What is it about?
As guest editor for Vol. 51 (2024) of the Journal of Chinese Philosophy, the introduction aims to emulate Plato's Symposium in the sense that the first work in the volume forms a foundation that echoes in subsequent works - the echoes are thematic and repeat in different registers according to the contributing author's topic and interest, e.g., from American pragmatism and Heidegger to Zen Buddhism as literature and Lu Nan's photography.

Why is it important?
Comparative philosophy is a fruitful method for developing original research and perspectives. Chinese philosophy is on the ascendency and provides new avenues of inquiry and methods to question and invigorate the Western tradition. The trans-disciplinary volume is but one instance of that development.
