Huang Kaifeng, Director of the Institute of Philosophy at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and a research fellow, wrote in the June 11, 2026 issue of *Social Sciences Weekly* (Page 3) that the current information technology revolution is advancing rapidly, with frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biotechnology poised to have a transformative impact on existing human cognition. Building an independent knowledge system for Chinese philosophy, he argues, requires us to engage with a range of new concepts and questions — including "embodied cognition," "intersubjectivity," "algorithmic ethics," and "value alignment" — while also reassessing the risks and challenges these developments pose to fundamental philosophical principles such as worldview, epistemology, and ethics. The new mission we must confront is how to advance the construction of China's independent philosophical knowledge system in a way that both draws on the achievements of the information civilization and preserves philosophy's role as a form of human self-understanding and self-affirmation.
