Philip J. Ivanhoe (born January 17, 1954) is an American sinologist and historian of Chinese thought, particularly of Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism.[1] He is a professor and chair of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Georgetown University.[2][3] Ivanhoe is perhaps best known for two claims: that Neo-Confucian philosophers such as Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming have systematically misinterpreted earlier Confucians such as Confucius himself, and Mengzi; and that Confucianism may usefully be understood as a version of virtue ethics.[4]
