In this episode, Jacinta speaks with Jennifer Wang, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Simon Fraser University, about her recent published work on the intersection between Confucian role ethics and contemporary analytic metaphysics. Associate Professor Wang explains Confucius’s historical context, before distinguishing between his teachings and how they’re interpreted by scholars of classical Chinese philosophy today. She talks about Confucius’ resources for understanding personhood, and how the novel approach of engaging with his teachings within an analytic framework not only opens up new philosophical possibilities, but makes Confucius’ thought accessible for a modern audience. Associate Professor Wang wraps up the episode by sharing available resources for getting into classical Chinese philosophy, and advice for researchers who are considering breaking new ground in philosophy.
