John A. Tucker, PhD
Tucker completed his PhD at Columbia University (1990), with a specialization in Sino-Japanese Confucianism. Earlier, at the University of Hawaii, he studied East Asian philosophy and East Asian history. As an undergraduate at Davidson College (1977), Tucker majored in history. Tucker has also conducted research at Kyoto University’s Institute for Research in the Humanities on a number of occasions. Tucker taught at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida (1990-2000), before joining the history faculty at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, his hometown, in the fall semester of 2000. He has published articles in journals such as Philosophy East & West, the Journal of Chinese Philosophy, Asian Philosophy, the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Chinese Culture, Sino-Japanese Studies, and Japan Studies Review. Tucker has published two books: Itō Jinsai's Gomō jigi and the Philosophical Definition of Early-Modern Japan (Brill, 1998), and Ogyū Sorai's Philosophical Masterworks: The Bendō and Benmei (University of Hawai'i Press, 2006). He is currently working on several projects: one tentatively entitled, Confucianism and Skepticism, another, Yamaga Sokō and the Invention of Bushidō, and an anthology Dao: Companion to Japanese Confucian Philosophy. Tucker is director of the ECU Asian Studies Program sponsored by the Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences. He has also served as director of the Harriot College’s lecture series, the Voyages of Discovery Lecture Series, since the founding of the series in 2007.
