Features: This book employs a modern hermeneutic approach to attempt a fresh and comprehensive reading of the intrinsic essence of traditional Chinese philosophy, drawing from modern Western philosophical theories such as phenomenology, Scheler's philosophy, existentialism, ordinary language philosophy, Strauss's philosophy, postmodernism, communitarianism, and Apel's philosophy, as well as the new philosophical context they have formed. The aim is to uncover the modern characteristics and vitality hidden beneath the ancient traditional forms, and on this basis, ultimately reveal the essence of "mutual interpenetration" between Chinese and Western philosophies, which is also the essence of the convergence of all human philosophical paths.
