In Metaphorical Metaphysics in Chinese Philosophy: Illustrated with Feng Youlans New Metaphysics, Derong Chen examines Chinese philosophy through a critical analysis of Feng Youlans nnew metaphysics. He views metaphysics in Chinese philosophy as a metaphorical metaphysics separate from Western metaphysics. In examining the historical influences and contemporary reaction to Fengs work, he identifys Fengs system as the continuation of the Chinese philosophical tradition. This approach is most applicable to scholars of comparative philosophy and Chinese philosophy.
