The book mostly deals with the poignancy of dreams and how
transient they are. The poems also deal with the way the world
appears to the eyes of the author describing the emotions and
states of mind that he thinks in. In many ways this collection of
poetry is more like a lyrical commentary of the author's take on
what it takes to live in today's modern world of fast pace and
fleeting dreams.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
Humanity is at a critical juncture in its history. In the last 400
years, humanity has been going through the most profound cultural
change in human history. Western culture - and other cultures as
well - have in large measure accepted a view of reality as being
explainable solely in material terms. This fundamental philosophy
has shaped all areas of human activity. This book both describes
this phenomenon and evaluates whether there are good reasons to
accept it. The author argues that if we adopt such a philosophy,
then we have no basis for upholding the dignity of each human
being, and this has vast and frightening consequences for human
beings. This book is not just timely, but absolutely critical for
everybody to read. It is not presented in dry, abstract terms, but
in the language of humanity. It is a cry from a human heart, deeply
concerned about what is taking place in the world. It is one of the
most important books of our time.
In Late Works of Mou Zongsan, Jason Clower publishes English
translations of this most famous and influential of modern Chinese
philosophers for the first time. In essays chosen for their clarity
and approachability, this leading contemporary Confucian speaks on
the topics that best define his career: the future of Chinese
culture and philosophy, the unique achievements of Confucianism,
the place of Buddhism and Daoism in Chinese culture, and the
possibility of a new partnership between Chinese and Western
thought.
