Alexus McLeod studies philosophy across non-Western traditions, especially early Chinese thought, along with comparative work on Maya philosophy and other cultural traditions. A major focus is how classical Chinese texts conceptualized madness, mental illness, self, and mind, connecting philosophy with historical understandings of psychiatry. Additional work examines topics such as martial arts, cultural identity, and Confucian and Mohist ethics.
