in philosophy is possible. In Part I, a range of relevant fundamental theoretic and methodological issues (conrning normative bases, problems
with incommensurability, philosophical interpretation)are explored; in Part II, several representative case analyses are made to demonstrate
how relevant resources in the Western and Chinese philosophical traditions can constructively engage with each other.]

Gongsun Long's philosophy, Late Mohist philosophy, classical Confucianism, classical Daoism, and Ji Zang's Buddhist account)]
