Chinese philosophy as ideology revisited
I am reminded of this unpleasant subject by some unfinished and new business. I have yet to complete a draft of a blog entry on this wretched journal:
Contemporary Chinese Thought, Volume 37, Number 4, Summer 2006
I also have for review this book, which seems to be based on dubious premises characteristic of the East-West dialogue:
Tian, Chenshan. Chinese Dialectics: From Yijing to Marxism. Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2005.
My other blog entries under this category include links to my writings on the subject and related items on one of my web sites. Now I will add some further links.

I also have a couple of pieces in Esperanto on Chinese thinkers:
