Features: Liang Shuming, a 20th-century Chinese thinker hailed as the "symbol of cultural China," was a Confucian master who embraced Buddhist faith in the history of Chinese thought. He was the conductor and performer of the new symphony of Confucianism in the 20th century and a representative figure of New Confucianism in the history of modern academia. This volume primarily includes three of his representative works: Eastern and Western Cultures and Their Philosophies, which blends Western philosophy, Indian Buddhism, and Confucianism, opening up new prospects for ancient Chinese Confucianism at the social and political level; Essentials of Chinese Culture, reflecting his understanding of the history of Chinese society and culture, with the motivation of "understanding old China to build a new China"; and Life and the Human Heart, written in his later years, is the culmination of his lifelong philosophical research and the final systematic expression of his decades-long reconstruction of Confucianism.
