Subjectivity and Infinity

Guoping Zhao is Professor and Research Fellow at Oklahoma State University, USA.

“Guoping Zhao’s (2020) Subjectivity and Infinity: Time and Existence is a magnificent book seeking to point with words toward the ineffable mystery. … Guoping and I do differ, but reading her book has helped educate me.” (Jim Garrison, Studies in Philosophy and Education, Vol. 41, 2022)“Subjectivity and Infinity (2020) is a wonderful and complex book. Ambitious in its scope and sweeping in its analysis, Zhao brings east and west together in her creative exploration of the inextricable relationship between subjectivity and temporality.” (Clarence W. Joldersma, Studies in Philosophy and Education, Vol. 41, 2022)
