Abstract
Vanishing into Things: Knowledge in Chinese Tradition. By Barry Allen. Cambridge, MA and London, England: Harvard University Press, 2015. Pp. viii + 289.This book is about conceptions of knowledge in Chinese philosophy, but it also does more than that. It raises new possibilities for comparative philosophy and points to ways in which philosophy as an academic discipline could be reinvigorated to help address the global challenges of the twenty-first century.
