Zusatztext Philip J. Ivanhoe, unlike most scholars who cannot be immersed in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditions at the same time, makes a great contribution to the introduction of Confucian philosophy in the East Asian context by juxtaposing three great traditions and analyzing the key concepts embedded in these traditions. Not every major Confucian philosopher in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean history is tackled, but relevant historical figures and their philosophical reflections on learning and the moral heart-mind are seamlessly interwoven into the narratives and arguments of this book. Informationen zum Autor Philip J. Ivanhoe (Ph.D. Stanford University) is Chair Professor of East Asian and Comparative Philosophy and Religion at City University of Hong Kong, where he also serves as director of the Center for East Asian and Comparative Philosophy (CEACOP), the Laboratory on Korean Philosophy in Comparative Perspectives, and the project Eastern and Western Conceptions of Oneness, Virtue, and Human Happiness. He specializes in the history of East Asian philosophy and religion and its potential for contemporary ethics.
