Chinese Philosophy: A Selective and Analytic Approach by George Sun Pdf
“Joe was very much at home both in contemporary logical theory and in American philosophy.... The readers of the present volume ... will find the clarity of expression and the rich understanding of the background literature, history, and concepts of the tradition he addresses to be an important access to and perspective on Chinese philosophy.” ---- Elizabeth R. Eames, Professor (Emeritus), formerly Director of the Graduate Institute of Philosophy, SIUC “Professor Wu provided ... deft comparisons between Chinese and Amero-Eurocentric philosophies, ... [and] challenges us to revisit and rethink our unexamined assumptions about reality, knowledge, value and the very enterprise of philosophy itself. ... As a traditionally trained junzi, Professor Wu’s impressive range of expertie ranged from the Confucian classics to philology, poetry and calligraphy, certainly qualifying him for the designation of a Sinological renaissance man. Few of today’s scholars are able to draw on such rich resources in their exploration of Chinese philosophy, which undoubtedly contributed to Professor Wu’s sage proposal for “Philosophy as the Art of Making Sense.” ---- Sandra A. Wawrytko, Associate Professor, San Diego State University, CA. “Indeed, the pocket edition de luxe of Chinese philosophy revisited in a new light, the best invitation to the field long over-due! Deceptively lucid, simple and clear; yet witty and provocative throughout. Every output from Joe Wu’s pen is, in one word, EXQUISITE! Bear in mind the essence of Chinese mentality: depth, breadth, simplicity and, above all, delicacy. (Ku Hung-ming) The author is capable of “expressing with clearness [not only] what he thought with vigor” (Maugham) but, more significantly, what he felt with delicacy. The readers, though appreciative of such a feat of brevity and lucidity, may feel as we do, wishing that Joe have more to enlighten us with, but for his premature passing in 2006! ---- Suncrates, Editor-in-Chief, Comprehensive Harmony About the Author: Joseph S. Wu, Professor (Emeritus) of California State University at Sacramento, CA., USA, was awarded a Certificate of Merit for Distinguished Service in Comparative Philosophy and Culture, by the Board of Dictionary of International Biography of London (1971).

Body Knowledge: A Path to Wholeness by David W. Long, Ph.D. Pdf
Body Knowledge: A Path to Wholeness provides a critical exposition of the philosophy of Michael Polanyi, a twentieth century Hungarian scientist and philosopher. Professor Long focuses on Polanyi’s controversial multi-disciplinary work that charts a new vision of knowledge, the knower, knowledge seekers, and the philosophical foundations of science. Long integrates Polanyi’s work into contemporary philosophical and scientific discussions about consciousness, knowledge, and the role of the knower-as-person. Polanyi’s pioneering work restores the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit.

Rethinking Philosophers' Responsibility by Lydia Amir Pdf
Calling on philosophers as the custodians of rationality to reconsider their responsibility toward their communities and the state of civilization at large, this book considers philosophy to be a practical discipline. Largely foreign to philosophers and non-philosophers alike, this conception of philosophy discloses the relevance of its unique contributions to contemporary society. The book offers a compelling and accessible analysis of philosophy also in relation to religion, psychology, the New Age Movement, and globalization, and exemplifies through a wide range of current problems how philosophers can fulfil their responsibility. Its argument that responsibility lies where one is capable of doing what is needed, and even more so, when no one else can do it, targets philosophers. However, its innovative study of contemporary philosophy coupled with its original contributions to the problems at hand will engage academics and students from other disciplines, as well as a general readership.

Comparative Approaches to Chinese Philosophy by Bo Mou Pdf
This anthology explores how Chinese and Western philosophies could jointly and constructively contribute to a common philosophical enterprise. Philosophers with in-depth knowledge of both traditions present a variety of distinct comparative approaches, offering a refined introduction to the further reaches of Chinese philosophy in the comparative context, especially regarding its three major constituents - Confucianism, philosophical Daoism, and the Yi-Jing philosophy. This book examines various issues concerning philosophical methodology, ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and logic, and investigates both the living-spring source of Chinese philosophy and its contemporary implications and development through contemporary resources. The balanced coverage, accessible content, and breadth of approaches presented in this anthology make it a valuable resource for students of Chinese Philosophy, Comparative Philosophy, and other related courses.

