This dissertation seeks to define Chinese modernity on the epistemological ground of correlative mode of thinking, the questioning of the world in terms of transition and process. Taking Lu Xun, the most iconoclastic and prominent cultural figure of modern China, as the object of study, it follows two lines of investigation. First, in disclosing the direct interplay between the expansive force of life and the trans-formative power of culture that structures Lu Xun's entire production, I expose the condition of modernity he shares with his Western counterparts. Second, through an extensive comparison with various ontological discourses of life in modern Western thought, I demonstrate the correlative mode of thinking that underlies his affirmation, vitalization and inscription of the immanent flow of life force.

520 $a This dissertation seeks to define Chinese modernity on the epistemological ground of correlative mode of thinking, the questioning of the world in terms of transition and process. Taking Lu Xun, the most iconoclastic and prominent cultural figure of modern China, as the object of study, it follows two lines of investigation. First, in disclosing the direct interplay between the expansive force of life and the trans-formative power of culture that structures Lu Xun's entire production, I expose the condition of modernity he shares with his Western counterparts. Second, through an extensive comparison with various ontological discourses of life in modern Western thought, I demonstrate the correlative mode of thinking that underlies his affirmation, vitalization and inscription of the immanent flow of life force.
520 $a The first two chapters tackle the ethical constitution of Lu Xun's will to life. Chapter 1 uncovers a radical grounding of morality on the naturalistic plane of biological instinct, whereas Chapter 2 examines the modes of individuality and collectivity that Lu Xun envisions of life. In comparison to various modern Western theories of life that essentially seek the ontological affirmation of becoming and multiplicity, I demonstrate how Lu Xun attempts to re-vitalize the immanent flow of life force through a greater differentiation between the material and the spiritual, between individual entity and communal bonds. Chapter 3 elucidates a poetics of remembrance that, rather than taking literature as the symbolic representation of truth, establishes writing as the correlative interplay between presence and absence that inscribes the transitional existence of the historical present. It also delineates a vision of the efficacy of literature that exhilarates the political value of temporally charged aesthetic activity, not for its mediation between the sensible and the intelligible, but for its passive animation and expansion of vital energy. Chapter 4 inquires into a modern conception of the materiality of language. It reveals how, in his assertion of vernacular writing and "literal translation," Lu Xun conceives language not as the ontological externalization of the spirit, but as the immanent articulation of the world that both expresses and regulates the flux of life force.
