The Metaphysics of Chinese Moral Principles de Mingjun Lu

The Metaphysics of Chinese Moral Principles: Modern Chinese Philosophy, cartea 23

Autor Mingjun Lu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 ian 2022
In The Metaphysics of Chinese Moral Principles, author Mingjun Lu seeks to construct and establish the metaphysics of Chinese morals as a formal and independent branch of learning by abstracting and systemizing the universal principles presupposed by the primal virtues and key imperatives in Daoist and Confucian ethics. Lu proposes that the metaphysical foundation of Chinese moral principles, as reinstated in this book, brings to light not only the universality of its core values and ideals but also a pivotal though hitherto neglected key to the enduring vibrancy of a civilization that has lasted several millennia.
