Roman Ingarden was a prominent Polish philosopher, aesthetician and theorist whose achievements in the field of phenomenology have exerted a significant influence on contemporary Chinese students and scholars. Although papers and monographs on Ingarden have been produced within the Chinese academic community, none has been written in English to review his dissemination and reception in China. This paper focuses on the following three questions: First, under what circumstances was Ingarden introduced to China? Second, how was his work disseminated within and received by China’s research community? And last, what influence does he have on Chinese students and scholars today? Addressing these questions will help promote cultural exchange and mutual understanding between China and Poland.
