Philosophical ideas such as certainty are the products of deeply layered socio-historical constructions. Three different versions of certainty—in modern Western thought, in German Idealism, and in traditional Chinese philosophy—are examined in the context of a historical-comparative study of Western and Chinese social processes.Three versions of the idea of certainty are represented by the three distinct philosophical discourse and societies explored in this book.
