Beskrivning
Jin Yuelin (1895-1984) was a leading philosopher in Republican-era China, yet he remains virtually unknown in the West. His major publications include a textbook on logic (Luoji), an epistemology (Zhishilun) and an ontology (Lun dao). Like many other Chinese intellectuals of his time, he was greatly influenced by Western ideas and terms. Most importantly, he considered the problem of induction, which was central to his thought, from the perspectives of epistemology and ontology. In his response to this problem, Jin employed terms drawn from Chinese tradition, as well as neologisms, thus creating a unique philosophy of process. This work focuses on Jin’s ontological response to the problem of induction, and also provides a summary of his epistemological response.

"The very fact that the work and person of Jin Yuelin is not well known in the Western world or even Western sinology...makes this contribution valuable...[Jin Yuelin's Ontology] provides a systematic work-immanent analysis of Jin's ontology....for anyone who wants to deepen his knowledge of a leading philosopher in Republican-era China - Jin Yuelin and his thought, [this book] is a guide that leads directly to the center of his philosophical system."Zbigniew Wesolowski, Monumenta Serica 60 (2012)"In Jin Yuelin’s Ontology: Perspectives on the Problem of Induction, Yvonne Schulz Zinda systematically unveils, analyzes, and discusses Jin Yuelin’s original and influential work in logic, epistemology, and ontology. This book is important not just because it rescues Jin’s legacy from the neglect of the Western sinologists but because Jin’s philosophic lexicon and foundational work in logic, epistemology, and ontology paved the way for twentieth century philosophers in China both to think philosophically and to utilize a number of philosophical terms, native as well as Western, in grappling with the fundamental philosophical issues of the day."Kirill Ole Thompson, National Taiwan University, China Review International, Vol. 20, Nos. 1 & 2 (2013)
