Features: Ontology and Interpretation has already been published in two volumes, and now the third volume is also about to be released. The title of the first volume is Ontology and Interpretation. The title of the second volume is Onto-Hermeneutics. This volume is titled Ontology and Interpretation: A Comparative Study of East and West. The original plan was to focus on the discussion of interpretive theories in Chinese classics, but as the current academic field seems to have not yet matured in its discussion of the ontology and methods of interpretation, there is still ample room for theoretical exploration. Strengthening the understanding of ontology and interpretive theories in both East and West will undoubtedly further stimulate scholars' interest in the current theories of East-West interpretation. It will also benefit the depth and broader development of Chinese hermeneutics. Naturally, it will also promote scholars' comparative understanding of "Onto-Hermeneutics" and "Philosophical Hermeneutics," as well as their emphasis on the relevance of reconstructing Chinese philosophy and Chinese classical hermeneutics.
