Ames on Methods, Issues, and Roles","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA wide-ranging exploration and critical assessment of the work of a major figure in Chinese and comparative philosophy.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, prominent philosophers working in Chinese thought and related areas critically reflect upon the work of Roger T. Ames, one of the most significant contemporary figures working in the field of Chinese philosophy. Through his decades of collaborative work in comparative methodology and cross-cultural interpretation, along with a number of pathbreaking translations of Chinese philosophical texts, Ames has managed to challenge standing paradigms and open fresh avenues of research into the Chinese tradition. His work will be read and studied for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original essays presented here, which are substantive philosophical contributions in their own right, cover the full range of Ames's scholarly output. They address methodological questions as well as specific issues in textual interpretation, including ample discussion of Ames's most recent and provocative contribution: Confucian \"role ethics.\" In the final section of the book, Ames responds to each essay. The result is a conversation and engagement that both underscores the vitality of his thinking and indicates the directions it may take in the future. Altogether, this work provides a snapshot of a remarkable career-and an invitation to continue reflecting upon its meaning and importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Jr. Behuniak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438471009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438471006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Jim Jr. Behuniak","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962126487807,"sku":"9781438471006","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f22e8a3-b907-4eeb-aa41-940bbcfdc355.jpg?v=1750649399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/appreciating-the-chinese-difference-jim-jr-behuniak-9781438471006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