Language and Logic in Ancient China by Chad Hansen Pdf
Guided by 20th century theories of language, Hansen's novel approach to interpretive theory launched the modern analytical study of Ancient Chinese philosophy. This 1983 publication challenged authority-based traditional "religious" accounts stemming from 18th and 19th century missionary dictionaries and reliance on interpretive authority. "Hansen shows that one tiny grammatical question... has profound implications for the understanding of Chinese philosophy. ...This is surely a decisive breakthrough ... a great success. His observations about Chinese thought in general are always stimulating and illuminating. A book which excites one to rethink things from the foundations." A. C. Graham "An ambitious and provocative book concerning the relationship between language and thought in ancient China. ... a novel and powerful theory about the nature of classical Chinese language ... a better understanding of many issues in classical Chinese philosophy." P. J. Ivanhoe "[The] importance of this book lies ... in its engaging style, novel ideas, and rigorous argumentation, which can serve as a model for future work in Chinese philosophy. Hansen takes Chinese philosophy seriously as philosophy. For anyone tired of the superficial summaries or scholastic commentaries that so often characterize this field, Hansen's book will be a memorable and welcome change." Michael Martin

Selected Works of D.T. Suzuki, Volume III by Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki Pdf
Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki was a key figure in the introduction of Buddhism to the non-Asian world. Many outside Japan encountered Buddhism for the first time through his writings and teaching, and for nearly a century his work and legacy have contributed to the ongoing religious and cultural interchange between Japan and the rest of the world, particularly the United States and Europe. This third volume of Selected Works of D. T. Suzuki brings together a diverse collection of Suzuki’s letters, essays, and lectures about non-Buddhist religions and his thoughts on their relation to Buddhism, as well as his reflections on the nature of religion itself. Some of these writings have been translated into English for the first time in this volume. As a long-term resident of the United States, a world traveler, and a voracious consumer of information about all forms of religion, Suzuki was one of the foremost Japanese mediators of Eastern and Western religious cultures for nearly seven decades. An introduction by Jeff Wilson and Tomoe Moriya analyzes Suzuki’s frequent encounters with texts and practitioners of many religions, considers how events in Suzuki’s lifetime affected his interpretations of Christianity, Shinto, and other traditions, and demonstrates that his legacy as a scholar extends well beyond Buddhism.

Ernest Sosa Encountering Chinese Philosophy by Yong Huang Pdf
A major figure in the Anglo-American analytic tradition, Ernest Sosa is a pioneer of contemporary virtue epistemology. Engaging with his important work for the first time, a team of renowned scholars of Chinese philosophy bring Western analytic epistemology into dialogue with themes and issues in the history of the Chinese tradition in order to reveal multiple points of connection. Drawing on thinkers and texts from Confucianism, Daoism, and Chinese Buddhism, chapters explore issues central to virtue epistemology, such as the reliabilist and responsibilist divide, the distinction between virtues constitutive of knowledge and virtues auxiliary to knowledge, epistemic competence, and the role of testimony. Including Sosa's constructive and systematic responses to each scholar's interpretation of his work, this volume demonstrates the value of cross-cultural dialogue, advancing the field of virtue epistemology, and paving the way for further engagement between philosophical traditions.

Language and Value by Yi Jiang,ERnest Lepore Pdf
This volume represents the first substantial collaborative work from Chinese and Western scholars on philosophy of language. We believe that recent developments in the Anglo-American philosophy and Chinese philosophy of language not only suggest a tableau of shared problems, but also a number of similar methods and goals. It is the goal of this volume to juxtapose these recent philosophical developments to illustrate the similarities between the traditions, but also to spur common dialogue and hopefully efforts to jointly engage shared philosophical problems. The issues engaged range from the role of cultural and biological factors in linguistic competence and language use, to figurative speech in different languages, the comparative study of work in semantics and philosophy, and the role of language in establishing the legal and ethical norms and values.

The Gongsun Longzi and Other Neglected Texts by Rafael Suter,Lisa Indraccolo,Wolfgang Behr Pdf
The Gongsun Longzi is often considered the only extant work of the Classical Chinese “School of Names”, an early intellectual tradition (trad. dated to the 4th cent. B.C.) mainly concerned with logic and the philosophy of language. The Gongsun Longzi is a heterogeneous collection of five chapters that include short treatises and largely fictive dialogues between an anonymous persuader and his opponent, which typically revolve around a paradoxical claim. Its value as a testimony to Early Chinese philosophy, however, is somewhat controversial due to the intricate textual history of the text and our limited knowledge about its intellectual backgrounds. This volume gathers contributions by leading specialists in the fields of Classical Chinese philosophy, philology, logic, and linguistics. Besides an overview of the scholarly literature on the topic and a detailed account of the reception of the text throughout time, it presents fresh insights into philological and philosophical problems raised by the Gongsun Longzi and other closely-related texts equally attributed to the “School of Names”.
