Summary

One and Many 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-instrumental studies. It will provide excellent reading for students and scholars of Daoist studies and philosophers and theologians with comparative interests. It is also highly appropriate for research students who are seeking a workable method of intercultural dialogue.

Author Biography
