Vincent Shen submitted his paper, “Desire, Representing Process, and Translatability” for blind review in 2017. Unfortunately, he passed away on Nov. 14, 2018, while the paper was in the last stages of copyediting. In this issue, Mingran Tan remembers this inspiring mentor and the editors at Philosophy East and West are honored to publish one of Prof. Shen’s last essays.
Philosophy East and West vol. 69, no. 2 includes the following scholarly works:
