Stanford Encyclopedia Chinese Philosophy Entries (call for suggestions)

We are seeking to expand the Stanford Encyclopedia list of entries in Chinese philosophy, and are seeking suggestions.  We are aware there are many gaps in the coverage and we have some topics in mind already.  However, we thought we should also ask for suggestions from members of this group, on entries that would be helpful.  Please keep your suggestions brief and please bear in mind the nature of the SEP and its readership (https://plato.stanford.edu/about.html). We welcome suggestions on topics as well as authors.  The current list is appended below for your reference.

Best wishes,

  3. Thank you all. v helpful. Suggestions for authors to write particular entries are also welcome!

    @Harvey – you’re right about the Xunzi entry by Paul Goldin. Should have been on the list.

  4. I find the “Caigentan” to be a marvelous resource, especially for anyone interested in running an Asian thought class in the currently popular “Philosophy as a Way of Life”- manner— it reminds me of reading Marcus Aurelius at times. So, it might be nice to have an entry on it or on its author, Hong Zicheng.

  5. My students and I use the SEP a lot, and I think it is such an extremely valuable platform for public education on philosophy. I hope there is a similar platform for the discipline of religious studies, but it turns out no. I would like to recommend a few people (if not too brash, including myself) for the mentioned entries:

    JeeLoo Liu, for the entry of Wang Fuzhi.
    Alexus McLeod, for the entry of Wang Chong.
    Gino LaPaglia (National Intelligence University), for the entry of Military Thought.
    Stephen C. Walker (Chicago U), for the entry of Guo Xiang.
    Tony Swain, for the entry of Ruism and Confucianism.
    Bin Song, for the entry of Quiet-sitting and Contemplative Practices in Neo-Confucianism.

    Thanks!
