"This 'showcase' for modern Chinese philosophy will finally dispel
the common western perception that nothing has happened in Chinese
philosophy since the sixteenth century other than the emergence of
a regimented, monochromatic Marxism. In this immaculately edited
volume, its mainly Chinese contributors testify to the immense
variety of contemporary Chinese philosophy and to the willingness
of its leading figures to enrich their own traditions through
critical dialogue with western ones. The volume deserves to inspire
a reciprocal willingness among western philosophers." David E.
Cooper, Durham University
"An excellent anthology of essays introducing sixteen important
Chinese philosophers in the twentieth century. The editors also
provide a valuable background and overview, recent overseas trends,
and a unifying interpretation of Chinese philosophy. 'Must' reading
for serious students and scholars interested in Chinese philosophy"
Antonio S. Cua, Catholic University of America
"Contemporary Chinese Philosophy constitutes a valuable
contribution to the Western understanding of Chinese philosophy in
conveying with clarity the diversity of the Chinese intellectual
response to the encounter with Western thought." Practical
