Mou Zongsan ??? (1909-1995) was the theoretical genius behind New Confucianism, a philosophical and cultural movement marking the revival of Ruxue in Asia and Northern America since the late 1970s. This book is the first thorough study in English of Mou's multi-faceted and complex system. It examines the key influences of Xiong Shili ??? (1885-1968), G. W. F. Hegel (1770-1831), and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) on the Chinese thinker and presents his thought as a contemporary moral metaphysical recasting of the Lu-Wang Learning of the Mind using Mahayana Fo paradigms and Kantian terminology. The study also reveals the strong Han cultural nationalism entwined with Mou's philosophical system and looks at how his thought has been received.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"[N. Serina Chan] argues convincingly here that Han cultural nationalism is inseparable from the New Confucian movement, drawing skillfully on the work of such observers of Chinese academia as Theodore Huters, Gloria Davies and Thomas Metzger [...] Chan's broad work will prove very useful as a desk reference to Mou's long career and wide-ranging oeuvre [...]; until the day when someone publishes a concordance of Mou's writings or makes them available in a searchable electronic format, Chan's book will become the first resort for scholars researching Mou's thinking about a given topic."
