The Phenomenology of Guilt
The Confucian Notion of Ren
This guest column replies to an article, "If That's Not Love, What Is It?" by Daniel Boyarin, published in Common Knowledge 26, no. 3. Boyarin examines an "unknown affect" related to love that is observable in the Babylonian Talmud, and Lu responds by examining a Chinese affect, ren (仁), that is a type of love but never translated as love per se. Although ren initially manifests as sympathy in the Confucian tradition, it is essentially an experie…
Confucianism and Phenomenology
Critically developing the Contemporary New Confucianism, this book opens a new horizon for the study of emotions and philosophy of heart-mind and [human] nature by focusing on the communication between phenomenology, particularly Schelerian phenomenology, and Chinese philosophy, especially Mencius and Wang Yangming. Such communication demonstrates how ethics based on factual experience is possible, revealing the original spirit and fresh meaning …
The inversion of values and the renunciation of desire and love
This article investigates and compares Max Scheler’s and Wang Yangming’s analyses of the disorder of the heart as the inversion of values. Both Scheler and Wang affirm an objective hierarchy of values. Scheler proposes that spiritual values are higher than the values of pleasure, while for Wang heavenly principle is higher than desires. An objective hierarchy of values is correlated to the original and subjective moral feelings, such as love. How…

Pure knowing ( liang zhi ) as moral feeling and moral cognition
The main goals of this paper are two. First, it articulates what kinds of knowing pure knowing (liang zhi) is in its narrow sense (approval and disproval) (1) pure knowing as the capacity of moral judgment; (2) pure knowing (of Heavenly principle) as moral knowledge and standard. Besides, it analyses pure knowing’s different features through a phenomenological description. All these aspects of pure knowing are tied by moral feeling. Second, this …
The phenomenology of respect
In this paper, I focus on analyzing the manifestation and significance of respect. I first illustrate the two (or three) meanings of jing 敬 and their connection in Confucian classical texts, which is helpful to understand the Confucian phenomenology of respect. The two (or three) meanings are (1) seriousness as a mind-state and (2) respect (and attention) as an intentional feeling. After clarifying this point, I undertake a phenomenological analy…
The a Priori Value and Feeling in Max Scheler and Wang Yangming
Following Mou Zongsan’s interpretation of Wang Yangming, this paper investigates the phenomenology of values and moral emotions in Max Scheler and the Confucian learning of heart, especially Wang Yangming. Part I illustrates the meaning of moral emotions in Confucianism and introduces Wang Yangming’s idea of pure knowing (liangzhi 良知). Part II introduces Max Scheler’s idea of a priori value and feeling in order to explain how pure knowing could b…
