Product Description

Features articles by Richard Rorty, Robert Cummings Neville, Joanna Crosby, Joseph Grange, Roger T. Ames, Ewing Chinn, Sor-hoon Tan, Chenyang Li, Ronnie Littlejohn, Jane Geaney, Thomas Michael, Erin Cline, Hans-Georg Moeller As philosophy in the West is facing the question, “end or transformation,” a group of philosophers gathered together in a memorial conference in May 2003 to celebrate the life and works of one of the most sensitive and innovative philosophical “heart-minds” of our time– David Hall. Selected from the conference, the papers in this volume discuss two distinct, though interrelated aspects of Hall’s work – “metaphilosophy” and “Chinese thought.” Informed by his cross-cultural study of philosophy, Hall’s critical and constructive thought in both areas projects valuable insights that have and will continue to inspire those who are profound enough to care about the future of philosophy and practical enough to care about the real life of individuals and our deeply troubled social-political reality. The editors of the volume, Ewing Chinn and Henry Rosemont Jr. are themselves highly respected and influential scholars in the field of comparative philosophy. Through this volume, they present us not only a synoptic review of Hall’s rich array of philosophical contributions, but also important areas in which controversies may prove to be most productive. Peimin Ni Professor of Philosophy, Grand Valley State University Editor-in-chief, ACPA Series of Chinese and Comparative Philosophy
