It also elucidates the practical implications of their positions. Jung-Yeup Kim shows how these thinkers respectively utilized and developed the notion of gi to philosophically overcome various kinds of divisions of their times for the purpose of practically enhancing the vitality of the human experience. He also comparatively engages the thought of these thinkers with the ideas of various scholars in the field of contemporary everyday aesthetics. By doing so, Kim shows the contemporary relevance of the thoughts of each philosopher and the further practical implications of their ideas. The book is relevant for professors, scholars, and students of Asian and Comparative Philosophy\/Religion and Asian Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJung-Yeup Kim\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in The School of Multidisciplinary Social Sciences and Humanities at Kent State University, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversity of Prince Edward Island\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032377418\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"University of Prince Edward Island","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691586683020,"sku":"9783032377418","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032377418","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
