描述
This collection of essays, by Reding, in the emergent field of Sino-Hellenic studies, explores the neglected inchoative strains of rational thought in ancient China and compares them to similar themes in ancient Greek thought, right at the beginnings of philosophy in both cultures. Reding develops and defends the bold hypothesis that Greek and Chinese rational thinking are one and the same phenomenon. Rather than stressing the extreme differences between these two cultures - as most other writings on these subjects - Reding looks for the parameters that have to be restored to see the similarities. Reding maintains that philosophy is like an unknown continent discovered simultaneously in both China and Greece, but from different starting-points. The book comprises seven essays moving thematically from conceptual analysis, logic and categories to epistemology and ontology, with an incursion in the field of comparative metaphorology. One of the book's main concerns is a systematic examination of the problem of linguistic relativism through many detailed examples.

备用描述
Reding (U. of Zurich) begins by explaining the basics of comparative philosophy, and what advantage there might be using it to bridge ancient Chinese and ancient Greek philosophical thinking. Then he offers seven essays, all but two previously published, highlighting such aspects as contradiction, the origin of logic in China, Greek and Chinese categories, comparative considerations on the origins of atomism in ancient Greece and its absence in ancient China, elements of comparative metaphorology, and To Be in Greece and China.

备用描述
If philosophy is a purely European phenomenon then the links between Chinese and early Greek philosophy lead the curious to question why they are different. Yet, perhaps the real question ought to be, why are they not the same? This volume explores the similarities between them.
