Abstract: The paper begins with a summary of the four propositions in Zhou Ning's transcultural studies of imagology, and in the spirit of Kantian dialectics proposes four counter propositions. The paper proceeds to demonstrate the approaches to prove both the propositions and counter-propositions. The four pairs of antimonies may lead us into investigating how in the post-metaphysical age a constructive breakthrough of approach may be realized in transcultural studies of imagology.

Key words: transcultural studies, imagology, antimony
