The philosophical sinology of François Jullien and Roger Ames
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Roger Ames and François Jullien are two of the most eminent researchers writing today about traditional Chinese thought. Although their styles, theories and target audience differ greatly between the two, both authors align themselves in their support of philosophy as a way to further their sinological research and thus unveil China’s radical contrast to the Western tradition. Their philosophical motivations led Ames and Jullien to assign language and translation as key factors in the treatment of the Chinese texts. In this way, each has developed a hybrid Sino-Western translation language that appears to mirror the procedural and allusive inclinations of ancient China, not only bridging the gap between East and West, but also respecting the limits and alterity that need to be kept alive in the approach of the Chinese tradition.
