Description
This volume brings cross-cultural philosophy to life by creating a two-way dialogue between scholars of Chinese philosophy and a central thinker from the Anglo-American tradition.
A team of Chinese philosophers critically engage with the work of the English philosopher, Simon Blackburn. Best known for his work in metaethics, Blackburn has become one of the most influential philosophers of his generation. Focusing on the distinctive meta-ethical framework of his work, contributors examine Blackburn's expressivism and quasi-realism in dialogue with themes from Chinese philosophy. They offer critiques, extensions, and alternative interpretations to which Blackburn provides a thoughtful response.
This exchange and dialogical structure underscores the importance and promise of cross-tradition philosophical engagement. Illuminates the Blackburn's ideas from new perspectives, it simultaneously demonstrates the vitality and contemporary relevance of Chinese philosophical traditions.
