Li 理: Struktura kot temeljna epistemiološka paradigma tradicionalne kitajske filozofije

The present monography investigates traditional Chinese concept of structure (li 理) and shows that it has crucially formed the approaches across all philosophic schools and discourses in traditional China. The authoress follows the hypothesis, according to which this concept can be viewed as one of the basic paradigms that defined theoretical foundations of traditional Chinese thought. In this sense, traditional Chinese philosophy can be viewed as a scope of different structuralist theories that can – to a certain degree – be compared to Western structuralist discourses that have been developed during the 20th century.
