- Authors
Huang, Hui
- Abstract
The intellectual provides an important stimulus to push forward the society from which he or she is derived and culturally shaped. This paper reviews Chinese and Western intellectual traditions and their early communications, tracing their dissimilar worldviews on the universe, time and self, and also their different knowledge, interpersonal and activity orientations. In spite of their divergent origins, the paper concludes with a synthesis of the two traditions in terms of their intercultural complementarities.
