This special topic is to examine the pluralistic approaches in a comparative study on Eastern and Western literature/culture. As Susan Bassnett says comparative literature involves the study of texts across cultures, that it is interdisciplinary and that it is concerned with patterns of connection in literatures across both time and space. For studying on a comparative study on Eastern and Western literature, we need to use the pluralistic approaches to study them. These mean employing not any one method in interpreting a work of art but every method which might prove efficient. And we must understand following contents in the process of study: filiation and affiliation in Edward W. Said’s travelling theory, the thought of East and West, Zen Buddhism in Western society, Octavio Paz’s Orient, the meaning of ‘no’ in Eastern religion, the establishment of an authentic text in textual criticism, concept of reality, context framework which mean the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement or idea about ‘author, reader, language, text, reading.’ Those are the new ideas and concepts of Eastern and Western literature today. Accordingly we may find out new themes, approaches, and so on in the process of study of Eastern and Western literature by synthesizing the above contents.
