Exploring Agency in Chinese Environmental Thought through Human–Machine Co-Creation
In an age marked by global crises, a transcultural understanding of the philosophical foundations of human thought—especially in epistemology and ethics—has become essential. Contemporary ecological crises unfold on a planetary scale, exceeding both the conceptual limits of nation-states and the historically constituted horizons of dominant Western paradigms. Addressing them requires normative frameworks grounded in global interdependence rath…
Confucianism and Chinese Philosophy through the Eyes of Western Scholarship
This paper critically examines the challenges and methodological problems in Western interpretations of Confucianism and Chinese philosophy in general. It argues that many such studies are shaped by unreflective Western epistemological assumptions, rooted in historically specific paradigms and power relations. To overcome these limitations, the author advocates for a transcultural methodological framework that problematizes the alleged incommensu…
Rewriting the Geography of Reason
The modern world is marked by a paradox. The values that once defined its normative horizon, such as human dignity, autonomy, critical rationality, and the moral equality of all people, are increasingly invoked as universal achievements, yet they are simultaneously challenged, hollowed out, and strategically instrumentalized in many parts of the globe, including Europe itself. The heritage of the European Enlightenment, with its insistence on t…
Asia Marginalica
Asian studies in Latin America are still at a formative stage, and the guest editors of this special issue are key figures in this ongoing development. Yet this youthfulness does not necessary imply lower quality or lesser relevance. On the contrary, precisely because of their relative newness, many Latin American contributions offer fresh perspectives and alternative angles on scholarly engagement with Asian regions. Of particular importance i…
Mo Di in pacifistični humanizem univerzalne ljubezni
Prvi in najznamenitejši predstavnik moistične šole, filozof Mo Di 墨翟 (479–390 pr. n. št.), je v svojih teoretskih zasnovah prevzel ter priredil številne ideje konfucijanske doktrine, čeprav sta bili obe šoli po letu 350 pr. n. št. zelo kritični druga do druge. Obe filozofski šoli sta izšli iz kulturnega in političnega konteksta države Lu, kjer je tradicija pacifizma že od samega nastanka idejnih diskurzov naprej poudarjala moralni imperativ člo…
The Master Said
Just over a week ago, we passed the anniversary of a year in which we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the International Society for Chinese Philosophy (ISCP). This means that exactly half a century has passed since the late Professor Cheng Chung-ying founded this society, which stands as the oldest and largest academic association in the world dedicated to building bridges between Chinese and global philosophies. The 50th anniversary is, o…
Li Zehou and modern new Confucianism
Distinguishing Emptiness from Nothingness
The philosophical definition of the relationship between nothingness and emptiness continues to spark academic debates and controversies. In this article, we aim to clarify this relationship by examining some Chinese discourses relevant to the topic. The concept of absolute nothingness, as it was established in the Neo-Daoist philosophy of the Wei-Jin period in China—and reaching perhaps its most sophisticated form in the philosophy of Nishida Ki…
Ephemeral Homelands
The current issue of Asian Studies explores the Korean diaspora across Japan, Europe, and North America. Given the journal’s primary focus on East Asian cultures and discourses, this is not the first special issue devoted to Korean studies. Such repeated attention is far from coincidental, as South Korea is an increasingly influential player in international relations between Asia and the Euro-American regions. And since our journal Asian Studies…
From Fundamental Absence to Absolute Nothingness
This article aims to explore the existence of absolute Nothingness within the Daoist framework. The inquiry will revolve around an imagined dialogue, juxtaposing the ideas of Nishida Kitaro and Wang Bi through a contrastive analysis employing the transcultural method of sublation. While Nishida asserted that his philosophy was underpinned only by Zen Buddhism and Western philosophy, we will illuminate the frequently overlooked but profoundly infl…
Part II of the Double Issue on Nothingness
This special double issue of Asian Studies is dedicated to exploring the manifold meanings, implications, and philosophical functions of “nothingness” across diverse Asian and transcultural traditions. Its second part advances the inquiry by turning to specific constellations of thought in which nothingness plays a formative role. The issue is divided into four thematic sections: “Transcultural Comparisons”, “Freedom and Beauty”, “Analytical Appr…
Sublacija literature in filozofije v Zhuangziju
V literaturi se pogosto raziskujejo filozofske teme, ki uvajajo nove metode poglobljenega prikaza problemov obstoja, moralnih dilem in kompleksnosti človeške narave. Avtorji in avtorice uporabljajo strukture, like in simboliko, s katerimi posredujejo ter raziskujejo filozofske ideje, pri čemer neredko ustvarijo bogato interakcijo med obema vedama. Sama filozofija se lahko v literarni obliki izrazi v dialogih, esejih in filozofski fikciji. Takšna …
