About the author

Chen Lisheng, about whom limited public information is available, focuses his research mainly on Confucian philosophy and phenomenology. Four of his works are included here: The Opportunity of Entering Sagehood: A Study of Wang Yangming's Theory of Extending Innate Knowledge, The Sense of Shame and Disgust: Studies of Classical Confucian Concepts from Multiple Perspectives, Self and World: A Study of the Phenomenological Movement Centered on Problems, and Wang Yangming's Theory of the Unity of All Things: From the Standpoint of Body-Person (revised edition). These works show that he tends to explore topics centered on Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind, classical Confucian moral concepts, and the phenomenological movement. He often takes specific problems as his point of entry and combines intellectual history with philosophical analysis, with his books appearing under such categories as Eastern philosophy and popular science. His writing emphasizes conceptual clarification and scholarly exposition and is suitable for readers interested in Confucian theories of moral cultivation and comparative phenomenological studies.
