  13. On today's new #HoPWaG episode we are joined by Robin Wang, who discusses yin-yang theory: she argues it is not so much a piece of doctrine as a whole pattern of thought. www.historyofphilosophy.net/yin-yang-wang #philsky #chinesephilosophy #yinyang

  14. "The Awakening of Faith in the Mahāyāna" is a seminal East Asian Buddhist text, synthesizing Indian #Mahāyāna doctrines and #ChinesePhilosophy.

    In Michael Sandel the Chinese have found a guide through the ethical dilemmas created by their swift embrace of a market economy—one whose communitarian ideas resonate with China’s own rich, ancient philosophical traditions. This volume explores the connections and tensions revealed in this unlikely episode of Chinese engagement with the West.
