Chunjie Zhang – 2024

The French philosopher Catherine Malabou's discussion of neuroplasticity reveals the brain's ability to form connections, make changes, and repair damages. These functions, construing the brain's historicity as a biological process, also qualify plasticity as mediation between different forms of life. Plasticity thus also offers resistance against socioeconomic reification and capitalist exploitation. Malabou's neurophilosophy envisions a biological globalism that empowers everyone with the potential to change individual lives and society. In this Spark, Chunjie Zhang draws on her neurophilosophy to understand the discussion of spirituality and Asian philosophy in German modernism.
