Personal Profile:
Mr. Lan-Shek Chang has been offering interdisciplinary courses at the university level for more than ten years, having switched from science and engineering to humanities and social sciences, and having devoted himself to philosophical reflection on social sciences (anthropology, psychology, and sociology). In science and engineering, he was inspired by his personal characteristics, family expectations, and contemporary background; in humanities and social sciences, he was inspired by several instructors. He grew up in an alienated environment, with poor language skills, which resulted in a lack of subjective learning motivation and a unique need for understanding. With shipbuilding engineering as his first ambition, he had the motivation of poetry and dreams, but he still went with the flow. After college, he was enlightened by several instructors, and his self-nature was gradually revealed, and he knew how to doubt and criticize, and finally embarked on a revolutionary local social science movement. Mr. Lan Shi incorporated the genes of mathematics and science into the construction of psychological models. Finally, he wrote a masterpiece, “The Application of Four Sentences: A Multi-Oriented Approach to the Study of Mental Phenomena,” which was published in the Journal of Local Psychology, and which offered a critical reflection and critique of the positivist paradigm of natural science.
