Drawing on evidence from a wide range of classical Chinese texts,
this book argues that xingershangxue, the study of "beyond form",
constitutes the core argument and intellectual foundation of Daoist
philosophy. The author presents Daoist xingershangxue as a typical
concept of metaphysics distinct from that of the natural philosophy
and metaphysics of ancient Greece since it focusses on
understanding the world beyond perceivable objects and phenomena as
well as names that are definable in their social, political, or
moral structures. In comparison with other philosophical traditions
in the East and West, the book discusses the ideas of dao, de, and
"spontaneously self-so", which shows Daoist xingershangxue's
theoretical tendency to transcendence. The author explains the
differences between Daoist philosophy and ancient Greek philosophy
and proposes that Daoist philosophy is the study of xingershangxue
in nature, providing a valuable resource for scholars interested in
Chinese philosophy, Daoism, and comparative philosophy.