Editor’s Foreword
Sublating Anxiety
This essay performs a detailed contrastive analysis of two differing concepts of anxiety: Heidegger’s Angst and Xu Fuguan’s youhuan yishi , employing the method of transcultural philosophical sublation. This dialectical approach, deeply rooted in the traditional Chinese philosophy of mutual complementarity between opposing ideas, thoughtfully integrates Heidegger’s notion of Sorge (care) with the Confucian principle of ren (humaneness) as complem…
Chinese Philosophy in Transcultural Contexts
Jana S. Rošker presents a novel dialectical method to our comprehension of diverse philosophical ideas. Analyzing philosophical discourses that have emerged in China and the Sinophone region, Rošker applies the method to examples from across the history of thought. From Ancient Chinese logicians to 20th-century intellectuals, she connects thinkers and offers fresh insights into key aspects of philosophy. The result is a series of vibrant dialogue…
The unity of identity and difference as the absoluteness of all relativity
This paper addresses the question of whether it is possible to develop theoretical methods to reconcile absolute principles on the one hand and relative tenets on the other. I will look at this question through the lens of classical Chinese logic and, more concretely, through the elaborations of the Chinese logician Hui Shi on this relationship. The examination of this problem proceeds from a general introduction of the basic framework of semanti…
Eric S. Nelson
Eric S. Nelson’s Heidegger and Dao: Things, Nothingness, Freedom masterfully interweaves the philosophies of Martin Heidegger and classical Daoism, offering an intricate examination of their treatment of key concepts such as things, nothingness, and freedom. The book explores the nuanced variations and transformative interpretations of these central ideas, illuminating their profound impact on both Western and East Asian philosophical traditions.…
Sublating Humanism
Chinese humanism developed distinctly from European humanist discourses, reflecting unique cultural and philosophical traditions. Analysing these differences can enhance our understanding of both the specific characteristics of Chinese humanism and the diverse potentialities within contemporary global humanist thought. This comparative perspective, enhanced by employing the method of sublation, underscores the planetary relevance of humanism. It …
Research on the Confucian Revival in Slovenia
There has been a significant amount of research carried out in Slovenia on the revival of Confucianism, particularly since 2012 and 2014, when the first two research projects on this topic were approved. Members of the Department of Asian Studies at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, have been consistently conducting research in Slovenia and various Chinese, Taiwanese, and East Asian archives and libraries. These efforts have led to se…
Re-inventing Chinese Philosophy through the Method of Sublation
In this article, I will introduce and describe my current research work, which centres on re-interpreting Chinese philosophy by implementing an innovative approach suitable for transcultural philosophical comparisons. To commence this undertaking, I was compelled to address certain issues, leading me to seek a novel methodology for transcultural research. This article will begin by briefly addressing the still existing general problems of transcu…
Humanism in Trans-civilizational Perspectives
The Gadamerian Discourse in China and the Fusion of Aesthetic Realms
Based on comparative philosophical methodology, this paper presents a new hermeneutic method for interpreting Chinese (especially ancient Chinese) texts. It first introduces the rich tradition of Chinese hermeneutics and then analyses its possible dialogues with European hermeneutic methods, especially Gadamer’s “fusion of horizons”. It identifies some methodological problems inherent in this method and, on this basis, proposes the application of…
Humanism, Post-Humanism and Transhumanism in the Transcultural Context of Europe and Asia
This issue of Asian Studies delves into the challenges inherent to humanity and the human condition. Over the course of centuries, these challenges have laid the groundwork for conceptual frameworks commonly referred to as humanism, which have undergone development within a multitude of cultural contexts. Numerous analyses and critiques of these frameworks can be found in many papers contained in this issue, especially regarding the dynamics betw…
Daoist Eco-Humanism and the Authenticity of Natural Life beyond Deontological Ethics
Recently, much work has been put into the scholarly understanding and interpretation of the complexities of the Daoist tradition. This includes a critical exploration of its contribution to contemporary environmental issues. In this paper, the author reflects on the intersection of Daoist humanism and ecology and highlights the theoretical and historical implications associated with the Daoist approach to the environment. These starting points ca…
