Methodological Reflections on the Study of Chinese Thought
Nivison and the Philosophical Study of Confucian Thought
One of David S. Nivison's (1923–2014) most important contributions is his work in bridging philological studies and philosophical inquiry. His methodological approach resonates in spirit with an approach to the study of Chinese thought advocated by Confucian thinkers such as Zhu Xi and Tang Junyi, who both emphasize jing toward early thinkers. He pays careful attention to textual details, is respectful of cultural context, and seeks to preserve t…

Confucian Ethics in Retrospect and Prospect
Conception of the Person in Early Confucian Thought
In recent discussions of comparative ethics, various claims have been made about the inapplicability of certain Western notions to the Confucian conception of the person. For example, some have observed that Confucians do not have a notion of self and do not draw a distinction between mind and body. Others, while working with the notion of self, have argued that the Confucian conception of self is constituted primarily by the social roles one occ…
Effortless Action
This book presents a systematic account of the role of the personal spiritual ideal of wu-wei-literally no doing, but better rendered as action-in early Chinese thought. Edward Slingerland's analysis shows that wu-wei represents the most general of a set of conceptual metaphors having to do with a state of effortless ease and unself-consciousness. This concept of effortlessness, he contends, serves as a common ideal for both Daoist and Confucian …
Rén Ҵ and Li Ѭ in the Analects
There are at least two different views concerning the earlier meaning of the character “rén.” According to one view, the character originally referred to the quality that makes someone a distinctive member of an aristocratic clan.1 According to another view, it originally had the meaning of love, especially the kindness of rulers to their subjects.2 For the purpose of my discussion, it is not necessary to adjudicate between these competing views.

Mencius and Early Chinese Thought
Throughout much of Chinese history, Mencius (372-289 b.c.) was considered the greatest Confucian thinker after Confucius himself. Following the enshrinement of the Mencius (an edited compilation of his thought by disciples or disciples of disciples) as one of the Four Books by Sung neo-Confucianists, he was studied by all educated Chinese. This study begins a reassessment of Mencius by studying his ethical thinking (how one should live) in relati…
