Wenyu Xie Knihy

The book explores a specific tradition in Western thought regarding freedom, linking it to key philosophers such as Plato, Augustine, Luther, and Kierkegaard. Wenyu Xie delves into two fundamental principles within this tradition: the Platonic ideal of freedom and the notion of redemption, offering a comprehensive analysis of how these ideas intersect and influence contemporary understandings of freedom.

Whitehead acknowledged that 'the philosophy of organism seems to approximate more to some strains of. Chinese thought.' Some scholars have attempted to explore this relationship and its implications. The Beijing Conference provided a good forum for interested and engaged scholars to address each other directly, in an atmosphere of mutual regard and respect. The ongoing scholarly work on process thinking in China is impressive. It is the editors’ conviction that the publication of this book in English will promote international discussion of the themes and issues herein set forth. This should contribute significantly to the broader discussion between West and East, so important in this age of cultural globalization.
