This engaging work of comparative philosophy brings together
American pragmatism and Chinese philosophy in a way that generates
new interpretations of Chinese philosophy and a fresh perspective
on issues in process philosophy. Through an analysis of key terms,
Haiming Wen argues that Chinese philosophical terminology is not
simply a retrospective language that through a process of
stipulation promises us knowledge of an existing world, but is also
an open, prospective vocabulary that through productive
associations allows philosophers to realize a desired world.
Relying on this productive power of Chinese terminology, Wen
introduces a new term: 'Confucian pragmatism.' Wen convincingly
shows that although there is much that distinguishes American
pragmatism from Confucian philosophy, there is enough conceptual
overlap to make Confucian pragmatism a viable and exciting field of
study.
