Description

This insightful book brings together a series of research articles on Neo-Confucianism by the renowned scholar of Chinese philosophy, Mr. Chen Lai. From the perspective of contemporary Chinese culture and the integration of Chinese and Western philosophy, the author provides a thought-provoking exploration of topics such as " cultural perspectives," " mind-body theory," " metaphysics," and more. With detailed analysis and extensive references to relevant literature, the book discusses the innovative works of representative Neo-Confucian scholars in 20th-century Chinese philosophy, including Xiong Shili, Ma Yifu, Liang Shuming, and Feng Youlan. Through these discussions, the author illuminates the experiences, gains, and losses of modern Chinese philosophers in their efforts to develop a philosophy with distinctive Chinese characteristics in the face of Western cultural influence. Offering their own understanding and improvement suggestions for the theoretical inventions of scholars such as Feng Youlan and Xiong Shili, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of Neo-Confucianism and its relevance to contemporary Chinese culture.
