    Blue Cliff Record, Art of Living and Its Reception in Germany.Teng He - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (2):155-167.
    In the encounter between the Western and Eastern Cultures in the 20th century, the Chinese Buddhist classic Blue Cliff Record (Biyanlu 《碧巖錄》) was widely translated in Europe, especially in Germany. In the first part, this paper introduces the various German translations as well as their translators’ evaluations and discussions of the book and Chan Buddhism. In the second part, this paper argues that Blue Cliff Record represents a dynamic ontology by interpreting the Highest Meaning. In the third part, this paper (...)

    Poetry as Philosophy in Song-Dynasty Chan Buddhist Discourse.Steven Heine - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (2):168-181.
    This paper examines ways leading Song-dynasty Chan teachers, especially Cishou Huaishen 慈受懷深 (1077–1132), a prominent poet-monk (shiseng 詩僧) and temple abbot from the Yunmen lineage, transform the intricate rhetorical techniques of Chinese poetry in order to explicate the relationship between an experience of spiritual realization beyond language and logic and the ethical decision-making of everyday life that is inspired by transcendent principles. Huaishen’s poetry expresses didactic Buddhist doctrines showing how an awareness of nonduality and the surpassing of all conceptual boundaries (...)

    Emptying the Mind: Nothingness in Mahāyāna Buddhism and in the Chan Tradition.Markus Wirtz - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (2):141-154.
    After an introductory overview of the treatment of nothingness in Western philosophy, nothingness is addressed from the perspectives of important doctrines of Mahāyāna Buddhism, espcially the ontological concept of dependent origination (pratītya-samutpāda; yuanqi 緣起) in its interpretation by Nāgārjuna as emptiness (śūnyatā; kong 空) and the five manifestations of nothingness in the saṃbhogakāya (baoshen 報身) aspect of the trikāya (sanshen 三身). In the Chan Buddhist tradition, these crucial elements of Mahāyāna teaching have been reinterpreted as meditative tools for emptying the (...)

    Embodied Mind and Embodied Knowing – Xin 心 and Zhi 知 in the Book of Mencius.Xinzhong Yao - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (2):183-195.
    The heart-mind (xin 心) in Mencius is not merely a rational faculty but a complex that contains such physical, psychological, physiological and spiritual concretes as reason, sentiment, feeling, experience and belief knowing, the study of which in the contemporary world would involve a number of modern disciplines including epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, ethics and education. In the context of Mencius, the mind is already embodied at birth and continues to function as the integration of intellectual and practical, physical and spiritual, and (...)

    The Concept of Guarding the One from the Zhuangzi 《莊子》 to Early Chan Buddhism.Wen Zhao - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (2):126-140.
    This paper traces the conception of “guarding the One” (shou yi 守一), an equivalent to “one-practice samādhi” from the East Mountain Teaching (dong shan fa men 東山法門) in early Chan Buddhism, back to the Zhuangzi《莊子》. “Guarding the One” and “nurturing the shen” (yang shen 養神) appear frequently in the context of Daoist spiritual training for longevity. In early medieval Chinese Buddhism, with the influence of the discourse of Daoist spiritual training and the karma theory from India, the concept of shen (...)

    Heart and Beyond: Following Emotion Farther Out.Edward S. Casey - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):81-92.
    Urgent times such as ours call for a reexamination of human emotional life, a life we tend to take for granted in calmer times. Philosophy, and phenomenology in particular, should have something to say about our emotional bearings or their lack in this dürftiger Zeit, a time of collective crisis and personal desperation. My hope is that a careful assessment of emotion will be of value to those of us living through what Hannah Arendt called “dark times.” As a phenomenologist, (...)

    Globalization as a Catalyst for the Development and Decline of Empires.Alexander N. Chumakov - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):93-103.
    The author analyzes the problem of social progress in the context of the historical stages of development: savagery – barbarism – civilization. I show how, under the influence of the Great Geographical Discoveries, the variety of continental empires was replenished with maritime (colonial) empires. Globalization has given them a powerful impetus for their development. Then, from the XX century, empires ceased to meet the requirements of the changed times. The empire, as a form of organization of social life, turned out (...)

    What’s Wrong with Toleration? The Zhuangzian Respect as an Alternative.Yong Huang - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):28-43.
    Toleration has been almost universally regarded as an indispensable virtue one ought to have when encountering people of races, religions, languages, cultures, genders, and sexual orientations different from one’s own. This is unfortunate, however, because toleration includes objection as one of its necessary components: to tolerate an object means to have objection to it though without interfering with it. However, it is wrong to think we have, and it is wrong for us to have, objection to people simply because of (...)

    Xunzi and Zhuangzi on Music: Two Ways of Modeling the Ethical Significance of Art.Guido Kreis - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):64-80.
    This paper analyses two early Chinese ways of modeling the ethical significance of art using music as an example. I shall focus on the Xunzi 《荀子》 as a paradigmatic statement of Confucian views, and selected passages from the Zhuangzi 《莊子》 as an exemplary manifestation of Daoist aesthetics. I argue that the Xunzi opts for a direct ethical impact of music, while it does not rely on an independent aesthetic conception of the goodness of music. By contrast, I argue that the (...)

    Gangster Zhi: Comedic Daoist Philosophical Practice.Hans-Georg Moeller - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):17-27.
    This paper argues that the Zhuangzi 《莊子》 represents a specific type of Daoist practical philosophy: It is medicinal or therapeutic and seeks to promote existential ease, often by means of humor. Part of its approach to practical philosophy consists in pointing out the impracticality of many early Chinese philosophical doctrines, and, especially, Confucian political and ethical teachings. To illustrate this understanding of the Zhuangzi, the narrative of Confucius’ visit to the legendary Gangster Zhi (dao zhi 盜跖) is analyzed in some (...)

    Just Roles and Virtues? On the Double Structure of Confucian Ethics.Heiner Roetz - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):44-63.
    Role ethics is next to virtue ethics one of the two dominant current paradigms to classify Confucian ethics. This article argues that both approaches undersell Confucianism. While roles and virtues are important elements of its ethics, this has a deontological layer that does not address the specific bearer of roles but the human being in general. This layer even prevails in case of conflict. Together and in constant tension with the emphasis on roles and virtues, it forms part of a (...)

    The Idea of a Good Life: Lessons from Confucius, Aristotle, Zhuangzi, and the Stoics.Christian Helmut Wenzel - 2023 - Journal of Chinese Philosophy 50 (1):3-16.
    In 1930, the British economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that by 2030 people would work only fifteen hours per week and enjoy more free time and leisure, that we would return to “principles of religion and traditional virtue,” declaring “love of money morbid, semi-criminal, and semi-pathological,” and that “we shall once more value ends above means.” But today, we do not see that this prophesy has proven true. Something must have gone wrong. We do not sufficiently know the distinction between (...)
