This splendid and deftly translated book gives us a deep understanding of the development of comparative literature as it learned to embrace the many literatures of the world, and it explores the role of Chinese culture in using Taoist insights to illuminate the critical issues of the ever-modernizing twenty-first century. It is sure to become an essential text in this still evolving discipline. Leo Damrosch, Professor of Harvard University Professor Yue Daiyun is one of the founders and pioneering figures of contemporary Chinese comparative literature. Chinese Thought in a Multi-cultural World is an insightful selection of her essays written at the turn of the century which is characterized by her unique cross-cultural perspective and border-writing style. It has indeed witnessed and promoted the rise of the Chinese School of comparative literature in the international academic community. Wang Ning, Distinguished University Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Committed to cross-cultural quest with global vision, Professor Yue Daiyun has made the Chinese voice heard in the globalized, polyphonic world, and contributed enormously to the development of comparative literature in China. Ji Jin, Professor of Soochow University, China
