Features: This book is one of the representative works of Mr. Li Shicen, and also one of the earliest works to systematically organize the development of Chinese philosophy within the framework of "Sino-Western Comparison." The entire book is compiled based on the lecture notes delivered by the author at the Summer Lecture Series of the Fujian Provincial Education Department in 1932, divided into ten lectures. Lecture one provides a detailed comparison of the main ideas of Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy in each corresponding historical stage, highlighting numerous commonalities between the two. The following nine lectures focus on systematically introducing nine of the most important philosophical schools in the history of Chinese philosophy, while incorporating similar perspectives from Western philosophy. Building on this foundation, the author uses dialectical materialism as the guiding ideology and methodology to comment on the views of each school, showcasing a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other philosophy history works of the same era.
