This seminar offers a broad engagement with Wang Yangming (1472-1529), one of the most innovative and influential of all Chinese philosophers. We will read all of his writings that are available in English translation (his major work, the Record for Practice (Chuan Xi Lu); many of his letters; and a few poems) as well as the best recent scholarship on Wang, with the goal of both understanding and critically assessing his ideas, as well as opportunities to put Wang's ideas into constructive dialogue with contemporary philosophy. The seminar will also pay attention to the ways in which Wang's ideas have been understood and appropriated by thinkers, activists, and political leaders down to the present day. |
