Description

"A Source Book in Chinese Philosophy" is a milestone along the complex and difficult road to significant understanding by Westerners of the Asian peoples and a monumental contribution to the cause of philosophy. It is the first anthology of Chinese philosophy to cover its entire historical development. It provides substantial selections from all the great thinkers and schools in every period--ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary--and includes in their entirety some of the most important classical texts. It deals with the fundamental and technical as well as the more general aspects of Chinese thought. With its new translation of source materials (some translated for the first time), its explanatory aids where necessary, its thoroughgoing scholarly documentation, this volume will be an indispensable guide for scholars, for college students, for serious readers interested in knowing the real China. --Publisher's description Contents: 1: The Growth of Humanism 2: The Humanism of Confucius 3: Idealistic Confucianism 4: Moral and Social Programs 5: Spiritual Dimensions 6: Naturalistic Confucianism 7: The Natural Way of Lao Tzu 8: The Mystical Way of Chuang Tzu 9: Mo Tzu's Doctrines of Universal Love, Heaven, and Social Welfare 10: Debates on Metaphysical Concepts 11: The Yin Yang School 12: Legalism 13: The Philosophy of Change 14: Yin Yang Confucianism 15: Taoistic Confucianism 16: The Naturalism of Wang Ch'ung 17: The Taoism of Huai-Nan Tzu 18: Negative Taoism in the Lieh Tzu and the "Yang Chu Chapter" 19: Neo-Taoism 20: The Seven Early Buddhist Schools 21: Seng-Chao's Doctrine of Reality 22: The Philosophy of Emptiness 23:Buddhist Idealism 24: The Tien-T'ai Philosophy of Perfect Harmony 25: The One-And-All Philosophy 26: The Zen (Ch'an) School of Sudden Enlightenment 27: The Revival of Confucianism 28: The Neo-Confucian Met Physics and Ethics in Chou Tun-I 29: The Numerical and Objective Tendencies in Shao Yung 30: Chang Tsai's Philosophy of Material Force 31: The Idealistic Tendency in Ch'eng Hao 32: The Rationalistic Tendency in Ch'eng I 33: The Unity of Mind and Principle in Lu Hsiang-Shan 34: The Great Synthesis in Chu Hsi 35: Dynamic Idealism in Wang Yang-Ming 36: The Materialism of Wang Fu-Chih 37: Practical Confucianism in Yen Yuan 38: Tai Chen's Philosophy of Principle as Order 39: K'ang Yu-Wei's Philosophy of Great Unity 40: The Philosophy of Humanity (Jen) in T'an Ssu-T'ung 41: Chang Tung-Sun's Theory of Knowledge 42: The New Rationalistic Confucianism 43: The New Idealistic Confucianism 44: Chinese Philosophy in Communist China
