This book argues that a general understanding of traditional
Chinese philosophy can be achieved by a concise elaboration of its
truth, goodness and beauty; that goodness and beauty in Chinese
philosophy, combined with the integration of man and heaven,
knowledge and practice, scenery and feeling, reflect a pursuit of
an ideal goal in traditional Chinese philosophy characterized by
the thought mode uniting man and nature.This book also discusses
the anti-traditionalism of the May Fourth Movement, explaining that
the true value of "sagacity theory" in traditional Chinese
philosophy, especially in Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming
dynasties, lies in its insights into universal life. In addition,
existing ideas, issues, terminologies, concepts, and logic of
Chinese philosophical thought were actually shaped by Western
philosophy. It is necessary to be alienated from traditional status
for the creation of a viable "Chinese philosophy." "Modern Chinese
philosophy" in the 1930s and 1940s was comprised of scholarly work
that characteristically continued rather than followed the
traditional discourse of Chinese philosophy. That is to say, in the
process of studying and adapting Western philosophy, Chinese
philosophers transformed Chinese philosophy from traditional to
modern.In the end of the book, the author puts forward the idea of
a "New Axial Age." He emphasizes that the rejuvenation of Chinese
culture we endeavor to pursue has to be deeply rooted in our
mainstream culture with universal values incorporating cultures of
other nations, especially the cultural essence of the West.
