It continues the comparative discussions by focusing upon three concepts-self, truth, transcendence-which best illuminate the distinctive characters of the two cultures. \"Self\" specifies the meaning of the human subject, \"truth\" considers that subject's manner of relating to the world of which it is a part, and \"transcendence\" raises the issue as to whether the self\/world relationship is grounded in something other than the elements resourced immediately in self and world. Considered together, the discussions of these concepts advertise in a most dramatic fashion the intellectual barriers currently existing between Chinese and Western thinkers. More importantly, these discussions reformulate Chinese and Western vocabularies in a manner that will enhance the possibilities of intercultural communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid L.
