In his recent book Orientalisme, occidentalisme et universalisme (Paris: MA Éditions-ESKA, 2020), Jean-Yves Heurtebise, who has worked and teached in Taiwan for many years, summarizes the results of his own research on the topic of transcultural philosophy. His understanding of transculturality underlines the need for critical work, in order to challenge many of the prejudices which have become a solid part of several hundreds years of East and West exchanges.
