Features: This book is a facsimile reproduction of the 1937 edition of the "Series of Chinese Cultural History." Cai Yuanpei's History of Chinese Ethics is China's first monograph on the history of ethics. The author begins by clarifying concepts such as ethics and the history of ethics, systematically exploring Chinese ethics from ancient times to the Ming Dynasty. Not only does it describe the general characteristics of each era, but it also provides a relatively detailed analysis of the important schools of thought in each period. The author wrote this book as a textbook, so it is well-organized, uses simple language, and is concise yet comprehensive. The book remains highly valuable for reference to this day.
