About the author

Zhang Xianglong (1949–2022) was a contemporary Chinese philosopher known for his work on phenomenology, Confucian philosophy, and comparative philosophy between East and West. His writings combine specialized research with lectures and essays. On one hand, he explored the resonances between Heidegger's thought, the Chinese Daoist tradition, and Confucianism, as seen in works such as Heidegger's Thought and the Chinese Dao, From Phenomenology to Confucius, and the two-volume Studies in Confucian Phenomenology. On the other, books such as Seven Lectures on Phenomenology and An Introduction to Chinese, Western, and Indian Philosophy offer accessible entry points to philosophy, while his essay collection Groping for the Way of Ren adopts a more informal tone. Twelve of his works are held in this collection.
