Summary

An Introduction to Chinese Philosophy unravels ancient Chinese philosophy and the complexities of Chinese Buddhism by placing them in the contemporary context of discourse. The author not only elucidates each philosopher's ideas, but also illuminates the links between different schools of philosophy.Beginning with the philosophy of Yijing, Part I also covers seven major philosophers in the ancient period: Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi and Han Feizi. Part II focuses on four major schools in Chinese Buddhism: the Consciousness-Only School, the Hua-yan School, the Tian-tai School and the Chan School. Each chapter focuses on three or four major issues of special interest to the philosopher presented, and several chapters share common themes.Informed by contemporary commentaries and debates on the central issues in Chinese philosophy, this volume opens the door to further study between Chinese and Western philosophy.
