Among many promoters of this intellectual trend, Gan Yang, together with his slogan of the ＂fusion of three traditions,＂ is indeed most influential. This study employs Lacanian psychoanalytic technics to tackle Gan Yang＇s thesis, treating the latter not just an object for textual analysis, but more deeply （and fruitfully）, that for psychoanalysis. The findings of the study reveal the presence of a fantasmatic structure framing and guaranteeing Gan＇s （sharply inconsistent） vision of China＇s civilizational subjectivity. Such fantasmatic formation can be referred to as the ＂Great Dragon fantasy＂-a fantasy about China＇s civilizational unity and glory.展开更多

Territorial rational civilization with territorial worldview for ingroup and outgroup individuals produces territorial nationalist democracy based on rule of boundary to deal with ingroup and outgroup individuals. Discrete Western rational civilization with discrete worldview for discrete and independent individuals produces discrete liberty-equality democracy based on rule of law to deal with discrete individuals. Connective Eastern rational civilization with connective worldview for connective and related individuals produces connective common wellbeing democracy based on rule of relation to deal with connective individuals. The current highly international interdependence produces the purposed internationalized interdependent community which allows the interdependent coexistence of the three rational civilizations by establishing the promotion of rational civilizations, the basic rules of relation and law, the potential civilizational and the regional defense boundaries, and the cooperation in international relations. The mental origin of the rational civilization consists of the social brain for instinctive intragroup relations and worldviews to form the original human social group, the mental immune system for instinctive mental therapy, theory of imaginary mind for imaginary religious and political entities with their own minds to form cohesive large social groups, and the thinking brain for rule to form rational civilization.展开更多
