Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This book begins with an analysis of Confucius's benevolence, and discusses various major trends of thought, factions, and figures from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It emphasizes that Chinese dialectics is "action-based" rather than "speculative."
The Qin and Han dynasties' cosmology of "harmony between heaven and man", the aesthetics of Zhuangzi and Zen Buddhism's metaphysical pursuit of life, the important value of Song and Ming Neo-Confucianism as a moral metaphysics, and the separation of "governing people" and "governing by law" in the thoughts of the Ming and Qing dynasties all symbolized the shaking of traditional China's system of combining politics and religion, and the gradual approach of thought to modern times.
