田浩

Tian Hao is an author about whom limited public information is available; the main clues currently confirmed come from three works in the library. His writing spans two fields: intellectual history and applied psychology. In Utilitarian Confucianism: Chen Liang's Challenge to Zhu Xi, he discusses a major divergence in Southern Song intellectual history, while Cultural Power and Political Culture: The Problems of the Mean and the Confucian Orthodoxy during the Song, Jin, and Yuan Periods extends the scope to examine how issues of the Mean and orthodoxy relate to cultural power and political culture in that era. These two works show his attention to Eastern philosophy and cultural questions, approached through specific historical problems rather than broad generalities. He is also the author of Brief Talks and Consultation on Extraordinary Psychology, indicating that his writing also touches on applied psychology. Because information such as dates of birth and death, nationality, and educational background is unavailable, his personal experience cannot be described in detail, but the subjects of his works already sketch the profile of an author moving between traditional thought and contemporary psychological topics.
