Abstract:
This article presents case-based thinking as a characteristic form of Chinese reasoning and argumentation. It discusses such thinking comparatively in view of the renewed interest in casuistry and the anecdotal, and it challenges the tendency to limit the analysis of "thinking through cases" to ancient and imperial China.
