作者在广泛搜罗张东荪的原始资料和相关二手文献的基础上，通过对张氏多元认识论的内在理路及其理沦内在张力的深入梳理和分析，对张氏多元认识论的学术价值及其局限作了客观公平的评价。作者倡导的重建中国认识论传统虽尚在拟改筹建中，却切中了当代中国哲学之要害，指明了当代中国哲学应当努力的路向。(Based on a broad collection of original materials and second-handed literatures about Zhang Dongsun's philosophical thoughts, this book attempts to make an objective and fair evaluation on the academic values and limitations of Zhang's multi-dimensional epistemology with a thorough and in-depth analysis of the internal logic of his theory and its inherent tension. Although the author's proposal of re-establishing traditional Chinese epistemology is still in the phase of modifying and scheduling, it is actually to the point of developing contemporary Chinese philosophy and indicates the direction for the endeavor.)
