Features: This book is part of the "Philosophical Historians' Library" and is another work on the study of Neo-Confucianism following "The Evolution of Neo-Confucianism." It was first published in 1989. These two books represent my fundamental views on Neo-Confucianism. The former examines it from a vertical, historical perspective, while the latter studies it from a horizontal, theoretical perspective. The book is mainly divided into four parts: Part One - Principle and Qi, Part Two - Mind and Nature, Part Three - Knowledge and Action, Part Four - Heaven and Humanity.
