Reading Ji Kang's Essays by David Chai

This book offers the first systematic treatment of Ji Kang's philosophy, filling a significant gap in English-language scholarship on early medieval Chinese literature and philosophy. Chai brings to light Ji Kangs Neo-Daoist heritage and explores his philosophical reflections on music, aesthetics, ethics, self-cultivation, and fate.

David Chai is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the author of Zhuangzi and the Becoming of Nothingness (2019) and editor of Daoist Encounters with Phenomenology: Thinking Interculturally about Human Existence (2020) and Dao Companion to Xuanxue [Neo-Daoism] (2020). Professor Chai is also the author of numerous papers on Chinese and comparative philosophy.
