The Philosophy of Wang Yang-Ming is a comprehensive exploration of the ideas and teachings of the Chinese philosopher Wang Yang-Ming. Written by Frederick Goodrich Henke, a renowned scholar of Chinese philosophy, the book provides a detailed analysis of Wang's philosophy, examining its historical context, its key concepts and themes, and its significance for contemporary philosophical debates.Wang Yang-Ming was a prominent philosopher and statesman in Ming-dynasty China, whose ideas had a profound influence on the development of Neo-Confucianism. His philosophy emphasized the importance of moral cultivation and self-awareness, and rejected the idea of a fixed, predetermined human nature. Instead, Wang argued that human nature is constantly evolving and can be shaped through conscious effort and reflection.Henke's book explores these and other key ideas in Wang's philosophy, examining their implications for ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics. He also provides a detailed analysis of Wang's major works, including the Instructions for Practical Living and the Record of Reflections on Things at Hand, and discusses their historical and cultural significance.Overall, The Philosophy of Wang Yang-Ming is an essential resource for anyone interested in Chinese philosophy, Neo-Confucianism, or the history of ideas more broadly. Henke's insightful analysis and clear writing make this book accessible to both scholars and general readers alike.Translated From The Chinese.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
