Students and teachers of Chinese history and philosophy will not
want to miss Daniel Gardner's accessible translation of the
teachings of Chu Hsi (1130-1200)--a luminary of the Confucian
tradition who dominated Chinese intellectual life for centuries.
Homing in on a primary concern of our own time, Gardner focuses on
Chu Hsi's passionate interest in education and its importance to
individual development. For hundreds of years, every literate
person in China was familiar with Chu Hsi's teachings. They
informed the curricula of private academies and public schools and
became the basis of the state's prestigious civil service
examinations. Nor was Chu's influence limited to China. In Korea
and Japan as well, his teachings defined the terms of scholarly
debate and served as the foundation for state ideology. Chu Hsi was
convinced that through education anyone could learn to be fully
moral and thus travel the road to sagehood. Throughout his life, he
struggled with the philosophical questions underlying education:
What should people learn? How should they go about learning? What
enables them to learn? What are the aims and the effects of
learning? Part One of Learning to Be a Sage examines Chu Hsi's
views on learning and how he arrived at them. Part Two presents a
translation of the chapters devoted to learning in the
Conversations of Master Chu.
