The Humanist Spirit of Daoism: Modern Chinese Philosophy, cartea 15

Autor Guying Chen Editat de David Jones, Sarah Flavel Traducere de Hans-Georg Moeller
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 feb 2018
In The Humanist Spirit of Daoism, Chen Guying presents a concise overview of his understanding of the meaning and significance of Daoist philosophy. Chen is a leading contemporary Chinese thinker and spokesperson for a new Daoist approach to existential and socio-political issues. He was born in mainland China in 1935, but after having resettled to Taiwan, he received his education there and was a student activist in the 1960s. He became famous in the Chinese-speaking world with his writings on Nietzsche, Laozi and Zhuangzi. At present he is a Professor at Peking University. This volume collects representative essays from the past 25 years which not only outline Chen’s interpretation of Daoism as a deeply humanist way of thinking and living, but also show how he employs this philosophy in a critique of totalitarianism and neo-imperialism.

Recenzii

"Here, contributions have an authority based on lineage, which Chen carefully traces through the chapters of this book from antiquity to modernity, including the work of Jin Yeulin and Fang Dongmei, the 'New Daoists'. This all makes Chen an excellent source for educating oneself in the philosophical Daoist tradition from a Chinese scholarly perspective." - Sydney Morrow, Nazarbayev University (Reading Religion: A Publication of the American Academy of Religion)

"The book is an important read for those who wish to learn from an outstanding scholar about early and contemporary Daoism." - Lhel Balogh, Hokkaido University, in: Religious Studies Review 45:3 (September 2019)
