Features: Since the 1980s, Cheng Chung-ying has frequently visited mainland China for lectures and academic exchanges, becoming a well-known contemporary scholar in the domestic academic circles. Some of his works have also been published in the Chinese academic field. The four-volume Collected Works of Cheng Chung-ying is one of the most comprehensive compilations of his academic writings. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the collection primarily includes his monographs and papers published in Chinese, while a significant number of his English works are not included.
Volume 1 On the Spirit of Chinese and Western Philosophy: This volume includes Cheng Chung-ying's discussions and the main body of his monograph Choices at the Turn of the Century: On the Convergence and Integration of Chinese and Western Philosophy, along with ten other articles.
