Since the end of the nineteenth century, Chinese philosophy has
experienced an intensely self-conscious creative transformation.
Contemporary Chinese philosophers developed sophisticated positions
in many central areas of philosophy and set out to reinterpret the
complex inheritance of ancient Chinese philosophy. "
Contemporary Chinese Philosophy" features leading scholars
describing and critically assessing the works of sixteen major
twentieth-century Chinese philosophers. The book explores these
philosophers' attempts to revive and modernize the Confucian,
Daoist, Mohist, Legalist, Logicist, Neo-Confucian, and Buddhist
schools as well as their critiques of Western thinkers from Plato
to Wittgenstein. It demonstrates that the values and achievements
of Chinese philosophers offer a gateway to understanding the
development of Chinese views of humanity and reality.
This volume enables students and general readers to understand
the rich and challenging diversity of issues and positions explored
in contemporary Chinese philosophy.
