About this topic
Summary Chinese philosophy is built on the metaphysical assumption that qi (traditionally translated as “material force” or “vital energy”) pervades the Universe and all things are composed of qi. This ontology leads to a conception of the world as an organic whole, in which everything is interconnected – from nature to the human world, from inorganic objects to sensible things. Chinese philosophers had a purely this-worldly concern; their goal was to improve on the world given. Originated in the primitive form of nature worship, ancient Chinese developed a sense of admiration and affection towards the natural world around them. This religious spirit prompted a philosophical pursuit of the order of the universe and the ontological foundation for all existence. Ancient Chinese thinkers had an intense desire to find the best way to make the right political decisions, to alleviate social problems, and to properly conduct themselves. Sociopolitical philosophy and ethics are thus the two core areas in Chinese philosophy. At the same time, since social structure, political polity and human conduct should all cohere with the cosmic order, Chinese philosophy is fundamentally rooted in its cosmology. This cosmology is manifested mostly in the philosophy of the Yijing. Chinese cosmology is built on the belief that there is a cosmic order or cosmic pattern, which serves not only as the source for all existence, but also as the governing rule for all cosmic developments. This pattern was commonly referred to as ‘Dao’ by ancient philosophers. The pursuit ofDao would become an ultimate goal shared by all Chinese philosophers. Under the holistic cosmic picture, the cosmic order also governs human affairs. Consequently, Dao takes on a normative connotation: it signifies the right way for human affairs and the normative principle for human conduct. In this sense, Daostands for the highest moral precept for human beings. There are three main branches in Chinese philosophy – Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism. Each school has its distinct answer to the quest of ultimate reality and the roles humans should play in this world. To educate others what constitutes virtue and to inspire others to act in accordance with Dao, was thus the self-assigned mission for most Chinese philosophers.
Key works The first systematic introduction to Chinese philosophy is the two-volume set Fung Yu-lan 1997, first published in the 1930s. This book is arguably the most influential introduction to the history of Chinese philosophy, even though some of Fung’s analyses are often contested by contemporary Chinese scholars. The two-volume set has been translated into English by Derk Bodde (Feng & Bodde 1952). A condensed and more accessible version of Fung’s History is also translated by Derk Bodde (Feng 1948). Among Chinese scholars, Lao 2005’s thee-volume (in four books) set is widely respected and frequently consulted. A more recent and analytic introduction to Chinese philosophy is Liu 2006. This book does not cover the history of Chinese philosophy beyond Chinese Buddhism, however. Mou 2009 has a more comprehensive coverage of all eras in the history of Chinese philosophy, but at the cost of sacrificing philosophical details. For readers who cannot read primary Chinese texts, Chan 1963 is a good source of representative selections of Chinese philosophical works.
Introductions

Chan 1963 provides a comprehensive coverage and fairly representative selections of all major philosophers or philosophical schools in Chinese history. The editor provides succinct introductions for each selection. It is a must-have sourcebook for scholars who can read only English, even though the old-fashioned Wade-Giles spelling of Chinese names in this book could create confusion for beginners.  

Feng & Bodde 1952 provides a comprehensive coverage of various schools in the history of Chinese philosophy. At times, the introduction is packed with quotes, with little analysis. It is nonetheless an authoritative introduction to this date.

Feng 1948 is not just an abridgment of Feng & Bodde 1952. Fung wrote this short history with the aim to give a complete picture of Chinese philosophical history in a nutshell. This book is far more accessible and interesting than Feng & Bodde 1952. Originally published in New York: Macmillan, 1948.

Lao Ssu-Kwang勞思光, Xinbian Zhongguo Zhexue Shi新編中國哲學史. 3 volumes. Guangxi, China: Guanxi shifandaxue chubanshe, 2005.

There is no English translation of this three-volume set. This is a revised version of Lao’s famed History of Chinese Philosophy (Zhongguo zhexue shi 中國哲學史), originally published in Hong Kong: Youlian chubanshe, 1968. Lao’s History provides detailed logical analysis of the philosophical problems and theories of all the schools covered in this book. It is widely referred to by Chinese scholars.

