Bridging Traditions. Chinese and Western Philosophy in Dialogue
Rivista di Estetica n.s. N. 72, anno LIX
For centuries, Western and Chinese thought have developed along parallel and sometimes opposite paths. One of the main issues of comparative philosophy is whether the dis- tance between them can be overcome and what this reconciliation might imply.
This issue of Rivista di Estetica will inquire into the possibility of a philosophical com- mensurability between Chinese and Western thought, through the study of the differenc- es and the possible commonalities between their metaphysics, ethics, methodologies and ontological conceptions of nature and the human being, as well as through the analysis of how cultural traditions migrate from the East to the West and vice versa.
