Contemporary scholars of Chinese philosophy often presuppose that
early China possessed a naturalistic worldview, devoid of any
non-natural concepts, such as transcendence. Challenging this
presupposition head-on, Joshua R. Brown and Alexus McLeod argue
that non-naturalism and transcendence have a robust and significant
place in early Chinese thought. This book reveals that
non-naturalist positions can be found in early Chinese texts, in
topics including conceptions of the divine, cosmogony, and
apophatic philosophy. Moreover, by closely examining a range of
early Chinese texts, and providing comparative readings of a number
of Western texts and thinkers, the book offers a way of reading
early Chinese Philosophy as consistent with the religious
philosophy of the East and West, including the Abrahamic and the
Brahmanistic religions. Co-written by a philosopher and theologian,
this book draws out unique insights into early Chinese thought,
highlighting in particular new ways to consider a range of Chinese
concepts, including tian, dao, li, and you/wu.