Liu 2006 provides an up-to-date introduction to Chinese philosophy in the analytic style. In its analysis of primary texts, it also reflects topics and discourses on Chinese philosophy in contemporary scholarship in English. The scope of this book covers classical philosophical schools and four major schools in Chinese Buddhism.

  1. The effects of civility knowledge and Taoist values on tourist behavioral intentions based on an extended theory of planned behavior.Wei Zheng, Hongliang Qiu & Alastair Morrison - unknown
    Tourist civility is attracting growing attention from practitioners and scholars. However, the research on the effects of knowledge of civility and Taoist values on tourist civilized behavioral intentions (TCI) is incomplete. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), an expanded and integrated framework was developed to explore TCI with data from 358 domestic tourists in China. Structural equation modeling was adopted and mediation and moderation models were tested through the bootstrapping approach. The findings suggested that attitudes, subjective norms, perceived (...)

    The Dialogues of Confucius (Kongzi Jia Yu 孔子家語) is an unexplored resource for the philosophy of Confucius. In this article, I make a first attempt at mining its riches. Focusing on Chapters 21 and 32, I reconstruct a multilevel theory of governing that is a cyclic process proceeding from the moral psychology of the individual to social organization, to the society as grounded in natural processes, and to the metaphysics of the natural processes themselves, thus adumbrating a metaphysics of morals (...)

    This paper focuses on learning that takes place outside formal classrooms within groups or teams. Based on the conceptual framework of informal learning, adult learning and lifelong learning, it investigates how two contrasting groups of adult learners in Vietnam, Mekong doctors and Hanoi hairdressers, learn, interact, and collaborate through their informal learning experiences in the workplace. These are two ‘co-present groups’ or two ‘complex systems’. For Vietnamese learners, the challenges of Confucian heritage culture, or the lack of awareness of cultural (...)

    This article engages the views of PRC Confucian scholars who responded to the United States Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's citing of Confucius in his majority opinion on same-sex marriage in 2015. It questions their separation of tolerance for homosexuality from legalization of same-sex marriage and argue that tolerance is not enough. The arguments in the mainland Confucian discourse about same-sex marriage highlights the historical and persistent entanglement of Confucianism with patriarchy. Instead of reviving traditional patriarchal society, further entrenching and (...)

    ◎孔子為何周遊列國?因為沒有一個國君想用儒家治國,他只好到處教書遊說。 ◎秦國用法家統一天下,漢高祖劉邦用道家蓄積國力,直到漢武帝登基,儒家才被注意。 ◎儒學為何從沒人理,轉眼變治國工具?這得從董仲舒的「解釋」說起。 ◎儒學就像作業系統,幾千年來更新過四次版本,孔子的儒學不等於現在的儒學。 作者馬大勇,清華大學、上海交通大學國學特聘教授。 曾被推舉為最受歡迎的中文教授。 在本書中,他將儒家文明分為五個時期: 孔子奠基期、孟子成熟期、兩漢經學期、宋代理學期和明代心學期。 解析儒家思維是如何像電腦作業系統一樣,歷經四次的版本更新, 從原本的中庸之道、民為貴、君為輕的民主思想, 一步步變成君權神授,天人感應, 成為各朝代帝王穩固皇權的最佳推手。 就此儒學變成帝王學,開啟了千年以來人民為皇權奴隸的中央集權體制。 ◎孔子的儒學,是教你如何當君子 《論語》中,仁字出現了104次,禮字出現74次, 孔子的重要理念「中庸之道」,更成為宋元以後科舉考試的必讀書。 這個具有人道主義的思維,為何不被當時的統治者如春秋諸侯或秦國採納? 因為亂世中,做君子的好處太少,當小人能得到的利益比較多。 ◎孟子是民主思想的啟蒙者,但被後代皇帝刪掉了 孟子思想的最大亮點就是「民為貴,社稷次之,君為輕」, 這套民主思維後來為何會消失? 因為明太祖朱元璋看到「君為輕」三個字,就把《孟子》一書狠狠摔地上, 刪節版《孟子》就此誕生,往後一百年,學生學到的孔孟儒學知識都是不完整的。 ◎因為董仲舒的「特殊解釋」,從此百家遭罷黜,皇帝獨尊儒術 秦國用法家思想滅六國一統天下,漢高祖劉邦用道家治國,修生養息, 兩大皇權都對儒家思維沒興趣,直到漢武帝劉徹時期, 董仲舒為了拍皇帝馬屁,重新解釋,儒術從此轉化帝王術。 他口中的儒教,跟孔孟闡述的儒學,哪裡不一樣?差在造神。 ◎宋元明清重新詮釋儒學,想當官者必讀四書 宋、元之後,孔子的《中庸》又重新被提起, 因為它教你用大學之道維持國家秩序。 儒學家朱熹更讓《四書集注》成為為官者的必讀聖書。 至於為什麼是宋朝與明朝,跳過了大唐盛世? 因為東漢黨錮之禍殺害許多知識分子,儒家文化走向低谷; 南北朝興盛佛教;至於唐朝則儒、釋、道並重。 直到韓愈寫的《原道》為儒家文明打下基礎,在宋代發揚光大。 打天下靠武力,龍椅要坐穩就靠統治, 儒家思想如何經過五階段改造,從民主思維變中央集權, 而且延續千年「至今」不墜。 本書特色 儒學為何從沒人理,轉眼變治國工具?這得從董仲舒的「解釋」說起。 孔子的儒學,如何經過五階段改造,從民主思維變中央集權。 名人推薦 淡江大學中文系教授/高柏園.

