  • Kung‐sun lung on the point of pointing

    Whalen LaiARTICLEAsian Philosophy1997

    Graham compares Kung‐sun Lung's “White Horse not Horse” [Graham, A.C. (1990) Studies in Chinese Philosophy and Philosophical Literature (Albany, SUNY Press)] loith the use of a synecdoche in English, “Sword is not Blade”. The Blade as part stands in here for the whole which is the Sword. But just as Sword as ‘hilt plus blade’ is more than blade, then via analogia, White Horse as ‘white plus horse’ is more than the part that is just ‘horse’. Graha…

  • White horse not horse

    Whalen LaiARTICLEAsian Philosophy1995

    Kung‐sun Lung's thesis on ‘White Horse [is] not Horse’ has been solved by A. C. Graham on the basis of a part/whole logic and by Chad Hansen on that and a ‘mass‐noun’ hypothesis. We present it as a case of reducing White Horse to its two most telling marks and then, on the basis of the good Sense (instead of Reference) in a Negative Logic—the pragmatics of locating X as the remainder left over when all non‐X's have been removed—show how a stable …

  • From Protean Ape to Handsome Saint

    Whalen LaiARTICLEAsian Folklore Studies1994Referencias: 3

    The novel Monkey or Journey to the West tells of a simian's revolt against Heaven, of its defeat by the Buddha, and of its later being recruited as a pilgrim to protect the monk Tripitaka on his quest for scriptures in India. This essay traces Monkey's background to a) a mythic battle between a land deity and a water deity; b) a myth about an aboriginal in a medieval forest who is converted by Buddhist missionaries and becomes a saint who protect…

  • The public good that does the public good

    Whalen LaiARTICLEAsian Philosophy1993

    Mohism has long been misrepresented. Mo‐tzu is usually called a utilitarian because he preached a universal love that must benefit. Yet Mencius, who pined the Confucian way of virtue (humaneness and righteousness) against Mo‐tzu's way of benefit, basically borrowed Mo‐tzu's thesis: that the root cause of chaos is this lack of love—except Mencius renamed it the desire for personal benefit. Yet Mo‐tzu only championed ‘benefit’ to head off its oppos…

  • Chinese Buddhist and Christian Charities

    Whalen LaiARTICLEBuddhist-Christian Studies1992

    There is no Buddhist-Christian dialogue in modern China. But it is not, as I once thought, because of a lack of ideas (Lai 1986b, 1989). It is rather that the real issue, at least since the late nineteenth century, is works. To wit, not faith but works. That is, social work, social service, or charity. This is an area where the new Protestant missions may be said to differ from the Jesuit missions of old (Ocho 1979, 208). Social service was not t…

  • Of One Mind or Two? Query on the Innate Good in Mencius

    Open AccessWhalen LaiARTICLEReligious Studies1990

    Every man, says Mencius, has within him this mind (heart) of commiseration, this pu-jen chih hsin that cannot bear to see another person suffer. To support his argument, Mencius cites the parable of the child about to fall into a well. A man with an innate mind of compassion unable to bear to see the child suffer would naturally feel the urge to run ahead to save the child ( Mencius 2A.6). Yet elsewhere in Mencius 4A.17, it appears that had the p…

  • The Chinese Conceptions of Law

    Luke T Lee, Whalen Lai

    Concepts originating as religious principles have long had an impact on the structure and functioning of legal institutions in China. The authors isolate concepts from three major religious traditions and discuss their development, illustrating how they have had a lasting effect on the character of Chinese law.
