届时将有1200位来自南京社会各界人士 （企业家，公益组织负责人，白领，大学生代表）齐聚一堂，共同聆听各个讲者18分钟以内的智慧分享。

关于主题“Inspired by Emotions （感情用事）”
“在理性判断的统治下所有直接的东西都毁灭了，所有行动的力量和勇气都窒息在有限的反思中。到处都是理智：没有绝对的热恋，取而代之的是理性的婚姻；没有绝对的顺从，取而代之的是以理性判断为基础的顺从；没有冒险的行动，取而代之的是可能性，精明的计算；没有行动，取而代之的是事件。”——克尔凯郭尔。
我们生活在一个被绝对理性和严谨逻辑的阴霾所包围的时代。“齿轮，传送带，钟摆”，这一丝不苟的运作式样，从工业革命后，再一次成为当代中国的象征性图景。我们中的大多数，再次自觉或不自觉的被工具化，两点或三点一线间奔波，为各种务实的物化的目标而执着努力。而这种所谓“理性”的状态，则被我们奉为这个时代的主流与金科玉律。我们拒绝感情，拒绝理想，拒绝思考，拒绝差异，拒绝自由……

然而我们却忽略了这样的事实，那些最伟大的作品，最杰出的人物往往是因内心崇高的感情所驱动。TEDxNanjing 2012 “Inpsired by Emotions” 将目光转向人类最原始、最朴素、最真诚的“感情”，再次聚焦于那些“感情用事”的人们。因为他们的想法与实践照亮着这个时代。

“In the reign of rational judgement, all direct things are wracked, all incentives and courage are asphyxiated in limited introspection. No absolute love, only rational marriage. No absolute obedience, only obedience based on rational judgement. No risky move, only possible of canny calculation. No action, only events.”——Soren Aabye Kierkegaard

We are living in a society that is surrounded by the cloud of absolute rationality and precise logic. "Gear, conveyor belt, and pendulum" become the symbolic picture of modern China again after the Industrial Revolution. Most of us, again, consiously or unconsiously, are instrumentalised ——rushing between home and office or school, determined to fight for concrete matters and materialized goals, such as the educational degree, the appartment, and the car. This so called "rational" state is divinized as the mainstream and absolute rules in this age. We decline emotions, dream, thinking, diversity, and freedom...

While we neglect the very fact, those greatest masterpieces, those most brilliant people are usually inspired by sublime inner feelings.

TEDxNanjing 2012 "Inpsired by emotions" turns sight to the most original, simplest, and truest "emotions", and refocuses on those people "inspired by emotions", for their ideas and practices are enlightening this world.

The story of his life started with food. He once drove from south to north to try soup dumplings, from downtown to outskirt to taste bath chap, from Nanjing to Changshu to enjoy mutton. Then the story turned to another theme -- writing. He liked writing something after reading. Now, he thinks his story will continue with being a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. So far, he had cured his grandmother, some of his friends, and himself. Copying prescriptions over and over again made him witness patients’ recoveries. It brings him more joy than food and writing. The feeling is more durable and intense. So in order to share his feelings with more people, he organized ‘luobohui’. ’luobo’ means turnip. It can explain his propose of traditional Chinese medicine -- practice, featured with convenience, simply, cheapness and good effect.

YingChun Zhu

朱赢椿 书籍装帧设计师，书衣坊之主，他的《不裁》、《蚁呓》被评为“世界最美图书”。 “在这个物质盛行的年代，我们固执而孤决地选择了与书为伍的生活。身处南京，我们像南京一样宽容而自信。我们不贪图工作场所的奢华与人员规模的庞大，但执着于每一幅书页的精致与个性。士为知己者死，书为阅己者容。我们期待每一本书都美丽，每一位爱书人都遇知己。” 朱赢椿作为南京著名的书籍装帧设计师，其装帧的《不裁》、《蚁呓》曾于2007、2008年相继被评为“世界最美的图书”，年轻的他声名早已跨出亚洲，速度可谓之快。尽管如此，朱赢椿本人却有着慢而静的生活与心灵，喜欢东方特质的、带着浓浓禅意的、“温文尔雅”的书。他不喜欢“设计”这个词的字面意思，或许因为这两个字带给人一种强迫、刻意之感，而那些好的设计往往是内心自然的呈现和流露。 Zhu Yingchun is a world-renowned book designer and bookbinder who runs his own design studio in Nanjing. Two of the books he designed, Stitching Up and Ant, were numbered among the “most beautiful books in the world” by UNESCO and the Book Art Foundation in Leipzig, Germany. By combining the best of Chinese traditional bookbinding with innovative methods of printing and design, he has “given Chinese book design its own unique vocabulary.” His fame already went beyond Asia at an early age and at an unprecedented pace. Even so, he still lives a slow life and enjoys the peace of mind. He loves refined and cultured books with oriental characteristics and strong conception of Zen. He hates the literal meaning of “design”, possibly because he believes that, in most cases, those good designs are natural display and overflow of people’s inner feelings, but the word of “design” brings the feelings of compulsion and deliberation.
