Summary
"This work examines the philosophies and theologies of three thinkers - Chu Hsi, Alfred North Whitehead, and Robert C. Neville - separated by time, space, and culture. In so doing John H. Berthrong provides a suggestive and successful comparison of creativity as a cross-cultural theme while introducing Neo-Confucianism as a sophisticated dialogue partner with modern Western speculative philosophy and theology."--BOOK JACKET.
