In 1952 the book was published by Princeton University Press in an English translation by the distinguished scholar of Chinese history, Derk Bodde, "the dedicated translator of Fung Yu-lan's huge history of Chinese philosophy" (New York Times Book Review).

Download or read book Chinese Philosophy on Teaching and Learning written by Xu Di and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A translation and discussion of the central Confucian text on education, Xueji (On Learning and Teaching), influential in China from the Han dynasty to the present day. Written over two and a half millennia ago, the Xueji (On Teaching and Learning) is one of the oldest and most comprehensive works on educational philosophy and teaching methods as well as a consideration of the appropriate roles of teachers and students. The Xueji was included in the Liji (On Ritual), one of the Five Classics that became the heart of the educational system during Chinas imperial era, and it contains the ritual protocols adopted by the Imperial Academy during the Han dynasty. Chinese Philosophy on Teaching and Learning provides a new translation of the Xueji along with essays exploring this work from both Western and Chinese perspectives. Contributors examine the roots of educational thought in classical Chinese philosophy, outline similarities and differences with ideas rooted in classical Greek thought, and explore what the Xueji can offer educators today. As the world of education awakens to the vitality and importance of Chinas educational traditions, no text could be of greater interest than the XuejiChinas most ancient text on learning and teaching. This translation, with interpretation and discussion from noted philosophers and educators in China and America, will be an invaluable resource for courses in educational foundations, comparative education, and the history of education.

Download or read book Philosophical Horizons written by Yang Guorong and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Yang Guorong is one of the foremost living philosophers in China, and is widely known for the development of his “concrete metaphysics.” In Philosophical Horizons Yang offers penetrating discussions of some of the most important issues in modern philosophy—especially those topics related to comparative and Chinese philosophy. Drawing freely and adroitly on Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist texts, while staging a dialogue with Western thinkers such as from Kant and Hegel to Marx, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein, Yang shows how contemporary Chinese philosophy has adopted, localized, and critically developed Western ideas alongside traditional Chinese concepts.
Download or read book Lao Tz written by T Watters and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most remarkable men in the history of China, as also in the history of philosophy, is Lao-tzu, the author of the "Tao-te-ching." This book deserves, and has obtained with those who know it, a high place among philosophical works, and the posthumous fortunes of its author have very rarely been surpassed. That his own followers - or at least those who professed to be and probably believed that they were his followers -should magnify his name was only what we would have expected. They have raised him from the rank of ordinary mortals, and represented him as an incarnation of deity, showing himself on this earth at sundry times and in various manners. His conception and birth, his personal appearance, and everything about him have been represented by them as supernatural; and the philosophic little treatise which he composed is regarded as a sacred book. Much of this has arisen from a spirit of rivalry with Buddhism. The Taoists did not wish to be behind the Buddhists in the amount of glory and mystery attaching to the reputed originator of their religion; and they accordingly tried to make the fortunes of Lao-tzu like those of Shakyamuni, the Buddha of the Present.Both Confucianists and Buddhists, however, also regard the "Tao-te-ching" as a book of deep mysteries, and admit the supernatural, or at least marvellous, character of its author, though, as will be seen, many censure him for teaching doctrines either in themselves mischievous or leading to evil results when fully developed. At several periods of Chinese history Lao-tzu has enjoyed the patronage of government, and almost supplanted Confucius. Indeed, during several of the dynasties which reigned within the first few centuries of our era, there seems to have been a constant struggle for ascendancy between the followers of these two philosophic chiefs. Emperors have done honour to Lao-tzu in his temple, and the sovereigns of the great Tang dynasty were proud to deem him their lineal ancestor. One emperor has even written an excellent commentary on his book; and one of the best editions of the "Tao-te-ching" as regards textual excellence is that by a Confucian mandarin under the present dynasty. Buddhist monks also have edited the book with annotations, and many of them regard it and its author with a reverence second only to that with which the Taoist regard them.It is not only, however, his own countrymen who have given honour to this prophet. By Western writers also great and mysterious things have been attributed to him. Some have found in his book an enunciation of the doctrine of the Trinity. The illustrious Remusat discovered in it the sacred name Jehovah, and many curious analogies with the best philosophic writings of ancient times, and more especially with those of Greece. Pauthier, who has read and written largely about Lao-tzu, finds in his teachings the triple Brahma of the ancient Hindoos, the Adibuddha of the Northern Buddhists, and an anticipated Christianity. The "Tao" of which Lao-tzu speaks so much has been likened to God, to the Logos of Plato and the Neoplntonists, to "the nonentity of some German philosophers," and to many other things. Pauthier says: - "Le dieu invoquè et decrit par "Lao-tseu est la Grande Voie du monde, la raison supréme universelle," materiellement identique avec le mot qui sert á designer Dieu dans les langues grecque latine (Dens) et leurs derivèes modernes; mais les attribute qu'il lui donne ne sont point ceux qu'ont données á l'Etre supréme toutes les doctrines spiritualistes de l'Orient, transmises á l'Occident par una voie juive et grecque; par les therepeutes et les esséniens, dont Jesus, le fils de l'homme, fut le revelateur et le representant á l'etat philosophique."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book starts with the classification of the main views of different thinkers after the study of the original materials, which covers all the thinkers’ thoughts and conceptions. A major objective of this book is to reveal the ideas of the philosophers. Key ideological opinions are stated with the former discussion of exact questions and further clarification of their philosophical meaning, which enables the readers to better understand the meaning and value of the philosophical thoughts. Since the logic and history are in accordance with each other, a frame of conception is formed then. Then, the author clearly explains the logical relationship in the frame mentioned before, as well as the formation of the key concepts and their relationship.
