Traditional Chinese philosophy, if engaged at all, is often
regarded as an object of antiquated curiosity and dismissed as
unimportant in the current age of globalization. Written by a team
of internationally renowned scholars, this book, however,
challenges this judgement and offers an in-depth study of
pre-modern Chinese philosophy from an interdisciplinary
perspective. Exploring the relevance of traditional Chinese
philosophy for the global age, it takes a comparative approach,
analysing ancient Chinese philosophy in its relation to Western
ideas and contemporary postmodernist theories. The conversation
extends over a broad spectrum of philosophical areas and themes,
ranging from metaphysics, hermeneutics, political theory, religion
and aesthetics to specific philosophical schools including
Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. By engaging many time-honoured
philosophical issues from a comparative perspective, this book
bridges the gap between Eastern and Western thought and emphasises
the need for a newly fortified global humanism and a deeper
appreciation of different philosophical and religious values in an
age gripped by large-scale crises. Arguing that traditional Chinese
philosophy has immediate relevance to the many challenges of modern
life, this book will be useful to students and scholars of Asian
Philosophy and Asian Studies in general.
