This collection of essays, by Reding, in the emergent field of
Sino-Hellenic studies, explores the neglected inchoative strains of
rational thought in ancient China and compares them to similar
themes in ancient Greek thought, right at the beginnings of
philosophy in both cultures. Reding develops and defends the bold
hypothesis that Greek and Chinese rational thinking are one and the
same phenomenon. Rather than stressing the extreme differences
between these two cultures - as most other writings on these
subjects - Reding looks for the parameters that have to be restored
to see the similarities. Reding maintains that philosophy is like
an unknown continent discovered simultaneously in both China and
Greece, but from different starting-points. The book comprises
seven essays moving thematically from conceptual analysis, logic
and categories to epistemology and ontology, with an incursion in
the field of comparative metaphorology. One of the book's main
concerns is a systematic examination of the problem of linguistic
relativism through many detailed examples.
