Searle’s Philosophy and Chinese Philosophy
Constructive Engagement
Series: - Philosophy of History and Culture, Volume: 27
Editor:
This volume investigates how, through critical engagement, the philosophy of John Searle in the Western analytic tradition and some thoughts and strands in Chinese philosophy can jointly contribute to the common philosophical enterprise and shows how such comparative methodology of constructive engagement is important or even indispensable in philosophical inquiry. The anthology includes Searle's keynote essay and 15 engaging pairs of essay-reply dialogues, each of which consists of one previously unpublished essay by some expert(s) and Searle's engaging reply, and which are organized into four subjects respectively on mind, language, morality, and meta-philosophical & methodological issues. The anthology also includes the volume editor’s theme introduction on the constructive-engagement movement in view of Searle’s philosophy and Chinese philosophy.
Contributors include: Robert E. Allinson, Chung-ying Cheng, Kim-chong Chong, Chris Fraser, Yiu-ming Fung, Soraj Hongladarom, Joel W. Krueger, B. Jeannie Lum, Aloysius P. Martinich, Bo Mou, Anh Tuan Nuyen, John R. Searle, Avrum Stroll, Marshall D. Willman, Kai-yee Wong, and Yujian Zheng.
