The Handbook of Chinese Philosophy has recently been released online by Oxford University Press, with paper copies set to release in August. The handbook collects new work on important texts and figures in the history of Chinese thought. The chapters cover both well-known texts such as the Analects and the Zhuangzi and many of the lesser-known thinkers in the classical and postclassical Chinese tradition. Most of the chapters focus on thinkers or texts in one of three important historical movements. These include classical (“pre-Qin”) Chinese philosophy, Chinese Buddhism, and the Confucian response to Buddhism (“neo-Confucianism” broadly construed). Each chapter presents cutting-edge work on important topics in the Chinese tradition and yet is written for a general philosophical audience. For more information, please see this site, and the Table of Contents follows.The Rutgers University Department of Philosophy has produced summaries of the presentations and discussion from the 7th Rutgers Workshop on Chinese Philosophy (RWCP), “An International Conference on Moral Conflict in Early Chinese Philosophy.” The summaries were produced by the workshop’s rapporteurs, Frederick Choo and Esther Goh, who are doctoral candidates at Rutgers University Department of Philosophy.
