"Bin Song enters longstanding debates over the status of transcendence as a concept in Chinese thought with a book that offers clarity, nuance, and a compelling theoretical intervention."
"Those who answer 'yes' are often aligning themselves against Eurocentrism, that is, against the idea that European thought has privileged access to certain philosophical or religious insights."
"Yet those who answer 'no' are also often aligning themselves against Eurocentrism, making the point that we should recognize the distinctiveness of Chinese philosophical traditions."
Bin Song's work addresses the debates surrounding the concept of transcendence in Chinese thought. The discourse reveals that both proponents and opponents of transcendence often share a common commitment against Eurocentrism. Those affirming transcendence argue against the notion that European thought holds exclusive philosophical insights, while those denying it also challenge Eurocentrism by emphasizing the uniqueness of Chinese philosophical perspectives. This nuanced approach offers a compelling theoretical intervention in the ongoing discussions about transcendence in comparative philosophy.
