Features: This is a theoretical monograph with a novel concept and vivid elaboration. The author abstractly summarizes the philosophical thoughts of our Chinese nation over thousands of years as the Chinese people's grasp of the world and the methods to achieve this grasp. He proposes a new argument that Chinese philosophy is the origin and destination of the human spirit, believing that the current Western enthusiasm for Eastern (Chinese) philosophy and the trend of learning wisdom from the East are not solely due to the economic rise of the "Four" but also because the highly developed natural sciences have revealed the relationship between heaven, earth, and humans, which fully validates the beliefs of Chinese philosophy. The book also specifically summarizes the basic content of Chinese philosophy as the destination of human spirit from five aspects. Vivid elaboration and rich inspiration are the major features of this book.
