In this volume leading authorities in Western and Chinese philosophy explore different aspects of the Chinese mind by focusing on topical issues in philosophy, linguistics, and religion. The result is a unified volume which makes an invaluable contribution to the hermeneutics of cross-cultural interpretation as well to the investigation of the unique features of both Chinese philosophy and the Chinese mind. The distinguished contributors include John E. Smith, Robert C. Neville, Chad Hansen, Christoph Harbsmeier, Chung-ying Chen, Antonio S. Cua, Kuang-Ming Wu, and Lao Sze-kwang (Lao Yung-wei). A comprehensive bibliography of both Chinese and Western language sources is included, making this an essential reference for students and scholars of Chinese philosophy and East-West comparative philosophy.
J.J. Clarke, Head, History of Ideas Program, Kingston University, U.K., in Oriental Enlightenment, The Encounter between Asian and Western thought, when discussing East-West encounter in the twentieth century, quotes from five positions which include Allinson, Gadamer, Scharfstein, Habermas and Halbfass. Two quotations from Allinson's Understanding the Chinese Mind begin and end this section.
