This is a philosophical book about the idea of human freedom in the
context of Chinese philosophy on truth, the good, and beauty. The
book shows that there is a coherent and sophisticated philosophical
discourse on human freedom throughout the history of Chinese
Philosophy in aesthetics, ethics, and epistemology. Feng Qi
discusses the development of freedom in light of the Marxist theory
of practice. In the history of philosophy, the relation between
thought and existence, which is fundamental to philosophy, has
stimulated many debates. These debates, though they have assumed
diverse forms in Chinese and Western philosophy, have eventually
concentrated on three inquiries: the natural world (the objective
material world); the human mind; and the concepts, categories, and
laws that are representative forms of nature in the human mind and
in knowledge. In Chinese philosophy, the three inquiries are
summarized using three notions: qi (气 breath, spirit), xin (心
heart), dao (道 the Way). What relationship do the three notions
have with each other? This book explores the way to human freedom
through the divergent paths in Chinese philosophy. This book’s
investigation of human activities brings the typical Chinese
philosophical discourse from the cosmological realm into the realm
of human beings as individuals. In this regard, the three inquiries
can be described as being about real life, ideals, and individuals.