Dissolution of the Self
This article explores the connection between digital technology and privacy and intimacy in Europe and the Sinophone regions, with a particular focus on the changing role and constitution of human personhood. It argues that digital technology has fundamentally altered the ways in which individuals construct and maintain their personal boundaries, resulting in the erosion of traditional notions of the human self. Through an analysis of cultural an…
Modern Confucianism and the Concept of “Asian Values”
Through contrastive analysis, the present paper aims to introduce the connections between the now fashionable notion of Asian values and the Modern Confucian discourses. Even though this has often been closely identified with Confucian axiology, this article shows how and why this notion has almost nothing to do with the contemporary stream of the so-called Modern Confucians or their philosophy. However, precisely because of this false identifica…
Li Zehou’s Ethics and the Structure of Confucian Pragmatic Reason
Li Zehou believes that human psychology, just like humanness or “human nature”, is not fixed or given, but is rather something characterized by changing developmental forms of human pragmatic reason, which is formed over millions of years, and is still continuously accumulating and changing. However, reason alone is by no means something that would absolutely separate humans from their sensuality and thus from other animals. The difference betwee…
Modern Confucianism and Chinese Theories of Modernization
The Confucian revival, which manifests itself in the modern Confucian current, belongs to the most influential and important streams of thought in contemporary Chinese philosophy and represents a crucial part of the new prevailing ideologies in P. R. China. Although many books and articles on this topic are available in Chinese, academic studies in Western languages are still few and far between. The present article aims to introduce this stream …
Fang Dongmeijeva filozofija ustvarjalnega kozmosa
Fang Dongmei (1899–1977) je eden osrednjih predstavnikov druge generacije modernega konfucijanstva, četudi se sam nikoli ni izrecno izrekel samo za konfucijanca, temveč je vselej poudarjal, da je po duši poleg tega tudi daoist in budist. Vsekakor je teoretski doprinos tega, na zahodu še vedno precej neznanega modernega filozofa k moderni kitajski filozofiji vreden podrobnejše obravnave. Pričujoči članek se osredotoča predvsem na analizo in interp…
Confucian Humanism and the Importance of Female Education
The problem of the relation between the female gender and Confucian humanism is far more complex than it seems to be on the first glance. Especially if we consider the many misogynistic phenomena we can encounter in the course of Chinese history, such as foot-binding or the concubinage, we might be inclined to think that female philosophy was impossible in traditional China. This paper aims to challenge the standard views on this problem. It aims…
Mindfulness and Its Absence – The Development of the Term Mindfulness and the Meditation Techniques Connected to It from Daoist Classics to the Sinicized Buddhism of the Chan School
This article addresses the modifications of the term mindfulness in sinicized meditation practices derived from Indian Buddhism. It attempts to shed some light on these modifications from two different aspects: first the classical Daoist meditation practices were analysed, and this showed why and in what way did the Daoist terminology function as a bridge in the initial phase of translating Buddhist concepts and the sinicization of Buddhist philo…
Models of Humanism in Ancient China
In China, humanism, especially within the framework of Confucian ethics, developed quite differently from humanist discourses in Europe. Therefore, it is important to understand the origins and development of Confucian ideas that place human beings at the center of culture and the cosmos. Through the lens of the cultural particularities of humanism, this knowledge can help us gain a more complex and multi-layered insight into the universal factor…
Wang Shouren’s Ethico-Epistemology and the Double Nature of Recognition
Wang Shouren (1472 -1529), who appears more frequently in the history of Chinese philosophy under his pseudonym Wang Yangming , is generally recognized as the most important exponent, indeed founder, of the Neo-Confucian "School of the Heart-Mind" (Xin xue ). In the context of Neo-Confucianism, Wang's philosophy is of great importance, especially with regard to his views on the inseparable unity of ethics and epistemology and his latent syntheses…
Modern and Contemporary Taiwanese Philosophy
The topic of this special issue deals with the development of a certain stream of the Chinese philosophical tradition. Yet this philosophy did not originate in mainland China, and thus in some supposedly logical “centre” of Chinese culture, but on its alleged “periphery”, namely on the beautiful island of Taiwan. One of the incentives for our decision to compile an issue of Asian Studies which is devoted entirely to the philosophical developments…
Chinese Philosophy, “Postcomparative” Approaches and Transcultural Studies
