Vytis Silius. During your stay in Vilnius, I have heard that you have so many invitations to give lectures and deliver speeches at conferences in the United States and abroad that you have to decline many of those. What made you to accept the invitation from the Centre of Oriental Studies at Vilnius University? And how do you feel about your choice to come here now, as your visit is slowly coming to an end? Henry Rosemont, Jr. Well, a number of things combined. First was a meeting with loreta at the academie du Midi conference last year and her friend Geir Sigurdsson―now moving to the University of tallinn―both of whom said they would like to have me come to their campuses for lectures and provide some consultations for developing Asian studies programs at their institutions. i am always pleased to assist in the development of academic programs dealing with asia, as you know, because we are now at a point in the world where we must seriously entertain the idea that we must not only learn about the other, but from the other as well. Moreover, neither my wife Joann nor i had ever been to either country, so of course i accepted the invitation to come if the arrangements could be made. Happily they were, and we are very glad for we have already come to be very fond of the lithuania we have seen so far―the countryside, the old city, the university, and the people―and we are looking forward to enjoying iceland as well. V.S. Why should scholars study Chinese thought? What is it that is relevant to peoples with such different cultural backgrounds as in Iceland, Lithuania, the United States, and China? H.R. although lithuanian, icelandic, and american cultures are different, they share a number of assumptions and presuppositions. all three are strongly influenced by the Judeo-Christian and ancient Greek religious and philosophical heritages. of course China is very different from those, and therefore i have always seen China as an extremely useful intellectual tool for the education of young people, because it forces you to confront a way of life that is different from what you are accustomed to in a very basic way. You don’t just challenge the view; you challenge the presuppositions on which the view is based. and in that way, the more you look through the window
