Dr. Rogacz received the National Program for the Development of Humanities Uniwersalia 2.2 Grant for the project “Polish translation and critical edition of ‘Lunheng’ (‘Balanced Essays’) of Wang Chong” (2019-2024), which aims at offering the first Polish translation of Chinese philosophical treatise written in the imperial era, as well as the third translation of Wang Chong’s “Lunheng” (after English and French). The translation, estimated at c. 1000 pages, will be published by PWN Publishing House as the first book of Chinese philosopher within the prestiogous and 70-year-long book series “Library of the Classics of Philosophy”. The philosophy of Wang Chong (27-97 CE) is an original and systematic example of Chinese naturalism, skepticism and the proto-scientific thought. Critical edition of his opum magnum will entail several library queries in Netherlands and China, designed to be conducted during the next five years.
