520 |a The twelfth-century Neo-Confucian philosopher, Zhu Xi, has often been compared to the thirteenth-century Christian philosopher, Thomas Aquinas. In this essay, I explore the similarities between these two thinkers, focusing on their respective accounts of the metaphysical foundations of moral self-cultivation. I suggest that both philosophers play similar roles within their respective traditions and share similar aims. In general, both philosophers seek to appropriate ideas of rival intellectual traditions in order to extend the moral vision of their home traditions, and both hope to achieve their goals without denying the primary orientations of those traditions. Zhu Xi and Aquinas are shown to employ similar strategies, and to make use of similar metaphysical principles, to unite the humanistic and spiritual dimensions of moral self-cultivation into one synthetic vision. I will conclude by offering some reflections on the following questions: (1) what can the Neo-Confucian and the Thomist ethical traditions learn from one another? And (2) what can those of us engaged in inter-cultural philosophical and religious dialogue learn from the masters of these traditions?
