This new English translation of Francois Jullien's work is a
compelling summation of his thinking on the comparison between
Western and Chinese thought. The title, From Being to Living,
summarises his essential point: that western thinking is obsessed
by - and determined as well as limited by - the notion of Being,
whereas traditional Chinese thought was always situated in Living.
Organized as a lexicon around some 20 concepts that juxtapose
Chinese and Western thought, Jullien explores the ways the two have
historically evolved, and how many aspects of Chinese thought
developed in complete isolation from the West, revealing a
different way of relating to the world. Translated by Michael
Richardson and Krzysztof Fijalkowski, this text explores Chinese
thinking and language in order to excavate elements from them that
reveal the fault lines of western thinking. This is an important
book for students, scholars and practitioners alike across the
Social Sciences.
