This book examines the ways in which classical Chinese philosophy compares with Western philosophy, contemporary issues and the context of world philosophy.

Schools of thought essential to the development of Chinese philosophy, such as Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism and the School of Names, are considered in their relation to contemporary and popular culture, ethical situationism and social psychology, social media and internet addiction, Plato?s philosophy, algorithmic thinking, Machiavelli and political realism, the contemporary workforce, and contemporary categorical logic. By engaging Chinese philosophy in dialogue with these contemporary themes, this book illustrates how Chinese philosophy can contribute to the development of world philosophy.

Presenting a novel approach to the study of pre-Qin philosophical texts, this book will be a valuable resource to scholars and students of philosophy, particularly those interested in Chinese philosophy.

?The essays in this collection, by a group of young scholars in Chinese and comparative philosophy, thoughtfully explore the rich landscape of classical Chinese philosophy, whether in dialogue with Western philosophy or engaging contemporary issues. Their perspectives are both refreshing and fun! Highly recommended!?

Tao Jiang, Rutgers University, USA

?Nearly every researcher of ancient Chinese thought will find something of interest in this volume, as it covers almost all philosophical traditions of the pre-Qin period. Instructors will also find useful material in its comparative studies, its discussions of contemporary applications of Chinese thought, and its explorations of world philosophy.?
