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

Jana S. Rosker presents a novel dialectical method to our comprehension of diverse philosophical ideas.

Analyzing philosophical discourses that have emerged in China and the Sinophone region, Rosker applies the method to examples from across the history of thought. From Ancient Chinese logicians to 20th-century intellectuals, she connects thinkers and offers fresh insights into key aspects of philosophy. The result is a series of vibrant dialogues among different intellectual traditions, providing new understandings of transcultural philosophical interactions.

Jana S. Rosker is Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. She is chif editor of the journal Asian Studies, president of the International Society for Chinese Philosophy (ISCP), and the founder, first president and honorary member of the European Association of Chinese Philosophy (EACP).
