Since its original publication in Chinese in the 1930s, this
work has been accepted by Chinese scholars as the most important
contribution to the study of their country's philosophy. In 1952
the book was published by Princeton University Press in an English
translation by the distinguished scholar of Chinese history, Derk
Bodde, "the dedicated translator of Fung Yu-lan's huge history of
Chinese philosophy" ("New York Times Book Review"). Available for
the first time in paperback, it remains the most complete work on
the subject in any language.
Volume I covers the period of the philosophers, from the
beginnings to around 100 B.C., a philosophical period as remarkable
as that of ancient Greece. Volume II discusses a period lesser
known in the West--the period of classical learning, from the
second century B.C. to the twentieth century.
