Features: Tang Junyi was a highly influential Chinese philosopher in the 20th century. Based on the integration of reason and ideals, as well as ideals and reality, he reconstructed the philosophy of moral idealism. At the same time, his philosophical thought served as a bridge between traditional and modern philosophy, as well as between Chinese and Western philosophy. If philosophy is the understanding of the spirit, it should have a creative spiritual experience, creatively grasp objects and transcend them, and pursue moral improvement of existence, then Tang Junyi's philosophy undoubtedly well embodies this value orientation of philosophical thinking. This book conducts a systematic analysis of Tang Junyi's philosophical thought from the perspective of empathetic understanding and rational critique. It not only provides a thorough interpretation of the central concept of Tang's philosophy, "the substance of the mind," but also systematically organizes it layer by layer from the perspectives of moral philosophy, cultural philosophy, and religious philosophy, thereby presenting the characteristics of Tang's philosophy from multiple angles.
