Returning to Primordially Creative Thinking: Chinese Wisdom on the Horizon of “Xiang thinking” By Shuren WangEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 362 Pages | ISBN : 9811090467 | 4.18 MB
This book identifies that “Xiang thinking” is the eidetic connotation and a fundamental trait of traditional Chinese thinking, offering insights of considerable methodological significance. "Xiang thinking" is a mode of thinking different from conceptual thinking or idealized rational thinking and, in a certain sense, it is more primal. In the past century, particularly since 1949, the primary works on Chinese philosophical history have, as a rule, addressed the ancient Chinese tradition of philosophical ideas by virtue of the philosophies of Plato, Descartes and Hegel: methods that inherently challenge Chinese philosophical insights.
