424Zhu Xi’s Spiritual Practice as the Basis of His Central Philosophical ConceptsDao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy 7 (1): 57-79. 2008.The argument is that (1) the spiritual crisis that Zhu Xi discussed with Zhang Shi 張栻 (1133–1180) and the other “gentlemen of Hunan” from about 1167 to 1169, which was resolved by an understanding of what we might call the interpenetration of the mindâs stillness and activity (dong-jing åé) or equilibrium and harmony (zhong-he ä¸å), (2) led directly to his realization that Zhou Dunyiâs thought provided a cosmological basis for that resolution, and (3) this in turn led Zhu Xi to unders…Read more

17Sung Dynasty Uses of the I ChingPrinceton University Press. 1990.The I Ching, or Book of Changes, has been one of the two or three most influential books in the Chinese canon.

5Chance and Necessity in Zhu Xi’s Conceptions of Heaven and TraditionEuropean Journal for Philosophy of Religion 8 (1): 143--162. 2016.Discussion of the relationship between chance and necessity in the West goes back at least to Democritus in the fifth century BCE, and was highlighted again in the twentieth century by Jacques Monod in Chance and Necessity. Monod contrasted “teleonomic‘ biological evolution with “teleologic‘ Biblical theology. This article uses that distinction in examining Zhu Xi’s concepts of Heaven and tradition. The result sheds light on the unique combination of rationality and transcendence in Neo-Confucia…Read more
