Abstract

Chapter 1 lays out the dominant views of self, agency, and moral responsibility in early Chinese philosophy. The reason for this is that these views inform the ways early Chinese thinkers approach mental illness, as well as the role they see it playing in self-cultivation as a whole (whether they view it as problematic or beneficial, for example). This chapter offers a view of a number of dominant conceptions of mind, body, and agency in early Chinese thought, through a number of philosophical and medical texts. It covers the Confucian view of personhood as role-based and communal, and the Zhuangist deconstructive view of the self. Finally, the chapter includes an argument that early Chinese thinkers recognized a distinction between mind and body, and that mind was dealt with as a separate category, thus making the topic of “mental illness” possible.

自我,身心,能动性
第一章阐述了中国早期哲学中关于自我、能动性和道德责任的主流观点。这样做的原因是,这些观点告诉了早期中国思想家对待精神疾病的方式,以及他们认为精神疾病在整体自我修养中所起的作用(例如,他们认为精神疾病是有问题的还是有益的)。本章通过一些哲学和医学文献,介绍了中国早期思想中关于心灵、身体和能动的一些主要概念。它涵盖了儒家的以角色为基础和集体的人格观,以及庄家对自我的解构观。最后,这一章包括一个论点,即早期中国思想家认识到精神和身体之间的区别,并且将精神作为一个单独的类别进行处理,从而使“精神疾病”这一主题成为可能。
