New Treatise on the Uniqueness of Consciousness

Xiong Shili; Translated by John Makeham
This is the first English translation of what many consider to be the most original work of Chinese philosophy produced in the twentieth century; it is also one of the least understood. Xiong’s New Treatise represents the first substantive attempt to respond to the modernist challenge of providing Chinese philosophy with “system,” and he did this in the form of an ontology.

The Art of Peacemaking: Political Essays by István Bibó

István Bibó; Translated by Péter Pásztor; Edited and with an Introduction by Iván Zoltán Dénes; With a Foreword by Adam Michnik
