Chinese Philosophy A to Z
Chinese philosophy and Chinese civilization go hand in hand, and the richness of both is spectacularly obvious to anyone who has even a little knowledge about them. Some of the terms for the major philosophical schools in China are unfamiliar to many outside of that culture, and yet the debates that characterize them are rather familiar, as are the strategies for resolving those debates. On the other hand, they also seem to be rather distant from the leading controversies in other cultures, and a good deal of contextual knowledge is required in order to begin to grasp where the conceptual battle-lines actually lie and how the protagonists of different positions understand what they are doing. There can be no doubt, however, about the quality of the work that was carried out under the label of Chinese philosophy, and Bo Mou’s account has the advantage of linking it closely with philosophy in general, so that Chinese philosophers are seen very much as part of the general philosophical enterprise as such, and not just as a specific Chinese phenomenon.Download the free Ebook here.
