Reflecting on the "clash of civilizations" as its point of
departure, this book is based on a series of sixteen of the
author's interconnected, thematically focused lectures and calls
for new perspectives to resist imperialistic homogeneity. Situated
within a neo-humanist context, the book applies interactive
cognition from an Asian perspective within which China can be
perceived as an essential "other," making it highly relevant in the
quest for global solutions to the many grave issues facing mankind
today. The author critiques American, European, and Chinese points
of view; highlighting the significance of difference and the
necessity of dialogue; before ultimately, rethinking the nature of
world literature and putting forward interactive cognition as a
means of "reconciliation" between cultures. Chinese culture, as a
frame of reference endowed with traditions of "harmony without
homogeneity", may help to alleviate global cultural confrontation
and even reconstruct the understanding of human civilization. The
book will be essential reading for scholars and students of
Comparative Literature, Chinese Studies, and all those who are
interested in cross-cultural communication and Chinese culture in
general.
