Jizhang Yi (PhD, University of Toronto) is an adjunct professor at the University of Toronto, whose research covers philosophical theology, comparative philosophy, cognitive science, and AI ethics. He is particularly focused on integrating Chinese and Western philosophical traditions. In his forthcoming book, Truth and Subjectivity (Springer Nature, 2025), Yi uses Conceptual Metaphor Theory from cognitive linguistics to explore Kierkegaard’s existential philosophy alongside Chan/Zen Buddhist thought, providing new perspectives on contemporary ethical issues. He started learning to play Shakuhachi as a practice of Chan/Zen meditation in Vancouver in 2015. He has also been playing Guqin (an ancient Chinese instrument) since 2009.
