Jana S. Rošker is Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. She is chif editor of the journal Asian Studies, president of the International Society for Chinese Philosophy (ISCP), and the founder, first president and honorary member of the European Association of Chinese Philosophy (EACP).Jana S. Rošker's impressive new work explores pivotal logical, epistemological, and methodological questions of transcultural hermeneutics and philosophy through a series of case studies drawn from ancient and contemporary Chinese and European philosophy. Her methodology of transcultural sublation offers fresh and nuanced insights from the paradoxes of Hui Shi, Gongsun Long, and Zeno to the dialectic of subject and object and concept and reality in Adorno, Mou Zongsan, and Li Zehou. This work will become essential reading in intercultural hermeneutics and philosophy.

This brilliant study will emerge as a classic of methodology as well as a related classic of the attentive reading of philosophical texts across cultures. Jana Rošker's method seeks philosophically creative insights beyond mere comparison. Her well-chosen examples display the thinking of a major philosopher at work.

Jana S. Rošker presents a novel dialectical method to our comprehension of diverse philosophical ideas.
Analyzing philosophical discourses that have emerged in China and the Sinophone region, Rošker applies the method to examples from across the history of thought. From Ancient Chinese logicians to 20th-century intellectuals, she connects thinkers and offers fresh insights into key aspects of philosophy. The result is a series of vibrant dialogues among different intellectual traditions, providing new understandings of transcultural philosophical interactions.
