Most Western scholars and some modem Chinese scholars so far have failed to pay attention to these critical achievements. This article intends to expound the global contributions of Chinese aesthetics in three ways. One is Laozi＇s interpretative mode of grandeur, another is Zhuangzi＇s notion of mutual generative aesthetics and the other Mencius＇s view of philosophical beauty.展开更多

Contemporariness is not a purely historical concept but one from historical philosophy. It differs from both modernity and postmodernity, occurring and being present simultaneously with our immediate existing. Since contemporary Chinese philosophy represents the unfolding of Chinese philosophy in its contemporariness, this means that contemporary Chinese philosophy occurs in the circumstances of ottr immediate existing and is moreover present simultaneously with contemporary Western and Marxist philosophy. This provides the common ground that makes dialogue between them possible.展开更多

It means the construction of a new philosophy that returns to primitive philosophy in terms of research scope, follows the example of Marxist philosophy in terms of research approach, and inherits and develops previous Chinese and Western philosophy in terms of research content. This new philosophy centered on the spirit of harmony is termed ＂post-modern Marxist philosophy.＂展开更多
