Anne Cheng is a specialist in the intellectual history of China at the Collège de France.
For more than forty years, she has carried out her teaching and research work on the intellectual history of China, in particular on Confucianism, first within the framework of the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), then from Inalco (National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations), before being appointed to the Institut universitaire de France and, shortly after, elected to the Collège de France.
She is the author in particular of a French translation of the Analects of Confucius, a study on Confucianism from the beginning of the imperial era and a History of Chinese thought translated into numerous European and Oriental languages. She has also edited several collective works, including Thought in China Today (Gallimard, 2007), Readings and Uses of the Great Study: China, Korea, Japan (Collège de France, 2015), India-China: Intersecting Universalities (OpenEdition Books, 2020), Historians of Asia on Political Violence (OpenEdition Books, 2021), Thinking in China (Gallimard, 2021), Autour du Traité des rites (Hémisphères, 2022).
