Ep 98 | Dr. Jerome Keating's Books: Mapping, Paradigm Shifts, and his Favorite Quotes

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   In part two of my conversation with Dr. Keating, we spoke about his other books on mapping and paradigm shifts.  Dr. Keating also shared some of his favorite quotes including the one that encapsulates why he writes about Taiwan. And he talked about meeting with Trigg Brown and Josh Ku the owners of the popular Taiwanese American restaurant Win Son, who I interviewed in episode 60. Since his book, Taiwan The Struggle Gains Focus features some great photos of him with several influential Taiwanese celebrities, politicians and individuals, I asked him to reflect on some of the most memorable individuals he's met.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Keating's books about Taiwan, that were written before Taiwan The Struggle Gains Focus How Taiwan The Struggle Gains Focus will probably be the last book Dr. Keating will write about Taiwan Keating's book about the mapping of Taiwan What maps can tell us about the mapmaker, trade, and economies The role that the Spice Islands played in bringing the West to Asia Dutch settlement of Anping, Taiwan Spanish occupation of Taiwan How the Portuguese named Taiwan "Ilha Formosa" Keating's book about paradigms, The Paradigmsthat Guide Our Lives and Drive Our Souls The three realms of paradigms: science, metaphysics/teleology, phenomenology Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Examples of paradigm shifts that have happened in the world of physics (science) What Dr. Keating plans to write about next Coronavirus and the paradigm shift that it has caused Keating's writing process and why he writes Keating's favorite quotes How the owners of the Taiwanese American restaurant Win Son (featured in episode 60), Trigg Brown and Josh Ku sought out Dr. Keating for his perspective on Taiwan's history Keating's thoughts on the late president Lee Teng-hui and on some of well-known politicians and personalities from Taiwan that he's met An African quote that sums up why Jerome writes about Taiwan Where you can buy Dr. Keating's books and learn more about him     Dr. Jerome Keating's website: http://www.jeromekeating.com/   Related Links:   Dr. Keating's book, The Mapping of Taiwan, Desired Economies, Coveted Geographies   Anping, Taiwan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anping_District     Dr. Keating's book, The Paradigms that Guide Our Lives and Drive Our Souls:   Thomas Kuhn (The American physicist and philosopher who introduced the term paradigm shift): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kuhn   https://www.britannica.com/biography/Thomas-S-Kuhn   Jonathan Edwards (Puritan Theologian): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Edwards_(theologian)   https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jonathan-Edwards   Ralph Waldo Emerson (Transcendentalist Essayist, Philosopher and Poet): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson   https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/emerson/   https://www.biography.com/writer/ralph-waldo-emerson   Alfred North Whitehead (Mathematician Philosopher, and notable figure in process philosophy):https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/whitehead/   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_North_Whitehead     The True Believer by Eric Hoffer: https://www.amazon.com/True-Believer-Thoughts-Movements-Perennial/dp/0060505915     Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs     Henry David Thoreau (Essayist, Philosopher and Poet):   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau   https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-David-Thoreau     Episode 60 of Talking Taiwan featuring Trigg Brown and Josh Ku of the Taiwanese American restaurant Win Son: https://www.talkingtaiwan.com/trigg-brown-josh-ku-win-son-taiwanese-restaurant-nyc/     Dr. Keating's piece written in memoriam, Lee Teng-Hui: https://taiwaninsight.org/2020/08/08/in-memoriam-lee-teng-hui/?fbclid=IwAR03XDnv4-SMpaWQMuLDlDGUCsmcQohq6aK8R0DWS1Cll8OvSnr1ZuX8gYc   Lee Teng-hui: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Teng-hui   Su Beng: http://aboutsubeng.com/   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su_Beng   Peng Ming-min: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peng_Ming-min   Taiwan Foreign Correspondents Club: https://taiwanfcc.org/       Taiwan The Struggle Gains Focus: http://www.smcbook.com.tw/smc/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=61651&search=Taiwan+The+Struggle+Gains+Focus     Taiwan, the Search for Identity     Taiwan, the Struggles of a Democracy       Island in the Stream http://www.smcbook.com.tw/smc/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=55&search=island+in+the+stream
