West-Eastern mirror discusses the formative cultural traditions in
Germany/Europe and China with a special focus on the increasingly
important aspects of Virtue and morality. At present, there are
increasing difficulties in understanding the 'other' in their cultural
framing. In view of the fact that economic or scientific exchange on an
international level is a matter of necessity, in recent years the need
to ensure the cultural prerequisites has become even more urgent. First,
the title deals with the cultural influences in Europe (Judaism,
Christianity, Enlightenment) and China (Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism).
In the second part, the focus encompasses a dialogue of European
philosophy, with Rousseau, Herbart, Gadamer and Hegel.
