Dialogues with Classical Chinese Philosophy - Paperback

by Aleksandar Stamatov (Editor)

This book examines the ways in which classical Chinese philosophy compares with Western philosophy, contemporary issues, and the context of world philosophy.

Schools of thought essential to the development of Chinese philosophy, such as Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, and the School of Names, are considered in their relation to contemporary and popular culture, ethical situationism and social psychology, Plato's philosophy, social media and internet addiction, algorithmic thinking, Machiavelli and political realism, the contemporary workforce, and categorical logic. By engaging Chinese philosophy in dialogue with these contemporary themes, this book illustrates how Chinese philosophy can contribute to the development of world philosophy.

Presenting a novel approach to the study of pre-Qin philosophical texts, this book will be a valuable resource to scholars and students of philosophy, particularly those interested in Chinese philosophy.
