Dr Guanghui Cui is an adjunct faculty with PHDC program at Sofia. He is associate professor in Nanjing Normal University. His research involves the history, theory, and practice of phenomenological psychology. After completing his dissertation on the history of phenomenological psychology from the viewpoint of Husserlian phenomenology, he became concerned about the postcolonial intellectual situation of Chinese psychology. This downward experience with postcolonialism led him to re-engage with traditional Chinese self-cultivation. Drawing on the theories of late Merleau-Ponty, late Foucault, and psychoanalysis, his current research focuses on the transformation of suffering in everyday cultivation, the idea of heaven-human in traditional Chinese psychology, and its decline in modern Chinese psychology.
