Rezensionen

"[T]his is a very valuable volume. It is a rich and textually grounded discussion of these two thinkers. It is an illuminating account of the parallels and divergences between them." -- Brad Wilburn, Chadron State College, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"Yu's book is the best book on comparative philosophy I have ever read. He has proposed a creative methodology and he applies his expert knowledge of Greek and Chinese philosophy with great care and insight. I recommend this book without reservation." -- Nicholas F. Gier, University of Idaho, Journal of Chinese Philosophy
