SUMMARY:Pure Sentiment and Strained Reasoning: An Exploration of Neo-Confuc
 ian Liu Jishan’s Moral Psychology
DESCRIPTION:This talk attempts to examine the contribution made by late Min
 g Neo-Confucianist Liu Jishan (1578-1645) in producing lasting insights on
  human moral psychological mechanisms. Unlike Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming\, w
 ho maintained a more Kantian outlook in moral ethics\, Liu had instead dev
 eloped a more Humean-like model that places greater emphasis on the multip
 le facets of the affective faculties of the moral mind. According to Liu\,
  human emotions possess self-regulatory functions\, a postulation which pa
 rtly forms the basis of morality. In contrast\, the growth of evil associa
 tes closely with the misuse of human rationality. By incorporating the lat
 est theories in moral psychology\, I argue that the core of Liu’s philos
 ophy represents a form of Confucian moral sentimentalism. Naturally\, the 
 introduction of Liu’s philosophy would require this paper to explicate L
 iu’s position\, however\, it also undertakes the broader aim at engaging
  the philosophy of ancient Chinese thinkers like Liu in a modern\, cross-c
 ultural\, and interdisciplinary philosophical dialogue.
