These collections of essays touch on a nascent area in comparative studies that holds immense potential for growth and insight. Chinese philosophy has the potential to provide a number of insights to philosophy of mind because Chinese philosophy functions with different root metaphors in their descriptions of experience. Unlike western philosophy, the metaphors and images at the root of Chinese philosophical conceptions of mind already begin with consciousness as an embodied activity. Chinese philosophy doesn't have to extract itself from the vocabulary of Cartesian boxes, black slates, phenomenon vs. noumenon, or any of the ghosts that still haunt western models.
