Awakening Philosophy
The Philosophical Influences Of Mao Zedong
What shaped the ideas and actions of one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century? Presenting a new account of Mao Zedong’s lifelong engagement with philosophy, Robert Allinson reveals the extent to which Chinese and Western thinkers determined Mao’s political career. For the first time Mao’s understanding of early philosophers such as Confucius, Laozi, Aristotle, Hegel, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche is looked at in close detail. Drawing …
Of Fish, Butterflies and Birds
I argue that the main theme of the Zhuangzi is that of spiritual transformation. If there is no such theme in the Zhuangzi, it becomes an obscure text with relativistic viewpoints contradicting statements and stories designed to lead the reader to a state of spiritual transformation. I propose to reveal the coherence of the deep structure of the text by clearly dividing relativistic statements designed to break down fixed viewpoints from statemen…
Wittgenstein, Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu
Where Western philosophy ends, with the limits of language, marks the beginning of Eastern philosophy. The Tao de jing of Laozi begins with the limitations of language and then proceeds from that as a starting point. On the other hand, the limitation of language marks the end of Wittgenstein's cogitations. In contrast to Wittgenstein, who thought that one should remain silent about that which cannot be put into words, the message of the Zhuangzi …
Saving Human Lives
This is a pioneering work. Recent disasters such as the tsunami disaster continue to demonstrate Professor Allinson’s thesis that valuing human lives is the core of ethical management. His unique comparison of the ideas of the power of Fate and High Technology, his penetrating analysis of the very concept of an "accident", demonstrate how concepts rule our lives. His wide-ranging investigation of court cases and government documents from the seve…

Complementarity as a Model for East-West Integrative Philosophy
Recently it has been discovered that Niels Bohr, the father of quantum physics, was acquainted, at a young age, with the ancient Chinese philosophy of Lao-Tzu.New evidence has come to light from a letter written by Bohr himself, discovered in 1998, which is a reply to a letter of inquiry from a Svend Hugo Jiirgensen, a teacher from the Danish town of Aalborg.The teacher had sent Bohr a manuscript entitled 'Tuo Te Ching and the Idea of Complementa…

Understanding the Chinese Mind
The golden rule as the core value in Confucianism & Christianity
One side of this paper is devoted to showing that the Golden Rule, understood as standing for universal love, is centrally characteristic of Confucianism properly understood, rather than graded, familial love. In this respect Confucianism and Christianity are similar. The other side of this paper is devoted to arguing contra 18 centuries of commentators that the negative sentential formulation of the Golden Rule as found in Confucius cannot be co…
Understanding the Chinese Mind
These essays represent an attempt to understand the Chinese mind through its philosophy. The first volume of its kind, the collection demonstrates how Chinese philosophy can be understood in light of techniques and categories taken from Western philosophy. Eight philosophers, each of whom is a recognized authority in Western philosophy as well as in some area of Chinese philosophy, contribute chapters from perspectives that indicate the uniquenes…
