Reviews

""Without any doubt [Lan] manages to put the two great thinkers, Greek and Chinese, on one platform where a comparison is possible ... the value of this work is this very approach. We must try to find ways of communication even across such difficult gulfs. Lan manages to bridge these very different worlds."" - Matylda Amat Obryk, Heinrich-Heine-University, Germany, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017
