Course content This course will provide an overview of the history of Chinese philosophy. We will focus primarily on the “classical period” of Chinese philosophy which developed during the seminal Warring States Period in Chinese history. This period begins with Confucius and culminates with Han Feizi Spring 2008 History of Chinese Philosophy Syllabus at the end of the Warring States Period and the beginning of the Qin (Ch’in) Dynasty. This overview will thus cover the six primary schools of classical Chinese philosophy: Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, the School of Names, Legalism, and the Yin-Yang School. We will then go on to review the development of Buddhism in China as well as the subsequent developments of Neo- Daoism and Neo-Confucianism. course aims By the end of the course the students will be expected to have attained and demonstrated a satisfactory level of competence in understanding: the basic characteristics of Chinese Philosophy as distinguished from Western and other Asian Traditions. the distinctive teachings and practices of the various schools of Chinese Philosophy. the relevance of Chinese philosophy today.

  • A New Examination of Confucius' Rectification of Names
    Journal of chinese humanities � (���6) �47-�7� brill.com/joch A New Examination of Confucius’ Rectification of Names Cao Feng (曹峰) Professor of Philosophy, Renmin University, China [email protected] Translated by Brook Hefright Abstract Confucius’ explanation of the “rectification of names” is not necessarily related to the theories of “social status” and “names and actuality.” The reason scholars have inter- preted the rectification of names in the Analects in so many different ways is, to a large degree, due to assumptions about Confucius’ thinking by his successors, and based on the views on rectification of names among later generations. In the course of the devel- opment of thinking about names, scholars have augmented Confucius’ own explana- tion, gradually fleshing it out from an empty shell into a substantial edifice. The original meaning may have been very simple: Confucius did not wish to establish a standard system of names. Rather, he was simply the first person in history to realize the impor- tance of language in politics. As a politician, Confucius noticed and foresaw the influ- ence that the indeterminacy, ambiguity, and arbitrariness of names could have on politics. He discerned the political consequences when language could not accurately express meaning or when there was no way for people to accurately perceive it. He also recognized how names, as a way of clarifying right and wrong and establishing norms, could have a great effect on a society’s politics. Although Confucius noted that disunity in speech could lead to disunity in politics, he did not propose a solution.

Confucian philosophical argumentation skills MINGHUI XIONG Institute of Logic & Cognition and Department of Philosophy Sun Yat-sen University 135 Xingang West Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong, 510275 China [email protected] ABSTRACT: Becker argued Confucianism lacked of argumentation, dialogue and debate. However, Becker is wrong. First, the purpose of philosophical argumentation is to justify an arguer’s philosophical standpoints. Second, both Confucius’ Analects and Mencius’ Mencius were written in forms of dialogues. Third, the content of each book is the recorded utterance and the purpose of dialogue is to persuade its audience. Finally, after Confucius, Confucians’ works have either argued for those unjustified standpoints or re-argued about some justified viewpoints in the Analects. KEYWORDS: Becker, Confucianism, argumentation, Confucius, Mencius 1. INTRODUCTION Confucianism is sometimes viewed as philosophy, and sometimes as religion. As a kind of religion, Confucianism has been the most prevalent and influential ones in China.

  • 1 Paradoxes in the School of Names1 Chris Fraser University of Hong
    1 Paradoxes in the School of Names1 Chris Fraser University of Hong Kong Introduction Paradoxes are statements that run contrary to common sense yet seem to be supported by reasons and in some cases may turn out to be true. Paradoxes may be, or may entail, explicit contradictions, or they may simply be perplexing statements that run beyond or against what seems obviously correct. They may be proposed for various reasons, such as to overturn purportedly mistaken views, to illustrate problematic logical or conceptual relations, to reveal aspects of reality not reflected by received opinion, or simply to entertain. In the Western philosophical tradition, the earliest recognized paradoxes are attributed to Zeno of Elea (ca. 490–430 B.C.E.) and to Eubulides of Miletus (fl. 4th century B.C.E.). In the Chinese tradition, the earliest and most well-known paradoxes are ascribed to figures associated with the “School of Names” (ming jia 名家), a diverse group of Warring States (479–221 B.C.E.) thinkers who shared an interest in language, logic, and metaphysics. Their investigations led some of these thinkers to propound puzzling, paradoxical statements such as “Today go to Yue but arrive yesterday,” “White horses are not horses,” and “Mountains and gorges are level.” Such paradoxes seem to have been intended to highlight fundamental features of reality or subtleties in semantic relations between words and things. Why were thinkers who advanced paradoxes categorized as a school of “names”? In ancient China, philosophical inquiry concerning language and logic focused on the use of “names” (ming 名, also terms, labels, or reputation) and their semantic relations to “stuff” (shi 實, also objects, features, events, or situations).

