Approaching Identity and Reference from Classical Chinese Philosophy to Modern Logic
(in "Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy" monograph series / peer-reviewed).
[This is a monograph book in the areas of philosophy of logic, philosophy of langauge, and metaphysics. This book demonstrates how, through

contemporary philosophyto enhance our understanding and treatment of two basci principles of logic, the law of identity and the law of non-contradition.]

[This monograph book presents a systematic unifying-pluralist account (a constructive-engagement account) of how cross-tradition engagmeent
in philosophy is possible. In Part I, a range of relevant fundamental theoretic and methodological issues (conrning normative bases, problems
with incommensurability, philosophical interpretation)are explored; in Part II, several representative case analyses are made to demonstrate
how relevant resources in the Western and Chinese philosophical traditions can constructively engage with each other.]

and metaphysics; a unifying pluralist account of truth, whose core idea explained in the 2009 monograph, is further substantially developed and enhanced
in the setting of cross-tradition engagement concerning semantic-truth approahces in classical Chinese philosophy (those in Yi-Jing philosophy,
Gongsun Long's philosophy, Late Mohist philosophy, classical Confucianism, classical Daoism, and Ji Zang's Buddhist account)]

four case analyses of Tarski's, Quine's, Davidson's and Daoist approaches in the setting of the debate between deflationism and substantivism in contemporary philosophy.]
