简历

My interest in philosophy was kindled during high school when I encountered an introductory work on the Zhuangzi, leading me to study philosophy at CUHK. As I approached the end of my undergraduate studies, I felt a growing affinity for ethics, which prompted my decision to pursue an MPhil at CUHK. In 2011-12, I received the Balzan Fellowship, funding my study at NYU. There, influenced by the faculty, I found my academic interest evolving toward metaethics. Upon returning from the US, I began teaching courses in Ethics, Critical Thinking, and Chinese Culture and Philosophy. My research interest in Chinese Philosophy was later ignited by Hu Shi’s works, leading me to undertake a PhD at HKU where I explored Dai Zhen’s approach to metaethics and its influence on Zhang Xuecheng and Jiao Xun.

In 2023, I joined the CUHK Philosophy Department, with my research primarily focusing on late imperial Confucianism. My current work delves into the philosophies of scholars from the Qianlong-Jiaqing period. Regarding teaching, my aim is to make Chinese Philosophy more accessible to students worldwide, thereby enriching their understanding of not just Chinese, but the broader East-Asian culture.
