"Beyond Oneness and Difference" considers the development of one of
the key concepts of Chinese intellectual history, "Li." A grasp of
the strange history of this term and its seemingly conflicting
implications as oneness and differentiation, as the knowable and as
what transcends knowledge, as the good and as the transcendence of
good and bad, as order and as omnipresence raises questions about
the most basic building blocks of our thinking. This exploration
began in the book s companion volume, " Ironies of Oneness and
Difference," which detailed how formative Confucian and Daoist
thinkers approached and demarcated concepts of coherence, order,
and value, identifying both ironic and non-ironic trends in the
elaboration of these core ideas. In the present volume, Brook
Ziporyn goes on to examine the implications of Li as they develop
in Neo-Daoist metaphysics and in Chinese Buddhism, ultimately
becoming foundational to Song and Ming dynasty Neo-Confucianism,
the orthodox ideology of late imperial China. Ziporyn s
interrogation goes beyond analysis to reveal the unsuspected range
of human thinking on these most fundamental categories of ontology,
metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics."
