Abstract

The present article elaborates on the author’s experience of teaching Chinese philosophy in Austria, Czechia, and Slovakia, putting this in the context of the wider Central European perspective. The first part of the article deals with the fact that the teaching of Chinese philosophy in Central Europe is largely not institutionalized, but primarily down to the will of individuals. The second part then focuses on the consequences of this, not just the lack of knowledge among European philosophers about key figures and concepts in Chinese philosophy, but also a certain inadequacy in the quality of the philosophical work of (some of) those engaged in Chinese philosophy. And the final section provides some introductory thoughts justifying the relevance of Chinese philosophy in Europe.
