Beskrivning
Revisits Zhu Xi's philosophy from a broader intercultural perspective and considers the relevance of his thought to our contemporary moment.As the chief architect of Neo-Confucian thought, the philosopher Zhu Xi (1130–1200) brought about a momentous transformation in Chinese philosophy, drawing strands of Confucian thought together with Daoism and Buddhism to form a coherent, holistic system. Moreover, his editions and commentaries on the Confucian classics were the standard for the imperial examination system for over five centuries, until the late Qing dynasty. The present volume takes a new route in Zhu Xi studies by revisiting his thought and scholarship from a broader, intercultural perspective. Bringing together East Asian and Western scholars in history and philosophy to reveal the relevance and application of Zhu Xi's thought across a variety of cultures—East Asian, Southeast Asian, and American—the book confirms his status as a major world philosopher with a timely cosmopolitan spirit sorely needed in the twenty-first century.

Recensioner i media

"This meticulously crafted volume represents a remarkable contribution to Western knowledge regarding one of the most important thinkers in Chinese philosophy. It fills a significant gap by systematically introducing the work of Zhu Xi to Western readers, exploring his intellectual legacy while profoundly enriching our understanding of Chinese philosophy more broadly. Particularly valuable are the translations of important essays by Sinophone scholars. Drawing from their rich cultural and intellectual heritage to offer fresh and comprehensive insights into Zhu Xi's philosophical ideas and teachings, these scholars not only shed light on Zhu Xi's work itself but also provide a deeper understanding of his broader influence and significance within the context of Chinese intellectual history." — Jana Rošker, University of Ljubljana
