Joining them as chapter authors are esteemed scholars including Dr Benedict Chan, CAE’s current Director, and several other experts in the fields of traditional Chinese philosophy, bioethics, and medical science.

Dr Tong records his experience in studying, teaching and creating literature for more than 20 years in the book, and introduces 23 classic foreign authors in an easy-to-understand and vivid way.
