About Me
|
I am currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at Yunnan University. I hold my PhD and MA degrees in philosophy from Paris-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 focused on epistemology and the history of modern philosophy. My recent project is to defend an orthodox version of "Cartesian epistemology," which has been inspired by Descartes' Meditationes and Regulae. This version of the theory is supposed to fend off several contemporary attacks at classical foundationalism. It also hopefully solves a number of puzzles in Descartes' texts. When not doing philosophy, I like practicing traditional Chinese martial art. Sometimes it helps to find what Master Shifu calls "inner peace." Then I thought "maybe that could offer rational support for beliefs in Taoist doctrines." So I found William Alston's work on divine perception. Now I am still exploring the literature of religious epistemology, and hoping to contribute something from an oriental perspective one day. |