  • Classical Chinese Logic
    Philosophy Compass (2015): 1–9, 10.1111/phc3.12226 Classical Chinese Logic Jana S. Rošker* University of Ljubljana Abstract The present article provides an introduction to classical Chinese logic, a term which refers to ancient dis- courses that were developed before the arrival of significant external influences and which f lourished in China until the first unification of China, during the Qin Dynasty (221 BC). Taking as its premise that logic implies both universal and culturally conditioned elements, the author describes the historical back- ground of Chinese logic, the main schools of Chinese logical thought, the current state of research in this area and the crucial concepts and methods applied in classical Chinese logic. The close link between Chinese logic and the Chinese language is also stressed. 1. Introduction Is logic a universal discipline, which means there is only one kind of logic? Or is it culturally conditioned, with many different logical systems? The answer depends on how we define log- ical reasoning. If we follow the narrow definition, which identifies or equates logic with the logical concepts, categories and methods that were developed in what we can call the Aristote- lian or Stoic tradition, we could conclude that in traditional and pre-modern China, there was no logic.1 But if logic is instead understood as a rational form of reasoning focused on valid ar- gumentation and its principles, many different approaches are possible. Furthermore, like hu- man language, logical propositions imply both universal as well as culturally conditioned elements. While the ability to express the perceived reality by means of linguistic terms and structures is one of the most basic and distinctive features of humanity, this common feature has evolved in countless different ways in different cultures, with each distinct language empha- sizing different patterns of reasoning.

  • Lecture 10 the Pre-Qin School of Names and Their Thought
    Lecture 10 The Pre-Qin School of Names and Their Thought The thought of the pre-Qin School of Names [mingjia, also translated Logicians, Debaters, Nominalists] was not as tidy nor as systematic as Confucianism, Mohism, Daoism, or Legalism. Unlike them, it was not directed at the exhaustion of Zhou culture, and so not directly related to Zhou [1122?-255 BCE] culture. When the Confucians, Mohists, Daoists, and Legalists articulated their philosophy, they automatically brought up questions discussed by the School of Names . Thus the School of Names was a derivative and the immediate occasion of their derivation was indirectly related to the exhaustion of Zhou culture. This immediate occasion was what Confucius called “rectifying names/terms” [zheng-ming]. By the time of the Spring and Autumn [722-481 BCE] and Warring States [480-222 BCE] periods, Zhou culture had become difficult to sustain because of the corruption of the nobility and the increasing complexity of society. In other words, the aristocracy was no longer able to maintain the ritual, music, and institutions, names [i.e., titles and ranks], ritual implements, measures, and numbers institutionalized by the Duke of Zhou [Zhou Gong,12th cent. BCE]. Once the nobility degenerated, it was unavoidable that name and substance/actuality, as well as names and implements (mingqi名器), became at odds with one another and disordered. “Name and substance at odds and confused” [mingshi guailuan名實乖亂] refers to what the Analects [Lunyu] described as “The ruler not being ruler, the minister not being minister, the father not being father, the son not being son.”1 He who occupies the position of a ruler has a ruler's name and should also have the substance of a ruler, namely virtue.

  • To Become a Sage-King in Huainanzi
    TO BECOME A SAGE-KING IN HUAINANZI by DANIEL SUNGBIN SOU (Under the Direction of Russell Kirkland) ABSTRACT This paper explains the method for becoming a “sage-king” in Huainanzi, which is the main purpose of the text according to its editor, King Liu An. The authors of Huainanzi present two methods of self-cultivation: (a) nourishing the physical body by breath-cultivation and stretching techniques and (b) “cultivating the heart-mind,” which leads one to shenming, “spiritual brightness,” a state in which one’s psychological state is identical to the Dao. Along with self-cultivation, non-action or non-government is also required. As the process of inner cultivation aligns oneself with the Dao, non-action or non-government emulates the Dao. Yin, “adaptability,” is the main method for the latter and is practiced based on self-cultivation. According to Huainanzi, one must achieve both to become the ideal leader. INDEX WORDS: Huainanzi, Self-cultivation, Non-action, Non-government, Sage-king, Adaptability, Spiritual brightness.
