Reviews

“Hwa Yol Jung charts incisively how transversality, as an ethics, philosophy, and way of being, moves creatively in-between the binary ‘anarchy of differences’ versus ‘totalitarianism of identity’ that paralyzes contemporary political praxis. Whether it be discussing sincerity, harmony, alterity, or the ethics of responsibility, Jung’s scholarly reflections, with a Sinic accent, embodies the Dao of transversal phenomenology – a dialogic engagement with the other so desperately needed in a time of polarization.” -- John Francis Burke, Trinity University