In the previous issue of Asian Studies (May 2020), Vytis Silius published a paper entitled Diversifying Academic Philosophy: The Post-Comparative Turn and Transculturalism, in which he dealt with some basic, significant and hitherto still unsolved questions regarding the so-called “post-comparative shift” in Chinese and intercultural philosophy
Special Issue Dedicated to Li Zehou on His 90th Birthday – Ethics and the Beauty of Human Becoming
The present issue of the journal Asian Studies is dedicated to Li Zehou, one of the greatest contemporary Chinese philosophers. It was compiled as a part of the celebration of his 90th birthday, which will take place on June 13 2020
Philosophy in Taiwan
Taiwanese philosophers are playing a rather prominent role in the context of preserving the Chinese ideational tradition, even though their significance in this context is still widely unknown. The present article is thus focused upon the critical introduction of their work, and its positioning into the context of the political, economic and intellectual conditions of the second half of the 20th century. The role of the Taiwanese philosophy was e…
Li Zehou's notion of subjectality as a new conception of the human self
Li Zehou stands among the most influential Chinese philosophers in the post-Mao era. His notion of subjectality (zhutixing 主体性) is of paramount importance for current developments in contemporary Chinese philosophy. It belongs to the central concepts in Li's theoretical framework, around which his entire philosophical system is constructed. With his elaboration of this concept, Li expanded the problem of the self in post-revolutionary modernism. …
Between Tradition and Modernity
In the last decades of the 20th century, the revival of traditional Confucianism assumed increasing importance and relevance. The revitalization of its complex philosophical heritage thus became part of the most important theoretical currents in contemporary East Asian societies. Due to its potentially stabilizing social function and compatibility with capitalism, Confucianism is often seen as the Asian equivalent of Max Weber’s “protestant ethic…
"Philosophical Interactions between "East and West
Though the Confucian system of thought, society, and government has a long history in Korea, Chinese Confucian scholars, preoccupied with the urgency of “saving the Confucian essence” used only Japan as a reference in Asia. Therefore, the present article aims to introduce Dasan 茶山 (Jeong Yak-yong 정약용, 1762–1836), who was one of the main representatives of Korean Confucian philosophy. It exposes his significance for the full-range understanding of…
The Philosophical Sinification of Modernity and the Modern Confucian Paradigm of Immanent Transcendence (內在超越性)
As a major source of social values, Modern Confucian theory assumes essential significance amidst the proliferation of instrumental rationality in contemporary China. This current is distinguished by a multifaceted attempt to revitalize traditional thought by means of new influences borrowed or derived from Western systems. It defines itself with a search for a synthesis between “Western” and traditional Chinese thought, aiming to elaborate a new…
Kitajska strukturna semantika
Sklepanje po analogiji predstavlja logično metodo, ki je bila v kitajski antiki zelo razširjena. Pričujoči članek se osredotoča na element semantičnega oziroma aksiološkega vrednotenja, ki je pomenil eno temeljnih iztočnic specifike starokitajskih analogizmov. Avtorica izhaja iz predpostavke, po kateri je osredotočenost na vsebinsko, in ne toliko na formalno strukturo stavkov pomembna posebnost klasične kitajske logike, ki omogoča njeno aplikacij…
A Chinese View on the Cultural Conditionality of Logic and Epistemology
Recognizing the fact that comprehension, analysis and transmission of reality are based on diversely structured socio-political contexts as well as on different categorical and essential postulates, offers a prospect of enrichment. Thus, this article presents an analysis and interpretation of one of the first Chinese theoreticians, working in the field of intercultural methodology. Although Zhang Dongsun (1886–1973) can be considered as one of th…
Searching for the Way
Traditional Chinese Thought
Contemporary theoretical streams in sinology and modern Chinese philosophy have devoted increasing attention to investigating and comparing the substantial and methodological assumptions of the so-called ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ traditions. In spite of the complexity of these problems, the most important methodological condition for arriving at some reasonably valid conclusions will undoubtedly be satisfied if we consciously endeavor to preserve t…
The Concept of Structure as a Basic Epistemological Paradigm of Traditional Chinese Thought
The theoretical work of European and American structuralism has produced a number of important elements which have resulted in (especially with respect to certain new, fundamental approaches in semantics, philosophy and methodology) essential shifts in the modes of thinking in the humanities, and in the cultural and social sciences. Despite these shifts, Western discourses have still not produced any integral, coherent structural model of epistem…
"Epistemološka interpretacija Ji Kangovega eseja "V glasbi ni žalosti, ne radosti
