Through a dialogue between contemporary Western philosophy and ancient Chinese philosophy, this book reveals significant common ground between the two. Despite their many differences, it argues that they hold considerable potential for integration.

The book presents a philosophical system of its own. In the universally interconnected cosmic network, every event, object, or person possesses its currently manifest state and an inexhaustible web of connections as its background. In Chinese aesthetic terms, the former is termed the manifest (xiu), and the latter is termed the hidden (yin). In Western philosophical terms, the former is referred to as that which is present, while the latter is called that which is absent (Heidegger described the former as presencing and the latter as concealing). The latter constitutes, forms, and fulfills the former; it is the source and origin of the former. Every event, object, and person in the cosmos is a unity of the present and absent - a fusion of manifest and hidden.
