E-grāmata: Chinese Philosophy in Transcultural Contexts: Comparative Approaches and the Method of Sublation

Jana S. Roker's impressive new work explores pivotal logical, epistemological, and methodological questions of transcultural hermeneutics and philosophy through a series of case studies drawn from ancient and contemporary Chinese and European philosophy. Her methodology of transcultural sublation offers fresh and nuanced insights from the paradoxes of Hui Shi, Gongsun Long, and Zeno to the dialectic of subject and object and concept and reality in Adorno, Mou Zongsan, and Li Zehou. This work will become essential reading in intercultural hermeneutics and philosophy. -- Eric S. Nelson * Professor of Philosophy, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong * This brilliant study will emerge as a classic of methodology as well as a related classic of the attentive reading of philosophical texts across cultures. Jana Roker's method seeks philosophically creative insights beyond mere comparison. Her well-chosen examples display the thinking of a major philosopher at work. -- Nicholas Bunnin * Emeritus Director of the Philosophy Project at the Oxford China Centre and Retired Member of the University of Oxford Faculty of Philosophy, UK *
