The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy Methodologies Summary

The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy Methodologies by Dr Sor-hoon Tan (Associate Professor, National University of Singapore, Singapore)

An exemplary resource . . . The advice about translations is excellent, as are the pedagogical lessons and the comparative opportunities. This is an indispensable guide for researchers, and it would make a fantastic text for a graduate course. Summing Up: Essential. CHOICE The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy Methodologies presents a new understanding of the changing methods used to study Chinese philosophy. By identifying the various different approaches and discussing the role, and significance of philosophical methods in the Chinese tradition, this collection identifies difficulties and exciting developments for scholars of Asian philosophy. Divided into four parts, the nature of Chinese philosophical thought is illuminated by discussing historical developments, current concerns and methodological challenges. Surveying recent methodological trends, this research companion explores and evaluates the methodologies that have been applied to Chinese philosophy. From these diverse angles, an international team of experts reflect on the considerations that enter their methodological choices and indicate new research directions. The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy Methodologies is an important contribution to the education of the next generation of Chinese philosophers.

The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Chinese Philosophy Methodologies Reviews

Tan (National Univ. of Singapore) has put together an exemplary resource, one of what will be many titles in the Bloomsbury Research Handbooks in Asian Philosophy series. Tan's thorough introduction is worth a careful read, because it identifies major questions, offers advice, and sheds light on what is at stake in bringing Chinese and Western philosophy together ... Many of the contributors have published major works that bring Chinese philosophy to a Western audience, so they have many insights to offer, not only about the limitations and potential of various methodologies but also about important historical details that could be lost in Western methodologies. The advice about translations is excellent, as are the pedagogical lessons and the comparative opportunities. This is an indispensable guide for researchers, and it would make a fantastic text for a graduate course. Summing Up: Essential. * CHOICE *
In my experience, some philosophers and other scholars who have no familiarity with the Chinese tradition are hesitant to study or even discuss it, because they worry that the subject requires some methodology so different from their own that anything they might say would be horribly misguided, and the entry costs for acquiring the appropriate methodology are so high in terms of the time and effort required that it is not practically feasible for them to achieve even a rudimentary conversational competence in the area. One strength of Sor-hoon Tan's anthology is that it can help assuage such worries, for it conveniently collects such a wide variety of approaches that, almost regardless of your own orientation, you can find someone in the volume advocating or applying a kindred methodology to the Chinese materials. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
