Features: This book is a collection of essays that studies the thought of Lu Jiuyuan's Mind School and its influence on later cultural developments, as well as the academic and practical activities of Jiangxi thinkers. As a shining star in the history of Chinese philosophy and even the history of Chinese thought, Lu Jiuyuan proposed the proposition "Mind is Principle," asserting that the principle of Heaven, humanity, and nature lies solely within the mind, with the mind being the only reality: "The universe is my mind, and my mind is the universe." This not only propelled the development of the Mind School movement and replaced orthodox Neo-Confucianism (Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism) as a dominant intellectual trend but also profoundly influenced the cultural and historical landscape and progress of Chinese society.
