Notes

  1. 1.

    The fact that in the ancient Chinese philosophy categories, epistemological concepts related to “truth” is rare and are of insignificant theoretical importance can proof this point. See Zhang Dainian “On the Conceptual System of Ancient Chinese Philosophy”. Social Sciences in China, 1985, No. 2.
