 This entire entry could be taken up with the question begged by its title: Is there metaphysics in Chinese Philosophy? The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy itself seems ambivalent. There is this entry, but instead of a corresponding entry for “Metaphysics in European Philosophy” there is an entry for  “Metaphysics”  that draws exclusively on European traditions. Rather than argue for the legitimacy of my topic in the abstract, I will explicate specific issues and positions from various Chinese philosophers, leaving it to readers to decide how well they fit the category of metaphysics. Nonetheless, I cannot entirely ignore the problem of applying the term “metaphysics” so far beyond its Greek origins, and so a few preliminary comments are  necessary.[1]
