On the Logic of Togetherness: A Cultural Hermeneutic

Building bridges between Asian and Western philosophies, Kuang-ming Wu provides an approach to the self-other issue, casting it in terms of togetherness. This text is a sequel to On Chinese Body Thinking (Brill, 1997). It is an essay on a cultural hermeneutics of togetherness, and of the homo-ecological community of differences, cultural and otherwise. Togetherness is a concrete primal that by which we explain and analyze concrete things and situations: an intrinsic interactive principle of integrity, growth, reflection, and behaviour. In five sections, this book describes cultural, personal, argumentative, religious and philosophical situations of togetherness, thus providing an examination of its varieties.
