Dr. Simon Cox is a Kung Fu teacher who lives in British Columbia.  He lived in Wudang from 2008 to 2014 and finished his Ph.D. in the History of Religions at Rice University in 2019.  He recently published his thesis: The Subtle Body: A Genealogy (OUP 2022) and is currently working on a compilation of translations of inner alchemical texts.

In his lecture, Dr. Cox will discuss his six years living in China, studying inner alchemy and his subsequent book The Subtle Body: A Genealogy (OUP 2022).  In this work, he delves into the categories: neoplatonic, theosophical, and orientalist, through which subtle bodies have been traditionally understood in the West, while exploring the hermeneutical loops in which we are all caught.
