Interpreting NevilleJ. Harley Chapman, Nancy Frankenberry, Nancy K. Frankenberry Interpreting Neville provides the first book-length treatment of the thought of Robert Cummings Neville, one of the most important and wide-ranging scholars working across the fields of philosophy, theology, and comparative studies today. Contributors assess the systematic structure and methodological unity of Neville s trilogy Axiology of Thinking, provide a postmodern contextualization of Neville s philosophy, and evaluate the critical relation of Neville to the history of Western philosophy. Metaphysical questions crucial to Neville s project are critiqued from different vantage points, theological problems are examined, and the comparative issues outstanding in Neville s understanding of Chinese philosophy are assessed. Enhancing the book is a rich concluding essay written by Neville himself in response to each author. [Contributors include George Allan, Delwin Brown, J.
