Wenqing Zhao

I am an Assistant Philosophy in Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY), Baruch College. 

I work at the intersection of Chinese philosophy, philosophy of mind, and ethics, with a particular interest in moral psychology and the normative dimensions of emotional life. I also do research in the Chinese history of political philosophy.  My broader aim is to bring early Chinese philosophical resources into sustained conversation with current work in moral philosophy, political philosophy, and the philosophy of mind.

My name, Wenqing, is pronounced roughly “Wen-ching.” In Chinese, it can be read as meaning something like “a clearly written article.”
