Análisis y comparación del concepto de dao en las tres interpretaciones clásicas del Laozi. The concept of Dao in the three classical interpretations of the Laozi: An analysis and a comparison
No full textThe essay analyzes and compares the concept of Dao in the three most influential commentaries of the Laozi. In particular, it explores how different readings of Dao within the texts relate to different historical periods, traditions, goals, and authors of the commentaries. For example, the tradition of the Huang-Lao school, with its interest in cosmological theories and self-cultivation, permeates the Heshang gong commentary and its vision of Dao as an accessible and knowable cosmic principle. On the other hand, in the Xiang Er, the religious institution of the Celestial Masters, approaches the Laozi as a sacred text, and Dao as a divinity with its clear and intelligible precepts. Finally, the relative interpretative freedom of Wang Bi, devoid of orthodox exegetical influences, together with the search for internal coherence of the text, generates a totally different commentary from the earlier exegetical tradition. The Laozi becomes a manual of wisdom that reveals the Dao as the logical foundation of the world.Se analiza y compara el concepto de dao en los tres comentarios más influyentes del Laozi, y, en particular, cómo las distintas lecturas del dao en los tres textos se relacionan con diferentes épocas históricas, tradiciones, objetivos y autores de los comentarios. Por ejemplo, la tradición de la escuela Huang-Lao, con su interés en teorías cosmológicas y prácticas de autocultivo, impregna el comentario Heshang gong y su visión del dao como principio cósmico accesible y cognoscible. Por otra parte, en el Xiang Er, la institución religiosa de los Maestros Celestiales plasma el Laozi como texto sagrado y el dao como una divinidad con preceptos claros e inteligibles. A su vez, la relativa libertad interpretativa de Wang Bi, desprovista de influencias exegéticas ortodoxas, junto con la búsqueda de una coherencia interna en el texto, genera un comentario totalmente distinto de la tradición interpretativa anterior.

Looking for the Universal and Personal Dao: a LATAM Reading of the Laozi
No full textThe Laozi is among the most widely translated and studied texts in the field of Chinese studies. Nonetheless, research on its reception in different cultural contexts is a relatively new area of inquiry and predominantly limited to the Western (Anglo-European) world. Although Chinese studies is an emerging field within the Latin American (LATAM) academy, investigations into the reception history of Chinese pre-modern texts in the LATAM context are scarce and insufficiently documented. The history of the introduction and popularization of the Laozi in the LATAM subregion reflects the growing fascination among Latin American intellectuals toward "Oriental cultures" during the turn of the twentieth century. The "Orient," primarily represented by the classics, presented fresh worldviews that offered new spiritual and mystical experiences, inspiring new ideas for Latin Americans. This paper aims to recover a specific reading of the Laozi that gained popularity in the Latin American (LATAM) cultural context during the twentieh century, referred to as mystical/spiritual. I refer to this reading as mystical/spiritual, which, in my view, exhibits two primary characteristics: first, the universality of Laozi's message and second, the idea of Laozi as an individual and private experience. The former highlights the text beyond its cultural peculiarities, expressing a universal message that resonates with Latin American-specific concerns. An illustrative example is the interpretation of the concept of Dao as a transcultural mystical absolute. The latter characteristic pertains to the text as an individual and private experience, where its interpretation is subjective and adaptable to personal needs. Reading the Laozi provides access to the discovery of the "true self." This second characteristic is directly linked to self-cultivation practices emphasized in various Laozi translations produced in Latin America
Structuring Reality: The Metaphysics of Harmony in Zhang Zai’s Zhengmeng Philosophical System
No full textThe essay aims to analyze the concept and the paradigm of harmony in the metaphysical system of the Neo-Confucian philosopher Zhang Zai. It argues that Zhang Zai's concept of Great Harmony not only inherits the traditional centrality of this idea within the Confucian tradition, but actually presents the most advanced idea of harmony up to his time. In Zhang Zai's philosophy, harmony becomes the Way itself, which includes the realm of principles and the outward and functional manifestations of reality. This essay will deal with harmony in two ways: first with Zhang Zai's direct use of the concept in the Zhengmeng and second, applying the paradigm of harmony to other of Zhang Zai's key concepts such as qi , void (xu) and natural dispositions (xing)
Disgusting vegetables: Wuxin taboo in Daoist prescription’s texts
Full text linkPrecepts and taboos play a central role in the systematization of Daoist communities. On this set of rules hinges the development of various Daoist movements and the establishment of different Daoist schools. In this article, I investigate the proscriptions about the five pungent vegetables (wuxin 五辛 or wuhun 五葷, allium vegetables) consumption in Daoist early medieval prescription’s texts. Whereas previous scholarship has analyzed the influence of Buddhism in Daoist monastic rules, this paper turns the attention to the way in which the five pungent vegetables taboo was elaborated in Daoist discourse, especially in texts from the early medieval era. It argues that in Daoist prescription’s texts, the allium vegetables taboo is supported and justified by the aversive emotion of disgust. By describing the five pungent vegetables as polluted, defiled and even dangerous items, Daoist texts construct the perfect condition for their repulsion and the taboo's final systematizationUCR::Vicerrectoría de Docencia::Artes y Letras::Facultad de Letras::Escuela de Filosofí

Une identitè complexe masculinité, écriture et censure chez Julien Green
No full textJulien Green may be a good example of how to study the complex history of masculinity from a literary point of view. As a novelist and author of a huge autobiography and one of the most important diaries, Green never ceased to question the split between the public and private self, the strength and fragility of the masculinity. In the pages of his recently published complete diary covering the years 1919-1940, Green traces the truths and tricks of a fragile masculinity struggling to adhere to an already decaying model. I will proceed with my reflection in four parts, aimed at examining first the relationship between truth and dissimulation, then the question of wandering and the complex relation between love and desire, and finally the relation between intimate writing and publishing
