretical works in the field of globalization research. Then Professor Chumakov emphatically introduced the history, current situation and development trend of “globalization research” from the following aspects: the background of globalization research, the views and explanations, the focus and the objective basis. Professor Chumakov believed that in the current era of great industrialization, “globalization research” can be regarded as a scientific, philosophical and overall solution to the current world's problems such as environmental pollution, resource depletion, cultural conflicts and other important means.
During the discussion, teachers and students of the Department of Philosophy and Science made a thorough discussion with Professor Chumakov on the issues of globalization research and the subject construction of “globalization specialty”. At the end of the lecture, Professor Chumakov presented two academic monographs to the library of School of Humanities. Professor Xia Baohua thanked Professor Chumakov and conveyed Professor Fan Heping's greetings. He hoped that he could cooperate and communicate with Professor Chumakov for a long time in the course of opening the “globalization research” specialty in the future.
