SUMMARY:Asian Studies Speaker Series: Lisa Raphals on “Psychosomas in Early Chin
a: Another Viewpoint on Tripartitism”
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Department of Asian Studies presents the inaugural spe
aker in its new Speaker Series: Lisa Raphals (University of California\,
Riverside and Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies) on “Psychosomas in E
arly China: Another Viewpoint on Tripartitism”.\n\nRaphals is a renowned
expert on the comparative study of thought and culture in both ancient
China and Ancient Greece. This talk uses evidence from early China to re
flect on a longstanding philosophical problem arising out of Greek antiq
uity. It begins with evidence that in early China\, there were two very
different views of a person\, understood as composed of body (ti 體\, sh
ēn 身\, xing 形)\, mind (xin 心) and spirit (shén 神). In one\, which can b
e called a mind-centered view\, mind-and spirit combined to rule the bod
y. This view is very compatible with Eurocentric mind-body dualism. In
a very different spirit-centered view\, all three were distinct\, often
with pride of place given to spirit over mind. The second part of the t
alk uses the Chinese divergence between mind- and spirit-centered views
to reconsider the Greek discourse on body and soul (sōma-psychē).”\n\nFo
