Features: This book is an important representative work of the renowned scholar Feng Youlan. It takes the trends of the times as its framework, conducting a uniquely original study of the entire history of Chinese philosophy and even cultural history, proposing a series of new insights that have significantly influenced academia. In terms of guiding ideology, the author "does not rely on others," independently conducting research on Chinese philosophy and culture based on his own understanding of Marxism. In terms of content structure, it weaves through the history of Chinese philosophy with the fundamental threads of universals and particulars, the general and the specific, resulting in a breadth that is not chaotic, and a rigor that remains lively, achieving unity between form and substance, and comprehensiveness and conciseness. The book focuses on the theory of spiritual realms in Chinese philosophy, further endowing it with the world significance of exploring the history of human spiritual development. For those who are interested in or study Chinese philosophy and culture, it is an indispensable reference book.
The history of Chinese philosophy is divided into four eras. Each era has its own special spiritual character. Class struggle and national struggle run through all the eras. This is their commonality; each era has its own special spiritual character, which is their particularity. Commonality is contained within particularity, and without particularity, there is no commonality. The task of historiography is to discover commonality within particularity and to explain particularity with commonality. In these four eras, some are divided into several periods, each with its own particularity. Based on these periods, the book is divided into seven volumes. The historical period of the first volume is from the Yin and Zhou to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period; the historical period of the second volume is mainly the Warring States Period; the historical period of the third volume is the Han Dynasty; the historical period of the fourth volume is from the Wei, Jin to the Sui, Tang; the historical period of the fifth volume is the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing; the historical period of the sixth and seventh volumes is the modern and contemporary eras.
