Features: Tang Junyi was a highly influential Chinese philosopher in the 20th century. On the basis of integrating rationality with ideals and ideals with reality, he reconstructed the philosophy of moral idealism. At the same time, his philosophical thought served as a bridge between traditional philosophy and modern philosophy, as well as between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy. If philosophy is the understanding of the spirit, it should have a creative spiritual experience, creatively grasp objects and transcend them, and pursue moral improvement of existence, then Tang Junyi's philosophy undoubtedly well embodies this value orientation of philosophical thinking. Based on empathetic understanding and rational critique, this book systematically analyzes Tang Junyi's philosophical thought. It not only provides a thorough interpretation of the central concept of Tang's philosophy, "The Nature of the Mind," but also organizes it layer by layer from the perspectives of moral philosophy, cultural philosophy, and religious philosophy, thereby presenting Tang's philosophy from multiple angles.