    如果孔孟生活在我們的時代, 他們對21世紀的重大問題與挑戰,會提出什麼看法? 孔孟對變動劇烈恍如漩渦的21世紀, 特別是處於新冠病毒肆虐的現代人, 會以何種倡議,讓人的「自我」能夠安身立命, 在黯兮慘悴中仍能持守「不動心」的境界? 孔孟思想是中華文化的主流思想,也是我們現代人從事各種思考,包括政治、社會、經濟、文化、個人生命等面向的重要文化資源。中國與亞洲的崛起,對世界局勢影響深遠,是本世紀最重要的劃時代事件之一,孔孟思想也重新 獲得世界各國知識界的重視。歐美學界都在爭取儒學的發言權,儼然已成為國際學術界的新趨勢。 《深叩孔孟》並不是傳統的、以背誦為主的經典研讀;而是從21世紀出發為思考,與孔孟進行心靈的對話,厚植我們在現世參與文明對話的本土思想資源。 本書是黃俊傑教授在臺灣大學講授「深叩孔孟」通識課程的講稿,一共分為十二講,每講均附閱讀作業、延伸閱讀、思考問題、關鍵詞、本講內容架構圖,方便讀者自學參考。.

    This book argues that Western studies of East-Asian politics are generally flawed due to their adherence to the premise that liberal democracy is the best form of governance. The book rejects the three main schools of the Western interpretation of Oriental politics and instead examines the border-transcending powers of Confucianism that have, over more than twenty-two centuries, transformed the politics of East Asia. By circumventing the fundamental methodical and ethical assumptions of the Anglophone hegemonic discourse on the politics of the (...)

Margus Ott also develops far-reaching possibilities of an embodied philosophy. The embodied understanding did not go unchallenged in Ancient China. There were important counter-currents, most notably the Mohists and the so-called Legalists. By using embodiment theory Ott demonstrates how these ideas can be seen as a decontextualizing tendency of (...)

  48. Matteo Ricci's teaching on the goodness of human nature: its Thomistic and neo‐Confucian sources.Yilun Cai - 2024 - Heythrop Journal 65 (2):138-151.
    The Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci's teaching on the goodness of human nature in The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven represents the fruit of the first encounter between Catholicism and Confucianism.

  50. Mengzian Sensitivity to Social Roles.Gina Lebkuecher - forthcoming - Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy:1-32.
    Classical Confucian philosopher Mengzi 孟子 offers resources that can help shed light on the metaphysical status of moral qualities and answer the question of how we come to perceive them. I argue that Mengzi puts forward an account of virtue as sensitivity similar to that offered by John McDowell. Both thinkers endorse a particular kind of motivationally internalist naturalistic moral realism, and both explain virtue as analogous to perception of secondary qualities. I offer an original contribution to existing literature by (...)
