Abstract
I have never regarded myself as a Phenomenologist, therefore I am not going to present a formal paper on any specific topic in this field but only to offer you a simple proposal. As shown by the title of the present paper, my proposal is concerned with the adoption of the phenomenological method for a reformulation of the basic ideas of traditional Chinese philosophy. So far as I know, few Phenomenologists paid attention to Chinese philosophical thinking; and on the other hand, Chinese philosophers usually believe that phenomenology, as a special branch of European philosophy, makes no real sense to the “Chinese Mind.” However, I am pretty sure that the possible relation between the two sides can be seen in a different light.
Opening Address to the International Conference on Phenomenology “Time, Space and Culture” organized by the Department of Philosophy at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, 21 November 2000.
