Compares Chinese and Western perspectives on the family. This book is a timely contribution to the growing field of the philosophy of the family. Drawing on a lifetime of research in Western and Chinese philosophy, Zhang Xianglong adopts a comparative perspective to navigate between Greek philosophy, phenomenology, and Confucianism to explore such topics as the nature of the family, filiality, human nature, temporality, memory, incest taboos, the future of Confucianism, and popular literature. He weaves his vast intercultural knowledge and understanding into penetrating philosophical, social, literary, and anthropological insights that reveal the strengths and weaknesses of Western and Chinese conceptions of the family. This book is a paradigm of comparative philosophy and demonstrates the value of the Chinese intellectual tradition for modern philosophy.
