Jiang is the first scholar specializing in Chinese philosophy to hold a faculty appointment in one of the world’s top three philosophy departments. His second book, *Origins of Moral-Political Philosophy in Early China* (Oxford University Press, 2021), is widely regarded as one of the most influential works on Chinese philosophy published in the past three or four decades. In 2023, it received an honorable mention for the Joseph Levenson Prize from the Association for Asian Studies—the first work of philosophy to earn this distinction. Reviewers have hailed the book as a game changer, an instant classic, a sweeping and rigorously argued work, and a must-read for students and scholars of China’s intellectual history. Tao Jiang’s first book is *Contexts and Dialogue: Yogācāra Buddhism and Modern Psychology on the Subliminal Mind* (University of Hawaii Press, 2006). It is the first and only book that seeks to systematically compare and contrast the key Yogācāra Buddhist notion of storehouse consciousness and modern psychoanalytical conceptions of the unconscious. Tao Jiang is also the lead editor of *The Reception and Rendition of Freud in China: China’s Freudian Slips* (Routledge, 2013). #### Public scholarship and cross-cultural philosophy Beyond his formal scholarship, Tao Jiang has made significant contributions to public intellectual life and to the advancement of cross-cultural philosophy. He was invited to record a series of conversations on Chinese and Buddhist philosophy with journalist Robert Lawrence Kuhn for the PBS program *Closer to Truth*. He has also been invited to give talks on Chinese philosophy at the Asia Society and the China Institute, two prominent U.S. institutions devoted to fostering public understanding of Asia and China. He is the founder and co-director of the Rutgers Workshop on Chinese Philosophy, established to promote greater diversity within the discipline of philosophy in the United States. The workshop has since become a major forum for cross-cultural philosophical exchange. He also serves on the editorial boards of leading journals in Chinese and Buddhist philosophy. Since 2010, he has co-chaired the Neo-Confucian Studies Seminar at Columbia University. #### Academic leadership and professional service Tao Jiang has also demonstrated sustained leadership in academic administration and professional service. He served for nine years as chair of the Department of Religion and has directed the Rutgers Center for Chinese Studies since 2017. At the national level, he served on the Program Committee of the American Academy of Religion, which oversees an annual meeting of approximately 10,000 participants, evaluates program units, and develops policies governing the organization. He also co-chaired two AAR program units: the Buddhist Philosophy Unit and the Religions in Chinese and Indian Cultures Group, later renamed the Indian and Chinese Religions in Dialogue Unit. He served on the Committee of the Status of Asian and Asian-American Philosophies and Philosophers at the American Philosophical Association (APA). - [About Tao Jiang](https://taojiangscholar.com/about/) — Biography, appointments, research areas, and current projects. - [Selected Papers](https://taojiangscholar.com/papers/) — Publications in Chinese philosophy, Buddhist philosophy, and comparative philosophy. - [Academic Events](https://taojiangscholar.com/events/) — Selected lectures, interviews, workshops, and public events. - [Origins of Moral-Political Philosophy in Early China: Contestation of Humaneness, Justice, and Personal Freedom](https://taojiangscholar.com/origins_of_chinese_phil/) - [Contexts and Dialogue: Yogācāra Buddhism and Modern Psychology on the Subliminal Mind](https://taojiangscholar.com/buddhism_and_psychology/) - [The Reception and Rendition of Freud in China: China’s Freudian Slip, edited by Tao Jiang and Philip J.
