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

Using current European and American work as a reference point, this article explores the differences and gaps between foreign and Chinese scholars in this field of research. The author believes that on the question of the boundaries of later Greek philosophy, Chinese scholars have, through long years of exploration, come up with independent opinions and solutions that differ from those of their European and Ameriean counterparts, and that they have a better grasp of the distinctive features of later Greek philosophy. Their work, however, clearly falls short with regard to historical source material. As far as methodology is concerned, there is a clear tendency towards convergence between Chinese scholars and their foreign colleagues.展开更多

Benign dialogue at the level of value beliefs makes the premise for real open and deep communication and interaction between Chinese, Western and Marxist philosophies, as well as significant content of and essential path to understanding of our own existing, configuring philosophy in contemporary China, and generating our national ＂philosophical ego＂ in the context of the life world of the Chinese.展开更多
