The early chapters illustrate this theme via comparisons between Chinese and Western philosophy. It is argued that the Chinese notion of a heart-mind is superior to the Western concept of mind, but then, more even-handedly, the relative strengths and weaknesses of Chinese and Western thought overall are critically examined. In later chapters, the philosophical uses of psychology are treated more specifically in relation to major issues in Western philosophy. Michael Slote shows that empathy and emotion play a role in speech acts (like assertion and thanking) that speech act theory has totally ignored. Similarly, he treats the age-old question of whether justice pays using psychological material that has not previously been recognized. Finally, the implications of psychological egoism are discussed in terms of some new psychological and, indeed, human distinctions. Human life is pervaded by instincts and aspirations that are neither egoistic nor altruistic, and recognizing that fact can help put egoism in its place. It is less of a challenge to morality than we have realized.Palgrave Studies in Comparative East-West Philosophy,2662-2386Philosophy of mindEmotionsChinaHistoryPhilosophy of MindEmotionHistory of ChinaPhilosophy of mind.Emotions.ChinaHistory.Philosophy of Mind.Emotion.History of China.128.2128.2HIS008000PHI015000PSY013000bisacshSlote Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut899605MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910369899603321Between Psychology and Philosophy2010015UNINA