Pričujoči članek izpostavi novo interpretacijo Ji Kangove (Kitajska, 223–262) teorije glasbe, ki temelji na njegovem razumevanju spoznavnoteoretskih osnov percepcije. Analiza pokaže, da je bilo njegovo razumevanje osnovano na strukturni zvezi med subjektom in objektom dojemanja
Wherever We Find Friends there Begins a New Life
Tagore made a deep impression upon the Chinese culture and society. In 1923, the Jiangxue she 講學社 (Beijing Lecture Association) invited Rabindranath Tagore to deliver a series of talks. The Jiangxue she Association was established in September 1920 and represented one of the many institutions that came to life in China during the May Fourth Movement. Since then, almost all of his works in English have been translated into Chinese. He came to Chin…

The Ideological Foundations of Taiwanese Modernity
In order to understand the social, political and intellectual process of Chinese modernization, it is necessary to evaluate their ideological foundations and to thus become able to place it in the suitable political context. Chinese philosophy of the first half of the 20th century was still determined by the conditions of the decline of the pre-modern era. The present article aims to explore and to introduce the rise and growth of Modern Confucia…
Harmonična modernizacija Kitajske ali avtonomija reda in miru
Članek obravnava idejo harmonične družbe, ki tvori jedro aktualnih družbenih ideologij v L. R. Kitajski. V ta namen jo osvetli iz treh zornih kotov, namreč skozi analizo uradnih državnih, klasičnih in modernih konfucijanskih interpretacij koncepta harmonije (he 和, hexie 和諧). Avtorica ugotovi, da uradna interpretacija teoretikov L.R. Kitajske večinoma sloni na Xunzijevi (torej legalistično – avtokratski) nadgradnji tega koncepta, medtem ko sledijo…

The Subject’s New Clothes
In Modern Confucian philosophy the notion of the moral Self which is expressed through the natural moral substance (xingti 性體) represents both the foundation of each individual and the core of the universal reason. The indivisibility of the moral Self from its concrete activities within the social sphere differs in many various aspects from prevailing Western political and philosophical theories that are based on the separation of the empirical a…

The Taiwanese Perspective in Investigating Korean Confucianism
Numerous representatives of the contemporary Confucian revival from Taiwan are increasingly demonstrating the fact that the development of Confucian philosophy has to be viewed in a broader cultural context, especially in the context of different East Asian regions. While the development of the Japanese Confucian studies has been elaborated to a great extent during the last decades, studies in Korean Confucianism are still rare. Hence, the presen…

Classical Chinese Logic
The present article provides an introduction to classical Chinese logic, a term which refers to ancient discourses that were developed before the arrival of significant external influences and which flourished 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 background of Chinese logic, th…

Medkulturna problematika vzhodnoazijskih študij ter vprašanje tradicije in modernosti
The article explores and introduces some of the crucial problems linked to Asian studies, from the viewpoint of intercultural methodology. The author explains why the mastering of Asian languages in the research process is of central importance, for it allows us, among other things, to apply and incorporate into the research original, primary sources from these regions. Through the lens of such methodological issues, the article then explores som…

Is Confucianism a religion? Modern Confucian theories on the ethical nature of classical discourses
When dealing with the study of diverse Confucian traditions in eastern Asia, we are often confronted by the issue of the religious dimension of Confucianism and how can it be compared to the Western (or ‘general’) connotations of the term. Proceeding from the basic question as to how Confucianism sees itself, the paper focuses on the approaches of two representatives of the Modern Confucian intellectual movement, namely Mou Zongsan and Xu Fuguan.…
Chinese modernization and the sinification of Marxism through the lens of Li Zehou’s philosophy
Li Zehou belongs to the most well-known and influential contemporary Chinese philosophers of our time. Since he is one of the exiled intellectuals, his work has also acquired a wide readership outside China. Working mostly in the fields of classical Chinese philosophy and Chinese aesthetics, he dedicated himself to the task of finding a suitable and sensible way of harmonizing past and present, tradition and modernity, China and the West. Hence, …
Yang Zhu – enfant terrible filozofskega daoizma in njegov koncept privatizma
Yang Zhu, kitajski filozof iz četrtega stoletja pred našim štetjem, se je v zgodovino kitajske filozofije zapisal kot egoističen hedonist, nezmožen krepostnega življenja v skupnosti, ustrojeni po načelih stroge konfucijanske filozofije. Kot takega ga je uradno konfucijansko zgodovinopisje vselej znova ožigosalo za heretičnega misleca, nevrednega položaja resničnega filozofa. Ta članek poskuša zavrniti takšno intepretacijo Yang Zhujeve filozofije …
