Abstract
Professor Jana S. Rošker’s lecture addressed the complex problems that Western scholars encounter when engaging with Chinese philosophy and highlighted the difficulties inherent in cross-cultural and transcultural methodologies, pinpointing common obstacles faced in traditional cross-cultural comparisons within philosophical logic. To address these challenges, Rošker introduced her innovative method of sublation, which has proven extremely valuable for translating and contrasting philosophical concepts across diverse cultural and historical frameworks. This method offers the potential to expand perspectives and glean fresh insights by integrating a wide array of philosophical viewpoints. Rošker also underscored the significance of discursive translations in capturing the semantic nuances of the Chinese philosophical tradition. In response to these challenges, her ground-breaking post-comparative approach to examining Chinese philosophy and logic presents a promising avenue for transcultural philosophical exploration, ultimately leading to a deeper comprehension of Chinese philosophy.
