Semantic-Truth Approaches in Chinese Philosophy
«Bo Mou has a rare combination of skills. He is thoroughly familiar with contemporary semantic theory and the formal logic that lies behind it, and he has a scholarly background in traditional Chinese philosophy. Moreover, he knows how to bring these two together. This book is sure to stimulate discussion not only about the interpretation of Chinese philosophy but also on what is universal and what is culture specific in the ways we think and talk.»

«The culmination of decades of research and reflection, this important book accomplishes three things at once. First, it reorients scholarly attention toward the importance in Chinese philosophy of the pre-theoretic concern to capture the way things are, which Dr. Mou calls a “truth concern.” Second, the book shows how various philosophical elaborations in early China of this pre-theoretical concern are well-explained as contributing to a distinctive and attractive pluralist account of truth. Finally, by taking these two points together we are treated to a model of constructive, cross-cultural philosophical engagement. Students of Chinese philosophy and philosophers interested in the concept of truth both have much to gain from this impressive volume.»
