| Abstract | The understanding of another culture leads to both respect for that culture, and a new understanding of one's own culture. Before Eastern thought became popular in the West, there were already Westerners who explored the East and brought back stories about it; scholars and missionaries who began to patiently translate Eastern writings into Western languages. These early Western explorers discovered a new world of understanding which would gradually ignite the European imagination and transform its understanding of itself. This paper wishes to chart the very earliest Western encounters with the thought of China. |
