How is constructive cultural exchange possible when traditions hold such contradictory views? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnswering this question and positioning both philosophical traditions in their respective intellectual and linguistic contexts, Jingjing Li argues that what Edmund Husserl means by essence differs from what Chinese Yogacarins mean by \u003ci\u003esvabhava\u003c\/i\u003e, partly because Husserl problematises the substantialist understanding of essence in European philosophy. Furthermore, she reveals that Chinese Yogacara has developed an account of self-transformation, ethics and social ontology that renders it much more than simply a Buddhist version of Husserlian phenomenology. Detailing the process of finding a middle ground between the two traditions, this book demonstrates how both can thrive together in order to overcome Orientalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jingjing Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350256943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350256941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d","brand":"Jingjing Li","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075843748095,"sku":"9781350256941","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6e9d72c-4c59-458e-9d59-e7c3ea7e5d1d.jpg?v=1685461770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comparing-husserls-phenomenology-and-chinese-jingjing-li-9781350256941","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
