Xiong Shili (1885-1968) is widely recognized as a founding figure
of the modern New Confucian school of philosophy and seen by many
as one of the most important and creative Chinese philosophers of
the twentieth century. His ultimate concern throughout his long
intellectual career was to show that "Reality (ti) and function
(yong) are non-dual." Reality is the "locus" that ontologically
grounds the phenomenal yet is not different from the phenomenal.
His onto-cosmology draws syncretically on a diverse range of
resources in the Chinese philosophical tradition to construct his
own overarching metaphysical vision, articulated within the broader
context of advancing a systematic critique of both Madhyamaka and
Yogācāra Buddhist thought, the culmination of nearly four decades
of critical engagement. Treatise on Reality and Function (Ti yong
lun) is the mature expression of Xiong's signature metaphysical
doctrine. Published in 1958, Xiong considered it to be his most
important philosophical achievement, but it has never before
appeared in English. This annotated translation by John Makeham
presents the text along with the original foreword attributed to
Han Yuankai, and Xiong's original preface.
