Mohist Approach To The Rule-Following Problem, Chung-I Lin
Mohist Approach To The Rule-Following Problem, Chung-I Lin
Comparative Philosophy
The Mohist conceives the dao-following issue as "how we can put dao in words and speeches into practice." The dao-following issue is the Mohist counterpart of Wittgenstein's rule-following problem. This paper aims to shed light on the rule-following issue in terms of the Mohist answer to the dao-following problem. The early Mohist takes fa(法, standard)and the later Mohist takes lei(類, analogy)as the key to the dao-following issue. I argue that the way of fa is not viable. Fa comes in various forms, but all of them are regarded as being cut off from everyday life and therefore subject to various …
Reading Han Fei As "Social Scientist": A Case-Study In "Historical Correspondence", Henrique Schneider
Reading Han Fei As "Social Scientist": A Case-Study In "Historical Correspondence", Henrique Schneider
Comparative Philosophy
Han Fei was one of the main proponents of Legalism in Qin-era China. Although his works are mostly read from a historic perspective, the aim of this paper is to advance an interpretation of Han Fei as a social scientist. The social sciences are the fields of academic scholarship that study society and its institutions as a consequence of human behavior. Methodologically, social sciences combine abstract approaches in model-building with empiric investigations, seeking to prove the functioning of the models. In a third step, social sciences also aim at providing policy advice. Han Fei can be read as operating similarly. …

A Daoist Model For A Kantian Church, Stephen R. Palmquist
A Daoist Model For A Kantian Church, Stephen R. Palmquist
Comparative Philosophy
Although significant differences undoubtedly exist between Daoism and Kants philosophy, the two systems also have some noteworthy similarities. After calling attention to a few such parallels and sketching the outlines of Kants philosophy of religion, this article focuses on an often-neglected feature of the latter: the four guiding principles of what Kant calls an invisible church (universality, purity, freedom, and unchangeableness). Numerous passages from Lao Zis classic text, Dao-De-Jing, seem to uphold these same principles, thus suggesting that they can also be interpreted as core features of a Daoist philosophy of life. A crucial difference, however, is that members of …
Mencius' Jun-Zi, Aristotle's Megalopsuchos, & Moral Demands To Help The Global Poor, Sean Walsh
Mencius' Jun-Zi, Aristotle's Megalopsuchos, & Moral Demands To Help The Global Poor, Sean Walsh
Comparative Philosophy
It is commonly believed that impartial utilitarian moral theories have significant demands that we help the global poor, and that the partial virtue ethics of Mencius and Aristotle do not. This ethical partiality found in these virtue ethicists has been criticized, and some have suggested that the partialistic virtue ethics of Mencius and Aristotle are parochial (i.e., overly narrow in their scope of concern). I believe, however, that the ethics of Mencius and Aristotle are both more cosmopolitan than many presume and also are very demanding. In this paper, I argue that the ethical requirements to help the poor and …

Daoism As Critical Theory, Mario Wenning
Daoism As Critical Theory, Mario Wenning
Comparative Philosophy
Classical philosophical Daoism as it is expressed in the Dao-De-Jing and the Zhuang-Zi is often interpreted as lacking a capacity for critique and resistance. Since these capacities are taken to be central components of Enlightenment reason and action, it would follow that Daoism is incompatible with Enlightenment. This interpretation is being refuted by way of developing a constructive dialogue between the enlightenment traditions of critical theory and recent philosophy of action from a Daoist perspective. Daoism's normative naturalism does neither rest on a primitivist call for a return to the past, nor does it suggest future-directed activism. By way of …

Analytic And Continental Philosophy, Science, And Global Philosophy, Richard Tieszen
Analytic And Continental Philosophy, Science, And Global Philosophy, Richard Tieszen
Comparative Philosophy
Although there is no consensus on what distinguishes analytic from Continental philosophy, I focus in this paper on one source of disagreement that seems to run fairly deep in dividing these traditions in recent times, namely, disagreement about the relation of natural science to philosophy. I consider some of the exchanges about science that have taken place between analytic and Continental philosophers, especially in connection with the philosophy of mind. In discussing the relation of natural science to philosophy I employ an analysis of the origins of natural science that has been developed by a number of Continental philosophers. Awareness …
The Future Of Humanity: Heidegger, Personhood And Technology, Mahon James O'Brien
The Future Of Humanity: Heidegger, Personhood And Technology, Mahon James O'Brien
Comparative Philosophy
This paper argues that a number of entrenched posthumanist positions are seriously flawed as a result of their dependence on a technical interpretive approach that creates more problems than it solves. During the course of our discussion we consider in particular the question of personhood. After all, until we can determine what it means to be a person we cannot really discuss what it means to improve a person. What kinds of enhancements would even constitute improvements? This in turn leads to an examination of the technical model of analysis and the recurring tendency to approach notions like personhood using …

Dante’S Understanding Of The Two Ends Of Human Desire And The Relationship Between Philosophy And Theology, Jason Aleksander
Dante’S Understanding Of The Two Ends Of Human Desire And The Relationship Between Philosophy And Theology, Jason Aleksander
Faculty Publications
I discuss Dante’s understanding that human existence is “ordered by two final goals” and how this understanding defines philosophy’s and theology’s respective scopes of authority in guiding human conduct. I show that, while Dante devalues the philosophical authority associated with the traditional Aristotelian emphasis on the significance of contemplative activity, he does so in order to highlight philosophy’s ethico-political authority to guide human conduct toward its “earthly beatitude.” Moreover, I argue that, although Dante subordinates earthly beatitude to spiritual beatitude, he nonetheless maintains that philosophy’s authority to reveal a path to spiritual beatitude requires its fundamental independence from theology.
