Body and Mind in the Analects:Embodied Cognition, Digital Humanities, and the Project of Comparative Philosophy

Coffee Time Talks on Chinese Thought

The claim that the notion of psychological interiority is completely lacking from the Analects of Confucius, and the related claim that psychological interiority itself is a particularly Western concept, is still frequently heard. It is also commonly claimed that mind-body dualism is entirely foreign to early China—or ‘the East’ more generally. This talk will explore how engaging with the cognitive sciences and digital humanities undermines claims such as this, and more broadly can help us to do our work as scholars of comparative philosophy.
