Gregory S Moss is currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), where he was first appointed in the fall of 2016. Prior to joining CUHK, he served as a lecturer in philosophy at Clemson University from 2014-2016. He completed his PhD in philosophy in August 2014 under the supervision of Distinguished Research Professor.
Moss's research primarily focuses on German Idealism, particularly Hegel and Schelling, and comparative philosophy between Western and Eastern traditions, especially the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy. His work explores complex philosophical concepts including absolute dialetheism, negation, mythical symbolism, and the intersections between Zen Buddhism and German philosophical traditions. He has made significant contributions to understanding how concepts from German philosophy were appropriated and transformed within non-Western frameworks.
Moss's scholarly output demonstrates a consistent engagement with metaphysical questions, particularly concerning the nature of being, contradiction, and absolute knowledge. His publications reveal a trajectory from examining German philosophical traditions to developing comparative frameworks that bridge Eastern and Western thought. A notable pattern in his work is the exploration of how philosophical traditions can transcend their original cultural contexts while maintaining distinctive insights.
