He is also an ordained minister of the Uniting Church in Australia. Klappentext Is the world one or many? Ji Zhang revisits this ancient philosophical question from the modern perspective of comparative studies. His investigation stages an intellectual exchange between Plato, founder of the Academy, and Ge Hong, who systematized Daoist belief and praxis. Zhang not only captures the tension between rational Platonism and abstruse Daoism, but also creates a bridge between the two. Zusammenfassung This is a unique study of Daoism and Platonism! avoiding the common assumptions either interpreting Daoism through the western perspective or favoring rational cognitive thought over empirical instrument studies.
