Beyond the Ghetto No. 23
July 27, 2024
I’m proud to have been featured author for Beyond the Ghetto Episode No. 23, in which I presented Freedom’s Frailty: Self-Realization in the Neo-Daoist Philosophy of Guo Xiang’s Zhuangzi (SUNY Press, 2024). In my conversation with Mx. Ingrid Mae De Jesus, we discussed the emergence of classical Chinese, metaphysical and political freedom, and Guo Xiang’s third possibility for Isaiah Berlin’s dichotomy between positive and negative liberty.

My book Freedom’s Frailty: Self-Realization in the Neo-Daoist Philosophy of Guo Xiang’s Zhuangzi (SUNY Press, 2024) was launched with a New Books in Philosophy interview. With host Malcolm Keating, I discuss the importance of exploring Guo Xiang’s thought in its own right as not just a commentator of Zhuangzi, but as the locus of his own systematic approach to medieval Chinese political philosophy.

I had the opportunity to discuss Indian philosophy’s overlaps with Chinese philosophy with host of Sutras and Stuff, Malcolm Keating. As part of his exploration into Yale-NUS College’s pedagogical experiment in building a broader, global approach to philosophical training, we explored how my own experiences as a teacher in that program demonstrate what universities still have to learn about Indian and Chinese philosophy.
