How To Translate Chinese Key Terminologies

Praise from the reviewers:

“The dissemination of Chinese ideological and cultural terminology is of great academic and practical significance.”

--ZHUO Xinping, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

****

“Just as the study of Western traditional concepts requires the use of ancient Greek and Roman terms, accurate understanding of Chinese thought and culture also requires the use of Chinese terminology to describe and define.”

--LI Yongyi, Chongqing University

****

“I personally don't think there should be a global language. The way things have been working in the past is that power has determined the languages that are generally used. That's improper but it's hard to see what to do about it.”

--Noam Chomsky, MIT

****

“Contemporary Chinese expressions like hukou and guanxi have already entered English; this inevitable. The situation is different with classical expressions like tianxia: these were ambiguous even in classical times, and are prone to highly ideological interpretations today.”

--David Kelly, China Policy

****

“Thorsten Pattberg shows how the twenty-first century must assign a prominent place to Chinese terminology.”

--Paul Dundas, The University of Edinburgh

Description:

Many Europeans and Americans want to know what the West can learn from China. They clearly sense the uniqueness and singularity of the Chinese tradition, yet they cannot quite put it into words. That’s because Western languages don’t have the words for it: Only China possesses and owns the correct Chinese names for its inventions and ideas. [...] A future global language without the contribution from China seems unthinkable to us.
