Lionel Jensen

Prof. Dr. Lionel Jensen is a scholar specializing in the intellectual history of China. His research examines the works and legacy of Confucian scholar Zhu Xi (1130–1200), exploring how Chinese intellectuals engaged with divination and mythology. He served as a Visiting Fellow at the IKGF (likely an institute within a university) in 2011, where he contributed to redefining the classification of 'Chinese intellectuals' beyond traditional philosophical boundaries. His work bridges historical analysis with cultural studies, challenging conventional narratives about Chinese philosophy.
