Features: This book is Hu Shih's breakthrough work and one of his representative works, first published in 1919. Guided by the academic spirit of "、" (、), Hu Shih employed traditional Chinese textual criticism and Western positivism to systematically analyze and elucidate the doctrines and thoughts of the Hundred Schools of Thought, including Laozi, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Zhuangzi, and Xunzi, in the form of vernacular Chinese. With innovative methods and numerous original insights, the book pioneered the study of the history of Chinese philosophy, exerting a broad and profound influence not only at the time but also on later academic thought.
