Reviews / Votes
"This 'showcase' for modern Chinese philosophy will finally dispelthe common western perception that nothing has happened in Chinesephilosophy since the sixteenth century other than the emergence ofa regimented, monochromatic Marxism. In this immaculately editedvolume, its mainly Chinese contributors testify to the immensevariety of contemporary Chinese philosophy and to the willingnessof its leading figures to enrich their own traditions throughcritical dialogue with western ones. The volume deserves to inspirea reciprocal willingness among western philosophers." David E.Cooper, Durham University "An excellent anthology of essays introducing sixteen importantChinese philosophers in the twentieth century. The editors alsoprovide a valuable background and overview, recent overseas trends,and a unifying interpretation of Chinese philosophy. 'Must' readingfor serious students and scholars interested in Chinese philosophy"Antonio S. Cua, Catholic University of America "Contemporary Chinese Philosophy constitutes a valuablecontribution to the Western understanding of Chinese philosophy inconveying with clarity the diversity of the Chinese intellectualresponse to the encounter with Western thought."
