Features: Ancient Chinese philosophy is basically from three aspects: the theory of Heaven's Way (Tian Dao) and human way (Ren Dao), as well as the methods of acquiring the Way (Wang Dao). The content of this volume is the first two parts of A History of the Development of Ancient Chinese Philosophical Problems: Cosmology and Life Philosophy. The book focuses on nine important philosophical issues in ancient China: cosmogony, metaphysics, spatial concepts, views on permanence and change, the theory of contradiction, the mind-body relationship, theories of human nature, ideals of life, and historical perspectives. It elaborates on the origins, evolution, and historical processes of these philosophical problems—how they were proposed, debated, and resolved—to highlight the trajectory of the establishment, differentiation, integration, and development of key philosophical categories, while embodying the principle of the unity of history and logic.
