Roger T. Ames (born 12 December 1947) is a Canadian-born philosopher, translator, and author. He is Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University in Beijing, China, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, and a Berggruen Fellow. He is known for developing a process-relational reading of early Chinese thought and for his programmatic critique of interpreting Chinese philosophy through fixed Western metaphysical categories, especially in his work on Confucian role ethics and his philosophically oriented translations of classical texts.
