Lo Sviluppo del Lessico Filosofico Cinese Moderno [Italian]

By Timon Gatta

This volume illustrates the gradual formation of the modern Chinese philosophical lexicon (and the analysis of the issue related to the definition of a Chinese philosophical thought) as a result of the encounter between China and the West, mainly between the late 19th and the first half of the 20th century. In particular, the various attempts to translate into the Chinese language a conspicuous number of lemmas identified in the work of Kant - introduced to China in the early twentieth century and deeply involved in the development of modern Chinese thought - are examined. It is precisely the assumption of the new lemmas that calls for a critical reconsideration of the Chinese cultural heritage, with its inevitable socio-political consequences.
