In this comparative study, Zhang Longxi investigates the metaphorical nature of poetic language, highlighting the central figures of reality and meaning in both Eastern and Western thought: the Tao and the Logos. The author develops a powerful cross-cultural and interdisciplinary hermeneutic analysis that relates individual works of literature not only to their respective cultures, but to a combined worldview where East meets West.Zhang's book brings together philosophy and literature, theory and practical criticism, the Western and the non-Western in defining common ground on which East and West may come to a mutual understanding. He provides commentary on the rich traditions of poetry and poetics in ancient China; equally illuminating are Zhang's astute analyses of Western poets such as Rilke, Shakespeare, and Mallarm and his critical engagement with the work of Foucault, Derrida, and de Man, among others.Wide-ranging and learned, this definitive work in East-West comparative poetics and the hermeneutic tradition will be of interest to specialists in comparative literature, philosophy, literary theory, poetry and poetics, and Chinese literature and history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51893672608032,"sku":"NEW0822312182","price":41.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71HCwk9AZwL.jpg?v=1782005455","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-tao-and-the-logos-literary-hermeneutics-east-and-west-post-contemporary-interventions-0822312182","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
