Description

This concise introduction to the evolution of moral self-cultivation in Chinese Confucianism explores the development of ideas from pre-philosophical times to the 17th century. It examines how key thinkers such as Kongzi, Mengzi, Xunzi, Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming, Yan Yuan and Dai Zhen understood and practiced self-cultivation.

The book also relates these Confucian perspectives on moral self-cultivation to Western ethical traditions, providing a unique comparison of philosophical approaches. A bibliography and index are included for further reference.
