This seminal work in comparative philosophy and translation studies presents a systematic analysis of English translations of the three decades. The author’s discussion of “meaning” in translation philosophy is highly innovative. Adopting Orientalism, comparative philosophy, cultural anthropology, the book conducts a multi-angle analysis of “meaning” in translation, seeking to move beyond traditional binary debates such as “fidelity” versus “rebellion” and “author-centered” versus “reader-centered” approaches. Inspired by Zhuangzi’s complementary philosophy of translation regarding meaning. The work holds significant academic value as well as cultural interpretive and communicative importance. Jiang Li
