Personal profile
Chenshan Tian earned his Ph.D. in Political Science
from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and he has lived, taught and given
public lectures in Hawai’i, in North Dakota, and in China. Professor Tian
started his teaching career in China at Beijing Foreign Studies University in
2005 and is currently the Director of the Center for East-West Relations, which
operates under the egis of the School of International Relations and Diplomacy
at BFSU. In October 2009, Dr. Tian was elected to the post of Director of the
International Confucian Association. As a contemporary Chinese-American
academic, Chenshan Tian specializes in comparative Western and Chinese
political philosophy. Recently,his research has focused on exploring the
differences between Eastern and Western world views, alternative ways of
thinking, and different forms of scientific understanding. His book,Chinese Dialectics: From Yijing to Marxism,
focuses on explaining the fundamental differences between Chinese and Western
Marxism. This work makes the simple but profound observation that much of the
history of Western thought, including scientific thought, has essentially been
derived from, and limited by the Christian faith in a transcendent “God.” This
model can be expanded to involve an ontology of Being and Nonbeing, a
teleological order from beginning to end, and a plethora of dualisms, such as a
final distinction betweenthe natural world andhuman
culture, time and space, mind and body, ontology and epistemology, and so on.
Tian advocates an intellectual world derived from theYijing, which seems much more in tune with the mysteries of organic
life, with human behavior, and with the nature of material and energy inherent
in quantum mechanics and in the relativity theories of modern physics.
