Brahman and Dao - Comparative Studies of Indian and Chinese Philosophy and Religion (Hardcover): Ithamar Theodor, Zhihua Yao Brahman and Dao - Comparative Studies of Indian and Chinese Philosophy and Religion (Hardcover)
Ithamar Theodor, Zhihua Yao; Contributions by Ram Nath Jha, Sophia Katz, Friederike Assandri, …
R3,018 Discovery Miles 30 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The present geopolitical rise of India and China evokes much interest in the comparative study of these two ancient Asian cultures. There are various studies comparing Western and Indian philosophies and religions, and there are similar works comparing Chinese and Western philosophy and religion. However, so far there is no systemic comparative study of Chinese and Indian philosophies and religions. Therefore there is a need to fill this gap. As such, Brahman and Dao: Comparative Studies of Indian and Chinese Philosophy and Religion is a pioneering volume in that it highlights possible bridges between these two great cultures and complex systems of thought, with seventeen chapters on various Indo-Chinese comparative topics. The book focuses on four themes: metaphysics and soteriology; ethics; body, health and spirituality; and language and culture.

R1,684 Discovery Miles 16 840 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Comparative Political Theory and Cross-Cultural Philosophy: Essays in Honor of Hwa Yol Jung explores new forms of philosophizing in the age of globalization by challenging the conventional border between the East and the West, as well as the traditional boundaries among different academic disciplines. The essays in this volume examine diverse issues, encompassing globalization, cosmopolitanism, public philosophy, political ecology, ecocriticism, ethics of encounter, and aesthetics of caring. They examine the philosophical traditions of phenomenology of Hursserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Heidegger; the dialogism of Mikhail Bakhtin; the philosophy of mestizaje literature; and Asian philosophical traditions. This rich comparative and cross-cultural investigation of philosophy and political theory demonstrates the importance of cultural and cross-cultural understanding in our reading of philosophical texts, exploring how cross-cultural thinking transforms our understanding of the traditional philosophical paradigm and political theory. This volume honors the scholarship and philosophy of Hwa Yol Jung, who has been a pioneer in the field of comparative political theory, cross-cultural philosophy, and interdisciplinary scholarship. In one of his earliest publications, The Crisis of Political Understanding (1979), Jung described the urgency and necessity of breakthrough in political thinking as a crisis, and he followed up on this issue for his half century of scholarship by introducing Asian philosophy and political thought to Western scholarship, demonstrating the possibility of cross-cultural philosophical thinking. In his most recent publications, Jung refers to this possibility as 'transversality' or 'trans(uni)versality, ' a concept which should replace the outmoded Eurocentric universality of modernist philosophy. Jung expounds that in 'transversality, ' 'differences are negotiated and compromised rather than effaced and absorbed into sameness.' This volume is a testimony to the very possibility of transversality in our scholarship and thinking.

Confucian Political Philosophy - Dialogues on the State of the Field (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Robert A. Carleo III, Yong Huang Confucian Political Philosophy - Dialogues on the State of the Field (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Robert A. Carleo III, Yong Huang
R3,530 Discovery Miles 35 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book debates the values and ideals of Confucian politics-harmony, virtue, freedom, justice, order-and what these ideals mean for Confucian political philosophy today. The authors deliberate these eminent topics in five debates centering on recent innovative and influential publications in the field. Challenging and building on those works, the dialogues consider the roles of benevolence, family determination, public reason, distributive justice, and social stability in Confucian political philosophy. In response, the authors defend their views and evaluate their critics in turn. Taking up a broad range of crucial issues-autonomy, liberty, democracy, political legitimacy, human welfare-these author-meets-critic debates will appeal to scholars interested in political, comparative, and East Asian philosophy. Their interlaced themes weave a portrait of what is at stake in discussing Confucian values and theory. Most importantly, they engage and develop the state of the field of Confucian political philosophy today.

Dao Companion to ZHU Xi's Philosophy (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020): Kai-chiu Ng, Yong Huang Dao Companion to ZHU Xi's Philosophy (Paperback, 1st ed. 2020)
Kai-chiu Ng, Yong Huang
R5,046 Discovery Miles 50 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Zhu Xi (1130-1200) has been commonly and justifiably recognized as the most influential philosopher of Neo-Confucianism, a revival of classical Confucianism in face of the challenges coming from Daoism and, more importantly, Buddhism. His place in the Confucian tradition is often and also very plausibly compared to that of Thomas Aquinas, slightly later, in the Christian tradition. This book presents the most comprehensive and updated study of this great philosopher. It situates Zhu Xi's philosophy in the historical context of not only Confucian philosophy but also Chinese philosophy as a whole. Topics covered within Zhu Xi's thought are metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, hermeneutics, philosophy of religion, moral psychology, and moral education. This text shows both how Zhu Xi responded to earlier thinkers and how his thoughts resonate in contemporary philosophy, particularly in the analytic tradition. This companion will appeal to students, researchers and educators in the field.

Jinlong Yang, Yong Huang
R3,096 Discovery Miles 30 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book discusses several new, near-net-shape techniques for fabricating highly reliable, high-performance, complex ceramic parts. In the context of materials design, the creation of high-performance ceramic products of desired shapes has led to the need for new ceramic forming processes. The near-net-shape techniques combine both injection-molding and colloidal-forming processes. Reviewing and summarizing the research and latest advances, the book is divided into 6 parts: (1) the basic theory, development, and application of the colloidal injection molding of ceramics; (2) the tape casting technology; (3) the reliability of the product; (4) the colloidal injection molding of Si3N4 and SiC; (5) low-toxicity systems; and (6) the novel in-situ coagulation casting of ceramic suspensions via controlled release of high-valence counter ions and dispersant removal. It is intended for researchers and graduates in materials science and engineering.

In the age of knowledge explosion, a Keener competition exits between corporations and puts great pressure on leaders. Enterprises should, therefore, rely on R&D and Marketing strategies for higher competency. In construction industry, most inventions result form brainstorming, abundant inspiration, or empirical cases, so that a systematic method, TRIZ, is introduced and applied to obtain better design or alternatives at the beginning of projects. However, tough issues of TRIZ arise from subjective judgments and blank cells of the traditional contradiction matrix of size 39x39. Therefore, this study proposes a systematic innovation model that AHP, GRA, updated contradiction matrix of size 48x48, analogical thinking, and a check process to deal with tough problems systematically. In addition, concepts of PDCA and VE are applied in this model to enhance the completeness of the process. Finally, through two examples, pre-stressed concrete and hoop reinforcements of columns, it can be concluded that this model is capable of using TRIZ inventive principles more efficiently, effectively, and systematically to increase project values.

Yong Huang
R4,011 Discovery Miles 40 110 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Of the three main teachings in Chinese culture, Confucianism has exerted the most profound and lasting influence in China.While Confucianism (a term coined by Westerners) refers to a tradition (Ruism) that predated Confucius, it is most closely associated with Confucius (551-479 BCE), who determined its later development. Confucius' ideas are reflected in his conversations with students, mostly recorded in the Analects. However, this book also brings into discussion those sayings of Confucius that are recorded in other texts, greatly expanding our perspective of the original Confucius. Scholars in the past, unsure about the authenticity of such sayings, have been reluctant to use them in discussing Confucius' view. However, recent archaeological findings have shown that at least some of them are reliable. Confucius: A Guide for the Perplexed is a clear and thorough account of authentic Confucius and his ideas, underscoring his contemporary relevance, not only to Chinese people but also to people in the West.
