A Source Book in Chinese Philosophy (Princeton Paperbacks)

by W. Chan

A Source Book in Chinese Philosophy (Princeton Paperbacks) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This Source Book is devoted to the purpose of providing such a basis for genuine understanding of Chinese thought (and thereby of Chinese life and culture, since the relationship between the two is probably more pronounced in China than in any other country).

Review:

Chan's theme is Chinese humanism, because this is the unavoidable theme of Chinese philosophy in nearly all ages. Heroically he has translated his philosophers himself, with the result that for the first time the entire map is seen through a consistent eye.

Description:

Bibliography: p. 793-811.
