Cultural Dialogues: East Meets West

Recently, Philip Pilkington and David Dusenbury published a couple of papers and an article on the long story of China's intellectual history with the West. A story that extends beyond Marco Polo, and has far more breadth and interchange in pre-modern times than most would suspect.

David Dusenbury is an Associate Professor of Humanities at the University of Florida, author of three well-regarded books of religious history, and a frequent writer and thinker on the history of ideas.

Last month, our duo sat down to comb over what they'd learned in the project for the Danube Culture podcast.

We're bringing you their exchange as a bonus this week.
