As the culminating work by Ye Xiushan, one of China's most renowned philosophers and scholars of philosophy, this two-volume set delves into the historical evolution of both Chinese and Western philosophy, with the ultimate goal of exploring the convergence between these two philosophical traditions. Through a comprehensive combination of historical analysis and argumentation rooted in philosophical problematics, the author engages in a detailed discussion of the key figures and schools of thought from both traditions. Rather than offering a mere cursory comparison of different philosophical concepts and categories, the author delves into the logical pathways and conceptual approaches taken by these two traditions on the same philosophical issues, thereby providing valuable insights into the conceptual categories commonly employed in both Chinese and Western philosophies.

The two volumes shed light on the distinct core spirits and dilemmas of Western philosophy and Chinese philosophy, fostering a constructive dialogue between the two and paving the way for a transformative reimagining of Chinese philosophy itself. This set will captivate scholars, students, and general readers with an interest in philosophical history, comparative philosophy, Chinese philosophy, and Western philosophy, spanning from the Greek philosophical tradition to German classic philosophy and contemporary continental philosophy.
