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.
