About Me
|
I am Professor of Philosophy at Yunnan University and Berggruen Fellow at Peking University. I hold my PhD and MA degrees in philosophy from Sorbonne University. From 2007 to 2010, I was an élève at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris. Before that, I obtained my BA in philosophy from Peking University. My research is mainly focused on epistemology and the history of modern philosophy. I am interested in classical foundationalism, intellectual assurance, the social dimension of know-how, virtue epistemology, and Chinese philosophy. When not doing philosophy, I practice the traditional Chinese martial art of "Taiji" and "Xingyi". This practice often produces the sensation of "qi", or "chakra" as in Naruto. The experience seems mystical, but it differs from Christian mystical encounters with spiritual beings. I am now conducting a project on the ontology and epistemology of mysticism in Confucianism, Daoism, and other Eastern religions. |
