More DescriptionThis book is an attempt to show that an understanding of the Chinese mind is only possible as a result of conversation between Chinese philosophers. Nine philosophers with a reputation both in Western and Chinese philosophy explore different facets of the Chinese mind by focusing on topical issues in philosophy, linguistics, and religion.

There is an extensive bibliography of Chinese and Western language sources.
