Pedagogy and Environment in the Neo-Confucian Academies of Zhu Xi
Series:
Sinica Leidensia, Volume: 164
Author:
In this book, Xin Conan-Wu presents a radically revisionist argument on Zhu Xi’s (1130–1200) Neo-Confucian philosophy of education. Via analysis of unfamiliar landscapes and the poems of the White-Deer Grotto Academy, Yuelu Academy, and Wuyi Retreat, Conan-Wu argues that when praxis speaks for orthodoxy, the eclipsed pedagogue casts a liberal light on the enshrined philosopher.
Neo-Confucian senses of the gaze and place engendered Zhu Xi’s natural pedagogy and mapped the environment of his academies. Conan-Wu cross-examines the textual traces and their innate vision, the physical sites and their transhistorical milieu, the Eight Views and Nine Bends and their afterlives in China and Korea. It unfurls an academy education, mutually reinforced by classical learning and self-cultivation, and sustained by a lure of the Supreme Joy of Confucian sagehood.

Cai Yuanpei: Selected Writings on Education traces the evolution and revolution of Chinese modern education in the early twentieth century initiated by Cai Yuanpei (1868-1940), the first Minister of Education of Republic of China, Father of Peking University and Founder of Academia Sinica. This book interprets Cai Yuanpei’s spirit of “freedom of thought and academic inclusiveness” through his own words from his political, social and academic endeavors. Cai Yuanpei navigated the then Chinese education through the interactions between tradition and revolution, between the East and the West, setting the cornerstone of Chinese modern education system. His innovative ideology remains significant over the Chinese education reforms in the 21st century.

What does it mean to be human? We invite the reader to discuss this most fundamental issue in philosophy and to do so in an intercultural framework. The question of the human was the starting point for a legendary discussion between two German philosophers who met in Davos in 1929. We return to this historical event and re-imagine the debate between Martin Heidegger and Ernst Cassirer from a global perspective. Generating twenty papers from elaborate discussions, our authors contribute to the thought experiment by inviting the Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitarō from Kyoto and other Japanese thinkers into the debate to overcome the challenge of Eurocentrism inherent to these historic days in Davos.
