Biographical note
Jana S. Rošker is Professor of Philosophy and Head of the Department of Asian Studies in the Faculty of Arts at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. She is Chief editor of the journal Asian Studies.In this reinterpretation of Chinese philosophy vis-à-vis Western philosophy, Rošker has persuasively repudiated the “China has no philosophy” fallacy and offered a new approach to understanding Chinese philosophy. Provocative and lucidly written, it is a must read for scholars and thinkers interested in the fusion of Chinese and Western thought and culture.
Ming Dong Gu, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Texas at Dallas, USA
Jana Rošker's innovative volume does more than provide a new way of interpreting Chinese philosophy. Her insightful notion of a transcultural philosophy of sublation, which draws upon the dynamic structuring of complementary binary categories and referential frameworks of traditional Chinese philosophy, provides a new model for doing post-comparative philosophy creatively.
John Makeham, Emeritus Professor, La Trobe University and The Australian National University, Australia
Erudite, nuanced, and refreshing, Rošker’s book makes a significant contribution to studying fundamental issues of Chinese philosophy from a comparative perspective. I strongly recommend it to everyone interested in the topic.
Chenyang Li, Professor of Philosophy, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
In this thorough reflection on Chinese and comparative philosophy, Jana Rošker combines her lifelong expertise with an impressive overview of contemporary Chinese scholarship. This book adds fascinating insights to ongoing debates on the increasing relevance of Chinese thought in the world’s unending philosophical conversation.
