Features: This book proposes the unique insight that traditional Chinese philosophy is a form of moral wisdom. The author takes the distinction between science and philosophy, and Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy, as a starting point, with the aim of tracing the original spirit of history. Against the backdrop of the thoughts of the pre-Qin philosophers, the pre-Qin Confucian and Daoist thoughts are primarily examined. The book delves into the moral wisdom of traditional Chinese culture from seven aspects: morality and will, morality and emotion, morality and aesthetics, morality and knowledge, morality and personality, morality and ideals, and morality and realm. The conclusion is that moral wisdom is a philosophical inquiry into the way of life, the harmony of interpersonal relationships, the ideal of personality, and the realm of life. And traditional Chinese philosophy is the moral wisdom of human survival and development, as well as the spiritual homeland that provides a sense of belonging.
