Features: The Way of the State and the Way of Governance shares a relationship with The Philosophy of History as one thread and one warp. With ten chapters, it clarifies the unsystematized ideas in The Philosophy of History into a rigorous philosophical system and elevates them further, as the author states: "This book revitalizes the lineage of Confucian and Mencian thought, revealing the scale of the teaching of inner sage and outer king, and further builds upon it to address the issues of the way of the state, achievements, and science in Chinese culture." As one of the "New Outer King Trilogy," Mou Zongsan deeply felt the pain of drastic changes in the times. By comprehensively referencing the unique characteristics and developmental trajectories of Eastern and Western thought and culture, he discussed the moral governance of Confucianism, the Daoist governance of the Dao, and the materialistic governance of Legalism. He also reflected on China's modernization and scientific democracy, aligning with many urgent issues deeply cared about by the intellectual community later on.
