Features: Over the past century, Chinese philosophy has faced two major issues. One is how to play its role among the numerous Chinese and foreign philosophical trends, and the other is how to stand out from the impact of modernization and better respond to the critical waves raised by modernism and postmodernism. In the 1980s, the rediscovery of pragmatic philosophy within Chinese philosophy provided solutions to these two issues. The book not only records research findings in this area but also explores new questions, prompting us to reflect more seriously on the development of Chinese philosophy. This book focuses on the essence and development of Chinese pragmatic philosophy, its relationship with Confucianism, Taoism, and other pragmatic schools, the contributions of historical thinkers to pragmatic philosophy, theoretical and applied issues of pragmatic philosophy, and the relationship between spiritual civilization construction and the development of pragmatic philosophy. It records research findings on Chinese pragmatic philosophy, making it a valuable reference for domestic and international scholars of pragmatic philosophy.
