Oneness: East Asian Conceptions of Virtue, Happiness, and How We Are All Connected de Philip J. Ivanhoe

Oneness: East Asian Conceptions of Virtue, Happiness, and How We Are All Connected

Autor Philip J. Ivanhoe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 ian 2018

Descoperim în Oneness o analiză riguroasă ce pornește de la intersecția dintre filozofia morală, psihologia socială și studiile culturale, oferind o perspectivă integrată asupra modului în care ne raportăm la comunitate și mediu. Remarcăm efortul autorului Philip J. Ivanhoe de a deconstrui premisa autonomiei absolute a individului, propunând în schimb un model de interconectare profundă, specific tradițiilor de gândire din Asia de Est. Această lucrare nu se limitează la o expunere istorică, ci investighează modul în care conceptul de unitate poate redefini fericirea și virtutea în contextul contemporan.

Notăm cu interes structura argumentației care evită capcana asimetriei teoretice. În loc să analizeze textele orientale prin prisma categoriilor kantiene sau utilitariste, Ivanhoe permite conceptelor asiatice să dicteze cadrul de dezbatere. Acest demers extinde cadrul propus de Against Individualism de Henry Rosemont Jr. cu date noi din tradiția neo-confucianistă și taoistă, oferind o alternativă viabilă la viziunea atomistă asupra societății. Stilul este academic, însă extrem de precis, fiind ancorat în decenii de cercetare asupra eticii virtuții.

Poziționăm acest volum ca un punct de sinteză în opera autorului. Dacă în The Daodejing of Laozi sau Ethics in the Confucian Tradition, Ivanhoe se concentra pe exegeză și traducere, în Oneness el utilizează aceste fundamente pentru a lansa o critică constructivă la adresa teoriilor sociale moderne. Este o evoluție naturală de la interpretarea textelor clasice spre aplicarea lor practică în filozofia cross-culturală, oferind cititorului un instrumentar conceptual necesar pentru a înțelege complexitatea identității umane dincolo de granițele culturale occidentale.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte se adresează cercetătorilor și studenților la filozofie sau științe sociale care doresc să depășească limitele individualismului metodologic. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a conceptului de interconectare est-asiatic, primind o alternativă teoretică solidă la modelele de fericire bazate pe ego. Este o recomandare esențială pentru cei interesați de etica virtuții și de modul în care tradițiile vechi pot soluționa crizele de identitate și de relaționare ale lumii moderne.

Despre autor

Philip J. Ivanhoe este profesor de filozofie la City University of Hong Kong, fiind recunoscut la nivel internațional ca unul dintre cei mai importanți interpreți și traducători ai textelor clasice chinezești. Expertiza sa vastă acoperă confucianismul, taoismul și neo-confucianismul, fiind autorul unor antologii de referință precum Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy. Prin lucrările sale, Ivanhoe a facilitat dialogul dintre etica virtuții occidentală și gândirea asiatică, punând accent pe rigoarea lingvistică și pe contextul istoric al ideilor, elemente care transpar și în analiza sa asupra conceptului de unitate.

Descriere

At the center of a constellation of key ideas in East Asian philosophical traditions, there lies a conception of oneness among human beings. Human beings are intricately and inextricably intertwined and share a common destiny with other people, creatures, and things. The ramifications of this idea are wide-reaching, and resonate with important debates and concerns in contemporary Western philosophy, but many at the forefront of their fields in the West are unaware of the fundamental shift in perspective that might be available to them. One of Ivanhoe's aims in this work is to challenge the dominant paradigm of hyper-individualism, which still enjoys a commanding position in a great deal of contemporary theory and practice in the humanities and social sciences, and to describe and advocate for an alternative conception and sense of self, world, and the relationship between them.In particular, Ivanhoe, who has an extensive background in and has published influential work on virtue ethics and Asian philosophy, investigates the implications of oneness for conceptions of the self, virtue, and human happiness. Through the lens of oneness, he explores topics such as conceptions of the self, selfishness and self-centeredness, virtues, spontaneity, and happiness, drawing support from wide-ranging, interdisciplinary sources. Rather than starting from the standpoint of Western philosophy and then reaching out to Asian philosophy from a distance, Ivanhoe advances a thesis drawn from East Asian sources and explicitly challenges the theoretical asymmetry that is characteristic of most comparative study, which often simply applies Western theories to non-Western material.

Recenzii

In his discussion of the mechanics of (neo-)Confucian soteriology, Ivanhoe brings in a wide array of Western philosophemes past and present as well as related contributions from the sciences, rendering this an insightful comparative read.
Oneness tells the real story of human understanding and flourishing, that it is rooted in the underlying unity of all things. An essential reading in a time of rampant fears about social, political and ecological disruption.
In this book, P. J. Ivanhoe presents and explores the 'oneness hypothesis.' Not a single hypothesis but a family of views, the oneness hypothesis asserts that nature, people, and creatures are deeply interconnected and that our personal happiness is especially dependent upon these ties. Ivanhoe masterfully draws on eastern and western philosophy as well as psychology, with special attention to the implications of neo-Confucian thinking about oneness. The book is a must-read for anyone seriously interested in conceptions of virtue and happiness, but will have special value to those seeking to learn more about non-western traditions and their implications for contemporary western philosophical thought.
This book is truly a model of interdisciplinary work, and it will have broad appeal to scholars and students in the humanities and the social sciences, and to wider audiences beyond the academy, as well. At a time when we are reconsidering questions of diversity and difference, this book presents the views of different cultures and traditions around the world on topics that are of concern to all. The author shows that by thinking from and through the perspectives of traditional Asian thinkers, we can formulate views of oneness that can make significant contributions to contemporary debates about who we are and how we are related to the people, creatures, and natural world around us." —Erin Cline, Associate Professor of Comparative Ethics, Georgetown University
This book is a truly outstanding model of the sort of cross-cultural philosophy that draws from the deep and fundamental insights of one tradition to engage productively with contemporary issues, both by bringing new arguments to bear and, importantly, by setting research agendas for future work in both mainstream and comparative ethics, as I expect that the book will do. Among the works that bridge philosophical traditions, few have the sort of agenda-setting potential that this one does. The book is also written in a highly accessible and engaging manner, so that readers of all kinds will profit from it, even those with no prior exposure to Neo-Confucianism. For all of these reasons it stands well above and apart from other work that bridges Chinese and contemporary Western philosophy." —Justin Tiwald, Department of Philosophy, San Francisco State University
