Rezensionen

"This 'showcase' for modern Chinese philosophy will finally dispelthe common western perception that nothing has happened in Chinesephilosophy since the sixteenth century other than the emergence ofa regimented, monochromatic Marxism. In this immaculately editedvolume, its mainly Chinese contributors testify to the immensevariety of contemporary Chinese philosophy and to the willingnessof its leading figures to enrich their own traditions throughcritical dialogue with western ones. The volume deserves to inspirea reciprocal willingness among western philosophers." David E.Cooper, Durham University

'Must' readingfor serious students and scholars interested in Chinese philosophy"Antonio S. Cua, Catholic University of America
