Features: This book is a monumental work by Mr. Tang Junyi in his later years, encompassing all philosophical thoughts from ancient to modern times, both within and beyond China. The central theme of the book is to argue that all human philosophy, thought, and culture are formed or experienced as realms of our existence and spiritual activities. There are nine such realms, which are observed by considering the inner and outer, front and back, and upper and lower aspects of the mind. These are further examined through the three principles of substance, form, and function, resulting in the formation of nine realms.
