Description

Three Ways of Thought in Ancient China

This collection of extracts from influential Chinese thinkers offers insights into three distinct philosophical approaches: the imaginative, the moral, and the realistic.

Chuang Tzu's emphasis on the importance of imagination is balanced by Mencius' focus on moral feelings, while Han Fei Tzu's realist perspective finds echoes in modern totalitarianism. These ancient ideas continue to resonate with contemporary concerns, making this book a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy and its relevance today.
