    In recent years, the adverse implications of organizational identification (OID) have received significant attention in the field of organizational behavior research, particularly as it is considered a critical factor in unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Nevertheless, the findings of previous studies are inconsistent. To explain these discrepancies, we performed a meta-analysis of 54 independent studies from January 2010 to April 2023, comprising a total of 14,836 samples, to investig…Read more

    It has been three decades since comparative philosophers began to associate the Confucian concept of ren 仁 with contemporary Western care ethics. It would be useful to revisit the issue and to reassess related debates. In this essay, I first contextualize this discourse by tracing the emergence of care as a philosophical concept in the West and explicate the Confucian concept of ren in terms of care as it is formulated in classic texts. Then I respond to challenges, including opposing views from…Read more

    The Sequential Problem of the Eight Human Aims in the Great Learning
    Philosophy East and West 73 (2): 326-344. 2023.
    Abstract:The Confucian classic Great Learning (Daxue 大學) articulates in a sequence eight human aims for the good life. There have been various interpretations of the relations of these aims. This essay problematizes these interpretations and proposes a solution that the sequence of these Confucian human aims is developmentally temporal yet not stage-exclusive. I illustrate such an account by drawing on the model of Erik Erikson's developmental theory. Accordingly, while there is a temporal progr…Read more

    The title of this essay has a twofold meaning, as does the word “end.” The word “end” means the last part of an extended thing or a period of time. A cessation. “End” also means the purpose and goal of an effort or a course of action. Bearing in mind this double meaning, I will spend this essay arguing that firstly, the emergence and the rapid advancement of AI technology means the end of humanity in an important sense.
