Abstract

The five papers translated here were first presented at a conference titled Metaphysics and Epistemology in Chinese Philosophy: A Systematic and Comparative Approach, which met on July 10-11, 2010, under the co-sponsorship of the School of Philosophy and the International Center for Chinese and Comparative Philosophy, both at the Renmin University of China, and the Association of Chinese Philosophers in America. The selected papers represent three main approaches to Chinese metaphysics: a traditional textual approach ; an approach drawing on both Western and Eastern philosophy ; and a Western-style analytic approach.
