Answering this question and positioning both philosophical traditions in their respective intellectual and linguistic contexts, Li  argues that what Husserl means by essence differs from what Chinese Yogacarins mean by \u003ci\u003esvabhava. \u003c\/i\u003eWe see how Husserl problematises the substantialist understanding of essence in European philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailing the process of finding a middle ground between the two traditions, Li's rich study demonstrates how both can thrive together in order to overcome Orientalism. She reveals that Chinese Yogacara has developed a distinct account of self-transformation, ethics and social ontology that renders it much more than simply a Buddhist version of Husserlian phenomenology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on Bloomsbury Collections.
