The aim of our investigation is to contextualise Chinese wisdom and ethical traditions to inform those who are interested or engaged in a “dialogue” with China, regarding the dynamics and key strands of the tradition for their reference in dealing with this cross-cultural dialogue.

Key words: Chinese wisdom traditions, practical ethics, contextualisation
