Features: "Collected Writings of Shi Jun" is a selected collection of essays that showcases the scholarly contributions of the renowned philosopher Shi Jun over six decades of dedication to the fields of Chinese philosophy and Buddhism. With a deep understanding of Chinese, Western, and Indian traditions, Shi Jun left behind an indelible academic legacy. The collected works primarily focus on the history of Chinese philosophy and Buddhism during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the Tang Dynasty, which was the core of his academic pursuits. His specialized research on the history of Chinese theories of human nature had a profound impact on Chinese academia over six decades ago, beginning with his ethics lectures at Southwest Associated University in 1938. These lectures hold pioneering significance in modern Chinese ethics research. His findings on the history of modern Chinese philosophy reveal the insightful reasoning of the leading figures in this field after 1949. The lecture notes on the history of Chinese philosophical source materials and the translation and dialectical analysis of Chinese and foreign philosophical source materials demonstrate his lifelong erudition and rigor in scholarship. The methodological essays summarizing his teaching experience expose his efforts to integrate Marxist perspectives in the study of Chinese philosophy.
