On Yang Guorong’s “How to Do Philosophy”

Abstract

In recent years, Professor Yang Guorong of the philosophy department of East China Normal University has systematically reflected on the question of “how to do philosophy,” resulting in a number of papers, books, lectures, and interviews. As philosophy becomes increasingly professionalized and sophisticated, his macro-level examinations of the discipline are much welcomed.
