This book offers a profound exploration of the epistemological frameworks that have influenced Chinese intellectual history from ancient times through the Song Dynasty's Neo-Confucianism. It provides a nuanced analysis of how knowledge systems within Chinese culture developed and interacted with each other across different historical epochs. By examining classical texts and philosophical movements, Roker brings to light the unique approaches to knowledge and understanding in the Chinese tradition, setting them against the backdrop of Western epistemological thought. Translated by Marko Ogrizek, the book serves as a vital resource for anyone keen to understand the dynamic interplay of ideas that bridge the East and West, linking ancient wisdom with modern perspectives.
