Heidegger in China and Japan

Zusatztext

The modern developments of Chinese and Japanese philosophical traditions have engaged in depth with Heideggers philosophy, but what is the philosophical meaning of this reception of Heideggers philosophy? This volume explores how the two philosophical traditions interact with Heidegger in their confrontation of the contemporary philosophical issue. By communicating the reception of Heidegger in China and Japan, we initiated a double transcendence of cultural boundaries both EastWest and ChineseJapanese. This double transcendence offers an intercultural and inter-historical context for the hermeneutic of philosophies. The essays chosen to be published in this volume significantly demonstrated how Heideggers philosophy continues to provoke new questions and insights amidst intercultural conversation. Most of these questions and insights are shown to be visible only within the intercultural context, and yet are closely related to the contemporary global world.
