Ulrich Libbrecht

Ulrich Libbrecht is a Belgian philosopher and active writer in the field of comparative philosophy. His magnum opus consists of four books in Dutch - called "Introduction to Comparative Philosophy".

An abbreviated version of these works in English, entitled "Within the Four Seas..." was published by Peeters Ed. (Leuven, 2007)This book explains how a comparative model, based on the paradigm-free axes of energy and information, accommodates the current world-views of Taoism, Buddhism and Rationalism – representing the Chinese, Indian and Western heritage - and shows how science and religion interrelate within such a global framework.

Prof. dr. Ulrich Libbrecht is an authority in the field of Eastern and Comparative philosophy. He studied sinology in Gent, graduated cum laude in 1972 at the R.U. Leiden and that same year became professor in sinology, Chinese philosophy and boeddhology at the University of Leuven.
