Ming Dong Gu bridges the divide between Chinese and Western thought. He does this by addressing key topics that have been of enduring interest to thinkers, scholars and intellectuals in an effort to bring about the fusion of horizons between Chinese and Western thought. These focus on the flow of Chinese thought to the West, Chinese and Western metaphysics, and the foundational ideas from both traditions including the Tao, Taiji, Logos, One, the Yijing, Confucianism, individualism and universalism.
In addressing these key areas, Gu offers new interpretations of ideas, concepts, and principles in Chinese and Western thought and formulates new ideas, insights and conceptual frameworks for Chinese and Western thought to complement and mutually enrich each other.
Ming Dong Gu is the Katherine R. Cecil Professor in the School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology at the University of Texas at Dallas. His research areas include comparative literature, critical theory, comparative thought, and cultural studies. He is the author of The Nature and Rationale of Zen/Chan and Enlightenment (Routledge 2024), Fusion of Critical Horizons in Chinese and Western Language, Poetics, Aesthetics (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), Sinologism: An Alternative to Orientalism and Post-colonialism (Routledge, 2013), Chinese Theories of Reading and Writing (SUNY Press 2005), Chinese Theories of Fiction (SUNY Press 2006) as well as more than 190 articles in English and Chinese.
