Qi ("vital energy") is one of the most important concepts in
Chinese philosophy and culture, and neo-Confucian Zhang Zai
(1020-1077) plays a pivotal role in developing the notion. An
investigation of his philosophy of qi is not confined to his
particularity, but sheds light upon the notion of qi as it is
understood within Chinese and East Asian thought in general. Yet,
his position has not been given a thorough philosophical analysis
in contemporary times. The purpose of this book is to provide a
thorough and proper understanding of Zhang Zai's philosophy of qi.
Zhang Zai's Philosophy of Qi: A Practical Understanding focuses on
the practical argument underlying Zhang Zai's development of qi
that emphasizes the endeavor to create meaningful coherence amongst
our differences through mutual communication and transformation. In
addition to this, the book compares and engages Zhang Zai's
philosophy of qi with John Dewey's philosophy of aesthetic
experience in order to make Zhang Zai's position more plausible and
relevant to the contemporary Western audience.
