“…Some texts are extended reflections on African and Chinese ideas while others are brief tangents found in otherwise focused works. Some take up large sections of academic books hundreds of pages long (e.g., Kruger 1995;Robinson-Morris, Jr. 2018) while others are less than a hundred words (e.g., Kamalu 1990, preface). Yet the size of a text or even its stated focus does not determine automatically a text's potential importance to SARS/SAP.…”

"Constructive-Engagement" is a meta-philosophical and metamethodological "strategy" suggested by Chinese and comparative philosophy scholar Bo Mou for analyzing and enriching philosophical exchange. In this paper, I will use this strategy towards an end, on a scale, and with a topic not attempted before. I will use it as a "template" for redesigning a poorly developing area of cross-cultural comparison I call Sino-African reflective studies (SARS). My goal in this work-in-progress is to design a plan for reconstituting SARS as Sino-African philosophy (SAP), an inclusive yet coherent field of research and innovation unified through organizing principles. I will design the overhaul of SARS in three stages. First, by surveying SARS for its basic features including its structural flaws. Second, by remapping SARS in line with "renovation" principles drawn from its literature. Third, by blueprinting SARS in line with "construction" principles theorized from the constructive-engagement strategy (CES).
